Isabelle Sellon School Dress Code

DRESS CODE

I.S.S. aims to create and maintain a safe, respectful and professional atmosphere that fosters an environment where all students, staff and guests can “learn, play and be well together”. 

Students must be dressed appropriately at school.  Appropriately dressed means:

  • Clothing must be modest in fabric, design and style
  • Respectful and age appropriate.
  • Clothing must cover all underwear
  • Tops and bottoms must meet when the arms are at the sides
  • Messages printed on clothing are in good taste (alcohol/drug related, profanity and violent materials are not permitted)
  • Indoor and outdoor footwear are required
  • Headwear of any sort is not allowed in any classroom environment and must be kept in their locker; except on Friday’s (or last day of the week) or School Spirit Days. Students are welcome to wear headwear during recess breaks.
  • Students who ride their bikes/scooters/rollerblades to and from school must wear a helmet.  If they arrive without a helmet, parents will be contacted and the equipment will be held for pickup. Bikes and scooters are parked at the bike racks until the end of the school day and are not used during recess breaks. 

Students will be asked to change clothing if dress is not respectful or age appropriate.  Parents will be notified if an issue persists.

Student Assessment and Reporting

Report Cards:

Report cards are one of several ways we communicate student progress.  Three written report cards will be sent home with students throughout the school year:

    • Friday, November 28th
    • Friday, March 13th
    • Friday, June 23th

Scheduled Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences

These scheduled interview times represent formal opportunities for conversations regarding student progress, however, parents are strongly encouraged to make contact with their child's teacher at any time throughout the school year.

  • Student Progress Interviews are arranged to allow scheduled conversations to take place between students, parents and classroom teachers based on Individual Support Plans (ISP's/BSP's) and any preliminary student progress based on benchmark assessments.  
    • Thursday, October 23- 4:30pm-7:30pm
    • Friday, October 24 - 8:30am-1:00pm (No classes for students)
  • Parent/Teacher/Student Three-Way Conferences are scheduled following the first report card:

    • Thursday, December 4 - 4:30-7:30pm
  • Student-led Celebration of Learning Evening is scheduled following the second report card:
    • Thursday, March 19 - 4:30-7:30pm

Student Assessment

Assessment is based on the Alberta Education Program of Studies Curriculum, and can be composed of tests, quizzes, projects, checklists, rubrics, journal entries, teacher anecdotal comments and student portfolios. 

Fire and Lockdown Drills

Fire Drills

Fire drills are held for the safety and well-being of both staff and students.  These drills are held throughout the year; students are aware of the dates and times of the first three drills, any remaining drills are unnannounced.   Upon the fire alarm sounding, under the direction of a school staff member, students make there way to the nearest exit and gather in a pre-determined area.  If a secondary gathering site is required, students will be directed to a  pre-determined location.

Lockdown Drills

Lockdown drills are held throughout the year; students, staff and parents are aware of the times and dates of the first three drills, any remaining drills are unannounced.  External or internal threats may require the school to perform lockdown procedures.  Staff explain and practice lockdown procedures with students throughout the school year.
