Programs and Services
Student support / counselling Rutland Elementary offers a Counselling Service for students who may be experiencing personal crisis, difficulty adapting to the learning environment, significant emotional/social/behaviour concerns, or mental health issues. Elementary counsellors may provide short-term individual counselling, small-group/class lessons (e.g., social skills, bullying, anger management), participate on school-based teams and the School Critical Incidence Response Team (SCIRT), and coordinate referrals/consultation with community providers. The school counsellor listed is Ms. Natalie Rivard.
Transportation, Parking, and Getting Here
School bus transportation is managed by Central Okanagan Public Schools (SD23) Transportation Services, which requires families to submit an online transportation application; only registered riders may ride and no guest riders are permitted. Students are expected to follow bus safety rules (for example: arrive at the stop 10 minutes early, remain seated, keep aisles clear, and cross in front of the bus only when red alternating lights are flashing and the driver signals it is safe). Families should plan safe walking routes to and from bus stops, and parents are responsible for student safety getting to/from and while waiting at the stop. Transportation fees are charged through School Cash Online once a seat is assigned, with payment in full or monthly payments set up within 30 days; subsidies may be available for financial hardship.
Enrollment
Central Okanagan Public Schools (SD23) directs families to enroll by finding their catchment school, watching the enrolment application tutorial, and completing the district’s online enrolment application. The district website lists required documentation (proof of age/citizenship and BC residency/address) to provide to the school after submitting the application, and notes additional steps for some newcomers (e.g., Welcome Centre enrollment code for certain immigration/work-visa/refugee statuses; international students through International Education).
