The Our Lady of Mercy School (OLM) Parish Education Committee (PEC) is a sub-committee of the Board of Directors of the Catholic Independent Schools of Vancouver Archdiocese (CISVA). In collaboration with the School Principal and Parish Pastor, the duties of the PEC are to oversee the general operation of the school and carry out the policies of CISVA at the local level.
All CISVA schools will have a Parent/Guardian Code of Conduct to inform the school community of expected conduct of parents based on the principles of respect for the rights and dignity of all persons to promote a safe and respectful environment within the school community. From time to time, the PEC sees the benefit of a review of a local policy with the parents and the school community as a whole especially if it is related to safety and well-being of the students.
Please review the following rules about school parking lot as well as pick up and drop off guidelines, paying attention to the images and text descriptions. Our main objective is to reinforce the positive habits you already practice and at the same time refresh the minds of other parents and guardians as necessary.

We all value the safety and security of our children while in school. Parents play an important role in this regard and again, have a responsibility to support the efforts of school staff in maintaining a safe and respectful learning environment for all students. Consider practicing safe behavior and driving habits in and around the school and parish parking lot and always
obey signs and regulations of municipal traffic, roadways and private property by-laws. As parents you have committed to follow the Parent Code of Conduct that outlines the minimum standard of behavior expected of ALL parents and/or guardians of students enrolled at Our Lady of Mercy School. Any observed breaches of the Parent Code of Conduct may result
in the following:
- A letter, phone call or meeting with a member of the OLM Parish Education Committee or
Administration
