Important Information

2024/2025 Kindergarten:
We have had a great time meeting and interviewing potential Kindergarten families for next year. We have had a lot of interest and are hoping to have two classes of kindergarten next year! If you have any friends or family looking for kindergarten for the coming school year, please encourage them to apply soon!

Valentine’s Day Reminders:
As Valentine’s Day falls on Ash Wednesday, we will be celebrating Valentine’s Day on Tuesday. Students are invited to dress down in Valentine’s Day colours and accessories. No collection will happen this day. A reminder that any treats that come to school for Valentine’s Day must be approved the classroom teacher first and must be nut free. We have several students with severe allergies, so we ask that you please send the ingredient list (or take a photo of the ingredients) to the teacher ahead of time.

Shrove Tuesday:
As always, we will be having a Shrove Tuesday pancake breakfast hosted by the Knights of Columbus. Students will all receive pancakes. If your child has any allergies, please feel free to send your own pancakes to school! Ingredients for the pancakes being served are:
Enriched bleached flour (wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), sugar, dextrose, leavening (baking soda, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate), food starch-modified, salt, soybean oil, egg whites, buttermilk.

Contains: wheat, milk, and eggs.

May contain soy and tree nuts.

Ash Wednesday:
We will be having Ash Wednesday mass at 9:00am. All parents are welcome as always to join us!


Catholic Educators Conference/ Family Day:
Please be reminded that next week is our annual Catholic Educators Conference. There is no school on Thursday and Friday. A reminder as well that Monday is Family Day and there is no school on that day as well.
