The school hours for John Rennie are 9:00-3:35. With a 15 minute recess break from 10:55-11:10 and a 50 minute lunch break from 12:05-12:55 or 12:55-1:45 depending on the Grade Level.

Our Sport-Etudes students start their school day at 8:05 and finish at 11:55 with a 15 minute recess along with the rest of the school. PED Support is also available for students in the Sport-Etudes Program from 12:55 until 1:45pm.

We have an excellent Guidance department where students can access our two Guidance Councillors, as well as our School Psychologist, and School Nurse. Our Planning Room technician is also available for students who need a different space to write tests and exams.

In addition to this, our resource department is one of the largest in the LBPSB. Support is available for students who have an IEP, and all of our staff meet to review these IEPs at least once per year. All of our Grade 7 teachers review elementary IEPs which are sent to us by the child's Elementary School.

We don't provide a school supplies list before students start school as different teachers will require slightly different items.

Once your child has had their first class in each subject, they will have a clear vision of which materials are required.

All students are assigned a Homeroom, and in Grade 7 and 8 they will take the majority of classes together. Their Homeroom teacher is their Day 1, Period 1 teacher. In Cycle 1 students take almost all their classes in the same hallway, reducing the amount of travelling required around the school (and reducing the stress of getting lost).

Students are also assigned a locker outside of their homeroom so that they can store their books, and belongings. We recommend that students get familiar with using their lock before arriving at school. Locks are available to purchase from the school, or you may supply your own.
