Every Child Matters
SPIN THE WHEEL-VIRTUAL!!
Each month students and staff will be recognized for being positive examples in the classroom and at school. Thank you to all of our students for your participation from your classrooms.
STUDENTS/PARENTS USING 54 AVE AS DROP-OFF/PICK-UP
NO PICK-UP/DROP-OFF FROM STAFF PARKING LOT
Please make alternate plans for pick-up/drop-off location as our Staff parking lot is no longer available as an option. This area has become far too congested in the past and is an extreme OH&S concern. Please look at streets/locations that are close to your child' designated entrance where you can safely guide them.. While we understand that this takes away some convenience, we are more concerned about the safety of your children. Please see the attached pic showing some highlighted safe alternatives considerations for drop-off/pick-up.
Thank you for you attention to this.
AMA SCHOOL PATROL
Please be careful using the crosswalks as our front street (53 Ave) is very busy before and after school.
Thank you for continuing to use alternative, safe locations for pick-up/drop-off.
How our St.Patrick Staff are bringing Joy this school year!

FAMILY WELLNESS CORNER
Empathy
Sometimes the biggest challenge as a parent is to watch your child suffer and not know how to make it right for them. This feels especially true while we are navigating life alongside Covid, it can feel like there are new challenges daily which increases our stress levels and can feel exhausting. However, our job as parents isn’t to always fix things, but to be with them to hold space for their feelings. When we express empathy with our children, we validate the reality of their experience- we send a message that their way of thinking is important to us. Holding space for their feelings creates security and connection!
