NEW WEEKLY NEWSLETTER FORMAT- MAKING OUR WORK VISIBLE!
At St. Patrick School we are commited to continued growth and optimal student learning. Our 4 pillar School Assurance Plan focuses on Faith Intergration, Learners and Learning, Systemic Wellness and Community Engagment. You will notice below that our weekly newsletter's content is divided into the 4 pillars. This keeps us as a school accountable to our plan moving foward and allows us to share with the school community what we are doing as a school to reach our goals.

SAFETY DRILLS
In the next few months as a school we will be practicing our Emergency Drills. This will include 3 practice fire drills, 1 practice lockdown and 1 shelter in place.
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.

Office Reminders
SCHOOL OFFICE HOURS
The office hours are: 8:00 - 3:30 during scheduled school days.
To report an Absence
1. Contact the office

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.
