Rainy Weather and our School Building
Good news!  Even with the recent deluge of rain we received, the inside of our school building remained dry!  This is due to the waterproof seal that was placed alongside the outside of the building this summer.  A big thanks to our painters who provided us with the seal.

Day Camp available October 24, 2025
Friday, October 24, 2025 is a Professional Development Day for our staff. On this date a day camp, run by Mrs. Chavez and Ms. Nardulli is available. The day camp will run between 8:00 am and 3:00 pm. There are limited spaces available for this camp. Stay tuned for an email sign up form to go out on Sunday, October 5, 2025. Thank you!

Halloween and Saint Dress Up Days
Your children are very lucky this year!  Students have the opportunity to dress up TWICE within a week.  This year students can come dressed in a Halloween costume on October 31, 2025.  Please note Halloween costumes must reflect the values of our Catholic school and so, no violent costumes, no weapons, no gore/blood.  Masks can be worn for picture taking only (cannot be worn during the rest of the day).  And, no revealing costumes are permitted.  Students who wear costumes that are not appropriate for an elementary school setting will be asked to change into their regular school uniform.

We are also pleased to announce that students can dress up as their favourite saint or holy hero from the Bible on Monday, November 3, 2025 (in honour of All Saints Day).  More information about these dress up days will be communicated in the coming weeks!

Rain and Colder Weather:
Please remember to send your child to school with a jacket everyday. If it is raining lightly students will be staying outside before the morning bell and during recess and lunch.
