Like all other elementary schools in Burnaby, Ecole Cascade Heights has the “safe arrival program”. This means that if a child is marked absent, but the office has not received a telephone call or an email from the caregivers advising of the absence/tardiness, a phone call home or email will be made to ensure the child is safe. Students are expected to sign-in at the office if they are late (after 8:57am) so we can correct the attendance record.

Attendance emails can be sent to: CascadeHeights.Info@burnabyschools.ca You will receive an auto-reply when you email in your student’s absence. If you do not receive this, your email did not go through.

Please include the following details:
– Child(ren)’s Name(s)
– Teacher/Division
– Dates of the absence and/or the expected time of late arrival
– Reason for Absence

It is important to report your student’s absence to the office, either through email or on the phone at 604-296-9007 ext 2.

Please note that you are required to contact the school each day your child is absent, even if they were reported sick the previous day, unless you indicated a date range that your child will be away in a previous communication. This is for safety purposes. Please let the office know If your child will be absent, late, or picked up early, even if you have already advised the teacher, so that we do not bother you at home/work.
