Ms. Chantal Moroney and M. Roderick Rivera, have been awarded the Regional Certificate of Achievement for the 2024 Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence.

Madame Moroney, our Grade 1 French Immersion teacher, was celebrated for her ability to create a positive and individualized classroom environment, inspiring her students through innovative teaching techniques.

Monsieur Rivera, our Grade 3 French Immersion teacher, was recognized for his dedication to tailoring learning experiences to fit each student’s unique needs, fostering a supportive and inclusive classroom.

Their achievements reflect the outstanding dedication and creativity they bring to our school, and we are incredibly proud of their success.

We are excited to be able to provide a hotdog lunch for students and teachers to celebrate the end of an amazing school year! On June 25th students will be receiving a hotdog lunch, this includes one hotdog, a small bag of chips, fruit sauce pouch, and a juicebox. We are thankful to be able to use our nutrition grant to provide this wonderful lunch for students and teachers. Please send any supplemental snack and lunch items your child may need on that day.

As previously announced Ms. Oko's tenure as vice principal at our school will come to a close at the end of June 2024. Ms. Oko has been appointed Principal at Holy Trinity School in Olds. We are immensely grateful for Ms. Oko's presence throughout this school year. As she moves forward, we extend our heartfelt prayers for God's guidance and blessings upon her journey, and we wholeheartedly wish her success and fulfillment in her future role. Congratulations Ms. Oko!.

We are thrilled to announce that Mr. Joel Peterman has been appointed as Vice Principal at École Our Lady of the Rosary School for the upcoming school year. As we look forward to the upcoming school year, we are confident that Mr. Peterman's leadership and commitment to our school's values will greatly benefit our students, staff, and families. Let's join together in giving Mr. Peterman a warm welcome to our École Our Lady of the Rosary family!

As you are aware, our school division currently uses Schoology to report on student progress. Schoology is a live reporting platform that provides parents/guardians with up-to-date evidence of learning for each child. With these advanced features in reporting, our schools no longer provide paper copies of report cards at the end of the year as each family can access student grades conveniently for the current and previous years.

Teachers have been busy inputting assessments and comments in Schoology. We encourage you to log into Schoology as we near the end of the school year. If you are needing more information on Schoology, links to log in, or instructions on how to download the app, please visit our webpage using the following link: Schoology

On the last day of school, parents will receive an end of year letter from the school which will include instructions on how to access Schoology/print a report if desired. As well, K-4 homeroom teachers will email home a certificate of placement.

Please do not hesitate to reach out if you are requiring any support in this area.

Our lost & found is overflowing! Please be sure to check the lost & found for missing items prior to June 24th as we will be packing everything up to donate that day.

With the beautiful spring weather, we have noticed that some families are embracing the opportunity to walk their pets to and from school. As we strive to maintain a safe environment for all our students, we kindly ask for your cooperation regarding pets on school grounds during drop-off and pick-up times.

While we understand the joy and companionship pets bring to families, we must prioritize the safety of our children. If you choose to bring your pets, please ensure they are kept under your control on a leash and are off the playground behind the fence. Additionally, we kindly request that you discourage children from petting the animals, as this presents a liability concern for the pet owner. Your cooperation in adhering to these guidelines will greatly contribute to the well-being of our students. Thank you for your understanding and support in keeping our school community safe.

Registration is now open for the 2024-25 school year. Please click below to view the Parent User Guide, and register. A reminder, if you currently have a child attending Pre-Kindergarten at ÉOLRS, you must still submit a registration form for Kindergarten.
