Student Agendas

ATMS Student Planner
 ATMS requires all students to keep their student agenda up to date throughout the year. If students lose their planner, or if pages have been removed, they will be expected to buy a new planner for $8.00.


Early and Late Arrivals

ATMS Student Arrival Picture

Our school day begins with a warning bell at 8:15 am and finishes at 2:21 pm. The building opens at 7:45 am, however some students may be asked to arrive earlier.

Students arriving early between 7:45 am - 8:00 am are expected to wait outside until the morning bell rings. Students should be prepared for inclement weather and make sure they have an umbrella, suitable footwear and appropriate jacket.

Late arrivals are unfair interruptions for the class. Students are expected to be present and punctual for all classes. If a student is late, he/she must check in at the school office, pick up a late slip and give the slip to the teacher upon entering the class.

If a student has not been pick up by 2:30 pm he/she must report to the front hallway, near the main entrance to await pick up.


School Visitors

Visitor Sign
 To help us maintain the security of the building and safety of the student, all visitors (including parents) are expected to check in at the school office immediately upon entering the school.

Parents dropping off lunches, homework, planners, etc. for their child are asked to leave these items at the office, and we will page your child during the break or when announcements are made.
Abbotsford Traditional Middle School has a closed campus policy. This means that only students who attend ATMS are to be on the school grounds during the school day. It also means that students must remain on school grounds during regular school hours. Students being picked up throughout the day should be met in the school's office. For security reasons, a parent or guardian is required to "sign out" students leaving the campus.


Attendance

Attendance
 Regular attendance is one of the keys to success. Students are expected to be present each day during school hours. If for any reason your child will be absent from school, please notify the office by 8:30 am. For your convenience, we have an answering machine so you can leave a message the night before. Phone number: (604) 850-3511.


Lunch Service

Injuries, Illnesses and the Medical Room

Medical Kit
 If a student is injured he/she or another student should report the accident immediately to a teacher or supervisor. Minor injuries will be looked after in the school office. Provision for injured or sick students will be made in the medical room until he/she feels better or the parent arrives.

When injuries are more serious, parents or the alternate contact will be notified immediately.
Should the student require immediate medical attention and the parent or contact is not available, 911 will be called. In a life threatening situation, 911 will be called immediately.

To reduce the risk to to other students, parents are asked to inform the school should their child have a communicable illness or life threatening medical condition. Parents are also asked to ensure contact information in the office is kept up to date.


Textbooks and Telephones

School Books
 Students are issued the textbooks they will need for the year at no cost. However, students will be billed for lost or damaged books.

Telephones at the school are used for school business and incoming messages.  Students may not use the office telephone except in the case of an emergency. Students must ask permission from the office staff prior to using the telephone.


Lost and Found

Lost-and-Found Box
 Students must take responsibility for their belongings. All personal possessions including clothing, footwear, stationary, and books should be clearly labeled.

The school will not be responsible for lost money, jewelry, or personal possessions. Students should not bring valuable items to school unless they are specifically requested by a teacher. A lost and found box is located near the school office.
