Following some concerns expressed by community members, we have made some changes to ISB’s campus access guidelines. Please see below:
Campus Access:
- The campus will be open to the community from 6.40am to 8.00pm each day.
- Students and community members may enter the school via:
- the front main gate (from 6.40am to 8.00pm each day)
- the back Sarawanville pedestrian gate (from 6.40am to 8.00pm each day)
- the Sports Complex Gate (weekdays from 6:40am to 7:45am and 1:55pm to 6:45pm)
- the ES bike shed gate (weekdays from 6:40am to 8:00am and 12:30pm to 5:00pm)
- the HS bike shed gate (weekdays from 6:40am to 7:45am and 1:45pm to 3:30pm)
- After 8:00pm students and adults may continue to cross the campus to get to and from Nichada and Sarawanville.
- Visitors (non ISB community members) may only use the front main gate – not the Sarawanville pedestrian gate.
- Adults must present ID to enter campus at all times.
- Access times will be adjusted for events that run before and after normal opening hours. For example, events that run past 8:00pm, the campus closing time will be adjusted to 30 minutes after the scheduled end of the event (e.g. Spirit Night).
- All buildings on campus will be secured at 6:00pm (or immediately after the event concludes) and access will only be granted to those personnel assigned to the space. Buildings will be opened at 5:00am on school days for ISB staff access. No student or parent will be allowed to access classrooms, offices, or other teaching spaces without the assigned staff member present.
Campus Use Regulations for Students by Division:
- Any Elementary school student on campus outside of regular school hours, who is not participating in a school sponsored event (taking part or supporting), must be supervised by an adult in charge, appointed by the family. Elementary students are supervised by ISB staff from 7:00am – 2:20pm on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and 7:00am – 2:05pm on Tuesdays.
- Middle School & High School students may use the following designated areas (if available) outside of school hours:
- MS/HS Library (until 4:30pm Monday–Thursday, 3:30pm Friday. Closed Weekends)
- Track, Field D, tennis courts, and Cafeteria (until 6:00pm)
- Auxiliary Gym (until 7:45pm)
- Students may only use other areas of the school for school approved activities with adult supervision, eg. weight room, CC building practice rooms, etc.
Emergency Contact:
- Parents should be aware that no adult supervision is provided outside of school hours and school sponsored activities.
- Point of emergency contact – security guards are stationed at the main gate, front of school, sports complex, athletics area breezeway, and back gate by Sarawanville if needed in the event of an emergency. Except during school holidays, a school nurse is on campus until 8pm on weekdays and at certain weekend hours when events are scheduled.
