SAVE THE DATE - School Council Meeting (Virtual)
This will again be a "Google Meet" virtual meeting in which you can join on your computer (click the virtual meeting link below 5 min prior to meeting)-you will need a phone (with the app) or a computer with camera and mic. We are NOT suggesting joining through phone call as US charges will apply so this is not a recommended option.
All of your children have gmail accounts and have virtual meeting capability through Google Meet so you could use their account to access this meeting.

3 E/N...Great work!
Students in Grade 3 E/N painted ornaments for Rosealta Lodge residents to spread some Christmas cheer. Awesome job!
LIBRARY INFORMATION
Library Classes are in full swing at St.Pat’s!
We follow AHS library protocol and have been very fortunate to have our students signing books out. When books are returned they are in quarantine for 72 hours. This can cause a back log not knowing if students have returned their books.
With that, I’m asking if you could please help your child with remembering to return library books regularly, once a week.
Thank you so much for your help.
