MAKING OUR WORK VISIBLE!
REMEMBRANCE DAY LITURGY OF THE WORD
4D/G and 1H and Father Kris led the school in a beautiful Remembrance Day Liturgy of the Word.
INSIGHT TESTING
Insight is a group-administered test of cognitive abilities, which will be administered to all Grade 4, 7, and 8 classes in EICS in the middle of November. The assessment is designed to measure cognitive abilities including reasoning, comprehension, memory, and visual/auditory processing. Students do not need to study for the Insight and the results do not impact their school grades. The results provide information about students’ cognitive strengths and areas of weakness to best support and program for all learners. For more information, please visit https://canadiantestcentre.com/cognitive/insight/. If you have any questions, please contact your school's Mrs.Mindy Wilcox.
UNDERGROUND SPIRIT DAY FOR STAFF
DRESS FOR THE WEATHER
At St. Patrick School we love getting outside for recess ! We know that fresh air and active play throughout the day is so important for student learning. To ensure your child has a great recess please ensure that they come to school dressed for the weather so they can enjoy their time outside.

If calling during lunch time (12:00 - 12:30) please leave a message and Ms. Miller will return your call as soon as she can.
PARENT VOLUNTEERS
Parents wanting to volunteer at the school or for field trips need to have a Criminal Record Check, Child Intervention Check and sign a Volunteer Confidentiality Undertaking form.
Request forms for these can be picked up at the school office. If you are unsure if you have these documents already completed, you can call the office, and we can check. These checks can take a while to process so if you are wanting to volunteer, please get these done ASAP.
END OF DAY PHONE MESSAGES TO STUDENTS
If you have a message to pass onto your child for end of day arrangements, please call the school office no later than 3:10 pm. It is very difficult to track down a child once they have left the classroom at the end of the school day.
