PRINCIPAL’S CHALLENGE – June
GRADE 9 FAREWELL
On Friday June 5 Grade 9 students will enjoy a special outdoor field trip filled with fun and memories. In the evening, we invite all Grade 9 families to join us for Mass at St. Thomas More Church, followed by a reception at the school. This will be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate and honour our Grade 9 students.
STUDENT SAFETY – TRAFFIC
- Both staff parking lots are off-limits for parent drop-off, pick-up, and through-traffic.
- U-turns are not permitted in front of schools.
- Keep traffic moving by pulling away promptly after your child exits the vehicle.
Your children’s safety depends on all of us working together and making responsible choices during busy school times. Thank you for your attention to these important safety measures and for doing your part to support safe and smooth drop-off and pick-up routine. During winter and with challenging road conditions, it is especially important that we all remain vigilant and follow the rules to keep every child safe.
SCHOOL COUNCIL NEWS
SCHOOL COUNCIL NEWS
School Council – Get Involved – next meeting is September 28
Our School Council plays an important role in supporting students, staff, and the overall school community. It’s a great way to stay informed, have a voice, and help shape school initiatives in a positive way. We are currently welcoming interest in the following positions:
Chair
The Chair leads School Council meetings and helps set the agenda in collaboration with the principal. They guide discussions, ensure meetings stay on track, and act as a liaison between parents and school administration. The Chair supports a collaborative, respectful environment and helps move initiatives forward.
Vice Chair
The Vice Chair supports the Chair and steps in when the Chair is unavailable. This role often helps coordinate events or special projects and works closely with other council members to ensure smooth communication and follow-through.
Secretary
The Secretary records meeting minutes and helps distribute them to the school community. They maintain organized records of meetings, motions, and council documents. This role is perfect for someone who is organized and detail-oriented.
Treasurer
The Treasurer oversees the financial aspects of School Council, including tracking income and expenses, providing financial updates at meetings, and ensuring transparency in reporting. They help ensure funds are managed responsibly and in alignment with council decisions.
Serving on School Council is a meaningful way to contribute to our school community, connect with other families, and support enriching experiences for our students. If you’re interested in learning more or putting your name forward, we’d love to hear from you!
We invite all parents and guardians to join us on Monday, September 28 at 6pm for our Annual General Meeting (AGM), where executive positions will be voted in for the upcoming year. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more, ask questions, and get involved in supporting our school community.
We hope to see you there!
Stay Connected!
