Welcome Back to School!
I would like to extend a very warm return to our grade 8 students and families, and an enthusiastic welcome to our grade 7's. We are excited to begin the learning process within our school community this year.
On Tuesday, we will have a special schedule providing some additional time in homebase so that teachers can provide students with information about the school year, and distribute a number of forms that we are asking students to bring home to their parents/guardians. Included in this package is a welcoming letter from me.
Our staff met last week for a liturgy and to review directions for the school year, and I had the opportunity to thank a number of people at that time. I would also like to share with our entire community my appreciation of the custodial staff, led by Mr. Joanisse, as well as our office administrators Ms. Mahoney and Ms. Smith, for their extensive work preparing for the start of this year.
Our Welcome BBQ for new students and families last Wednesday was a huge success. The weather was perfect, giving everyone the opportunity to remain outdoors and meet. I'd like to thank our School Council for all their hard work and effort. The first School Council meeting is Tuesday, September 19 at 7 p.m. in Learning Commons 1. I encourage those interested to come out and get involved.
It is exciting to start another school year. One initiative that I will continue will be to keep students, parents and guardians up to date with school news through this blog. There are other modes of communicating with the school found on the welcoming letter from me that your son/daughter will bring home on Tuesday. Please review this and feel free to contact the school anytime.
