Halloween Activities
Students will have the opportunity to dress up in an appropriate costume on Tuesday, October 31st or they may pay $2 to simply dress down. We ask that no masks cover the face (make-up is ok) and no replica weapons be utilized. We are also asking that costumes be culturally sensitive.
Progress Report Cards
Student progress reports will go home this Thursday, November 2nd. These report cards provide an indication of how students are progressing in each of their subject areas. In most cases, there is an indication that students are progressing well, or very well. In cases where students are progressing with difficulty, teachers have indicated a next-step for success. At the school, we meet as an administrative and student services team to review any students that are having some difficulty.
After-School Academic Support
As part of our Student Success plan at St. Patrick’s, we are offering a number of options for after-school support. These programs range from informal homework assistance to numeracy/literacy incentives. Parents/guardians may have already been contacted about their son/daughter participating in an after-school course. If you have any questions, please contact the school.
Saturday Learning Club
The link below describes a new club starting Saturday mornings for ELL students in grades 7-9 or for students needing extra literacy support. If you have any questions about this please contact us at St. Pat's Intermediate and we'll be more than happy to help you out.
From time to time, students participate in experiential learning opportunities...hands'-on experiences in the workplace or in other environments outside the classroom. On Wednesday, a group of students went to Versailles Hair Academy to learn all about the craft of cutting hair and of doing such things as foils and colour application. The students had a great time learning about hair techniques. We are grateful to Versailles for providing this opportunity year after year.
