At all times: - Do not leave your child in the car; - Always adhere to parking attendants' instructions; - Avoid turning in neighbours' or sidewalk to drop off your children; and - Demonstrate courtesy and patience, as you children are observing your behaviour. PEDESTRIAN SAFETY Toronto Campus: By TTC: students arriving or departing should cross Lawrence Avenue with the crossing guard at the corner of Mildenhall Road or at the 318 Lawrence traffic lights. On foot: students should use the campus walkways. By car: students should enter and leave from the side of the car closest to the walkway. If a child is arriving in a taxi at La p'tite école or the Junior School, the taxi driver should bring the child to the branch front door. Under no circumstances should any students walk between parked cars or cross driveways! BICYCLES, SCOOTERS AND SKATEBOARDS Under provincial law, all children under the age of 18 must wear a helmet while biking. Similarly, TFS strongly recommends that students wear helmets while using a scooter or skateboarding. All staff and students are expected to walk their bikes and scooters or carry their skateboards while on school property. Bike racks are available in front of the Senior School, to the west side of the Junior School, in front of La p'tite école and next to the administration building (306 Lawrence) on the Toronto campus. There is a bicycle rack at the West Campus as well. Please make sure to lock your bike or scooter with a sturdy lock and always use the designated bike racks. If you notice any suspicious activity or have concerns, please report them to campus security right away. Thank you for taking these precautions to ensure a safer
