| | Information | | Grande Prairie, AB, Monday, June 24, 2019, 10:15 a.m. – Students and staff at Wembley Elementary School and Helen E. Taylor School were briefly under Hold and Secure earlier this morning while police responded to a situation in the area. During the Hold and Secure, students and staff were safe inside the school. Those participating in a class field trip within the town were directed to the local arena. The police advised both schools when the situation had ended.
What is Hold and Secure? - A response to an unrelated threat and/or incident in close proximity to the school, taking place OUTSIDE the school.
- School life continues as normal inside the school, however, the precautionary measure to lock school doors is taken to ensure staff and students are safe, and to reduce activity while officials conduct their work.
- Access to and from the school is restricted and carefully monitored. The Hold and Secure is lifted when emergency personnel advise that the situation has ended.
- Examples: Nearby police activity, a threatening animal.

| | Information | | Frequently Asked Questions How do I register my child? You can register your child online. Note: All registrants will be placed on a waiting list and asked to attend a brief "Welcome to JK" morning on June 22nd. The information gained from this meeting will help us make balanced classes. When does registration open? Registration for Junior Kindergarten will open on June 1st, 2018. When does the program take place? The program will run for the entirety of the school year. We are planning to offer two half-day morning programs (Monday/Wednesdays & Tuesday/Thursdays). If enrollment warrants additional classes, we will look to offer an afternoon program(s) as well. *Disclaimer – you may not get your preferred days, as there are many factors we need to consider when creating classes. What is the cost? There will be a small fee of $50 for the year to help offset the cost of supplies. Can my child ride the bus? They can ride the bus one-way, if they have an older sibling(s) who rides the bus. How many children will be in each class? The classes will be capped at 12 children. | 5/31/2018 |
