School Closures - Thank you
Thank you for your understanding and support as we navigate the weather systems this week. We appreciate how difficult it can be to re-arrange schedules when the school closes. Please know that the decision is never made lightly. We are looking forward to getting back into the classrooms.
Footwear
All students are asked to wear weather-appropriate shoes or boots to and from school for their time outdoors.
Students also need a pair of black shoes for the classroom AND a pair of non-marking gym shoes (these can be any colour).
These measures keep our students' feet warm and dry when playing outside, and keep the classroom and gym floors clean and dry to avoid slips and falls.
Upcoming Events and Activities
First Confession
First Confession has been postponed until Wednesday, January 24th at 7 PM. Please continue to keep those students receiving this sacrament for the first time in your prayers.
Pyjama Day
The Student Leadership team would like to inform everyone that the theme for the next Non-Uniform Day on Thursday, January 25th is “Pyjama Day”. Dawn comes pretty late and dusk pretty early these days…why not skip the outfit change and just come to school in your pyjamas? Bring a food bank item with you for the St. Michael’s Parish food bank. Thank you for your continued support.
