All students are required to wear the school uniform. We want the children to develop a sense of pride in their school as well as themselves. Further information is provided with our fee schedule. Transportation
Lee Academy operates a bus programme to accommodate our principal geographical draw areas. Information on the programme and its fees is provided on request. There are no transportation fees for those parents who choose to provide their own transportation for their children. Vacations
School holidays generally coincide with public school holidays. They usually occur at the following times during the school year: two weeks at Christmas and two weeks in March, beginning the second week of March. The school is closed on Thanksgiving, Easter Monday, and Victoria Day. A listing of school holidays is available well in advance of the upcoming academic year. The current year's calendar is available on the website (follow the link or click on the menu on the left). Security
No child may leave the property without parental permission. To ensure a safe, comfortable environment at Lee Academy, access to the building during the day is via the main entrance only. Visitors are asked to identify themselves at reception and wear a visitor's tag while in the school. Health
Each child must have a doctor's certificate of good health. A form is supplied upon enrolment and must be completed and provided prior to starting school. All children must be immunized according to the Ontario Ministry of Health regulations. Religion
Lee Academy is nondenominational. Absenteeism
Parents are requested to notify the school if their child is absent on a given day. A note in the child's daily agenda or a phone call from a parent/guardian excuses a student from class. Families wishing to extend their vacations or have their child absent for a long period of time are asked to discuss their plans first with the teacher in charge of their child's programme. Parent Involvement Opportunities
At Lee Academy we believe that it is essential to be involved in and supportive of your child's education. There are many opportunities throughout the year to visit the school, meet the teachers and watch your child perform. Parents are encouraged to accompany us on class trips. Parents wishing to observe or help in the classroom are welcome at any time. All regular volunteers must submit a police record check and sign in and out at our front reception.
