!!!Proposed Bell Schedule Change!!!
It has come to our attention that school starting at 8:54am and ending at 2:59pm is not ideal for children, families, and teachers. We are proposing shifting the bell schedule by one minute in the morning and one minute in the afternoon so that school would begin at 8:55am and end at 3pm. Please let us know if this causes problems for you and your family and we will consider the feedback as we consider our final decision.
Current School Hours/Bell Schedule:
- School begins at 8:54am
- School ends at 2:59pm
New Proposed School Hours/Bell Schedule:
- School begins at 8:55am
- School ends at 3pm
- Drop off and pick up at new classroom for the year begins
- Kindergarten students placed in their classrooms for the year
- First full day Kindergarten (click here for Kindergarten specific start-up information)

Ecole Garibaldi Highlands Elementary
English & French Immersion Kindergarten Gradual Entry Schedule
2024/2025 School Year

Here at Garibaldi Highlands we have a few rules regarding bikes on school property. These rules are intended to keep our students safe while on school grounds. All adults and children on school property during school time as well as during drop off and pick up must follow these following safety rules.
- Bikes MUST be walked at all times on school property, with the exception of the actual roadways in the parking lot and bus loop. There should never be anyone riding any sort of bike on a sidewalk, a walkway, a courtyard, or a crosswalk for any reason.
- Bikes on the roadways MUST follow traffic laws and the flow of traffic. The bus loop must be entered on the same side a car would enter and ridden through in the same direction a car would go, and the parking lot should be ridden through in the same direction as cars drive.
- If a staff member asks you to dismount from your bike for any reason that staff member must be treated in a respectful manner and the direction must be followed.
