Back to School!
Legal Titans Family welcome back to school. It has been great to settle into classes and have everyone back together at school.
Thank you to all of the parents/guardians who joined us at our Welcome Back event on August 29th! It was so nice to be able to see many of our returning and new families checking out the classrooms and enjoying outdoor activities and having some tasty treats from the food trucks.
On Friday we had a whole school welcome back gathering in the gym to introduce the staff and welcome the 17 new Titans students from our Grade 1-9 classes! We will be honouring these new Titans in a special event later in the month during our "welcome back spirit week"! We are "building your kingdom here" and the Titans family with all of our new students and families and hope everyone feels welcome at Legal School.
Blessings,
Mrs. Lisa Kleparchuk, Principal
Mrs. Sheri Crowston, Vice Principal

Confidence: A Quick Way To Help Your Child Feel It
School is in full swing, which might mean a new school, a new classroom, a new teacher, and new classmates. It can feel overwhelming for students and parents/guardians alike. Using positive words is one way we can support those feeling a little lacklustre in these new environments.
Big Life Journal has created some colourful and cheerful lunch box notes for you to place in your child’s lunch box to help uplift them in the middle of their day.
Parent Café Questionnaire
Parent Café with GSACRD Voice is back! We hope to provide parent and family learning sessions that meet your family’s mental health needs. We would love your feedback on what works for you, what you are interested in learning about, and how we can best support you in attending these sessions. Please take a moment to fill out the following questionnaire (4 questions):

Picture Day is Coming!
NEW Online Payment Portal - RYCOR
Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools is pleased to advise that as of September 2022, families can now view and pay their 2022/2023 school fees through our NEW online payment portal - RYCOR - which is accessible through the Parent Portal. Effective August 31st, SchoolCash online will no longer be available for online payments.
With this transition to the new financial system, when parents log onto the parent portal, the changes appear to be ‘live’ and may not reflect all payments/deposits made to date or all applicable fees. This changeover should be completed on September 15th.
For families with students not receiving Sports or Recreation Academy Programming, we will post the school fees with a target date of September 15th.
We will send a follow-up communication informing parents and guardians once the setup has been completed so that you may proceed with making school fees and other payments.
We thank you for your patience and understanding as we transition to the new system.
