THANK YOU

  • to all who helped make last night's Pub Night a success from start to finish. A lot of behind-the-scenes action happens for an event like this, and we are grateful to all who organized, worked and attended!

  • to all for continuing to inform us when your children are absent due to illness. We appreciate the promptness of so many - makes our jobs easier!

INFORMATION:

  • Catholic Schools Week is February 13 - 19. There is more information about this in the newsletter, which will be sent out this week. One thing that some students are already excited about is a Talent Show. This is planned for February 16th; depending on regulations at the time, it may be live or virtual.

    • Talent Show auditions will be held the week of February 7th. Your child can sign up outside the Grade 7 classroom. For younger students, please advise their classroom teacher and they will be assisted with the sign-up process.

    • That week we will have our monthly school-led Sunday Mass, as well as several theme dress-up days - please see newsletter and calendar for details.

  • Online Bingo fundraiser will be held on February 18th, in the evening. Further details will be in the newsletter.

REMINDERS:

  • brown envelopes will be going out next week - please send yours back if you haven't already!

  • to minimize the time the children spend outside together in the morning, please drop your child off as close to 8:40 as possible

  • continue to do a daily health screen. Refer to this document for the latest requirements regarding absences, isolation, etc.
