Meet the Staff Evening
I would like to thank all of our parents and guardians who joined us for our meet the staff evening last Thursday. It was great sharing our direction for the year with such a large crowd. If there is any information that you require between now and our first set of interviews on November 12, I would encourage you to contact the school. Teachers do not have voice mail at St. Patrick’s; however, our office administrators would be happy to leave a message for you.
School Photo Day
Students will be called down during the day for school photos on Thursday, September 24. There is no need to send money ahead of time, students will receive picture proofs, and parents can make decisions about ordering later on. For helpful hints from Edge Imaging, simply click here:

Homebase T-shirts
Students are encouraged to purchase a homebase t-shirt this week through their homebase teacher. The shirts are worn during intramurals when classes play against each other. We also put them on for our Terry Fox run on October 8. It’s a great opportunity to see all of our classes represented by different colours. The cost of the t-shirts is subsidized by the school and they only cost $5, with some gently used ones selling for $2.
Grade 7 and 8 Math Diagnostic Testing
Our grade 7 and 8 students will all be involved in a diagnostic Math test on Tuesday (7's) and Wednesday (8's) of this week. The students are told that there is absolutely no preparation or study required for the session. This is a baseline test to provide information to the staff regarding the learning process of our students. Most of the information on the test will be a review of concepts learned prior to grade 7.
Student Verification Sheets
Student verification sheets will be sent home on Monday. Please have a look at this important information and make any changes necessary. The forms are due back to the school on Friday, September 25.
Dress-Down Day on Friday
On Friday, for a small donation of $2 which goes to charity, students will be able to wear appropriate non-uniform clothing. This will be mentioned at our Monday Morning Assembly as well as what constitutes appropriate and inappropriate clothing items.
Wishing everyone a great week,
Don Murphy
Principal
