Titans Times
WAAG of Sept. 12-16, 2022
New WAAG Name: Introducing the "Titans Times"!
We have changed the name of our weekly WAAG to the "Titans Times", we hope that parents are able to find all the weekly happenings and important information in the weekly newsletter. If there is any information that you are seeking to find out and it's not available please contact Administration and we will help to locate it for you.
Next week will be our FIRST full week of School, we have much fun planned as part of our "Welcome Spirit Week". The students have been encouraged to participate in the fun theme days and there will be a special challenge for the class that has the MOST participation. Mrs. Moylan will also be selling ICE CREAM for $1, the proceeds from the ice cream sales go to our POSITIVE PLAYGROUND fund that buys new fun playground items to play with outdoors.
The new Legal Titans students will be invited to a special lunchtime event next Wednesday where they will get a yummy ice cream sundae! We look forward to getting to know these Titans more!
Blessings for a wonderful week ahead,
Mrs. Lisa Kleparchuk, Principal
Mrs. Sheri Crowston, Vice Principal

Parent Information
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.
New Curriculum
We know you are all aware that there is a new curriculum that is beginning its implementation this 2022-23 school year. Please see below which grade levels and subjects are impacted by this in our school.
Mandatory Implementation:
All K-3 English Language Arts and Literature (ELAL) and Mathematics are implementing the new curriculum this year.
All K-6 classes will have a new Phys Ed and Wellness (PEW) curriculum this fall. This will include components of financial literacy and social-emotional learning
It is important to remember that regardless of the curriculum being taught at Legal School our staff work diligently to meet each student at their own developmental level. While the curriculum is specific to the grade, many concepts are revisited from year to year, allowing students multiple opportunities to master knowledge and skills. As a division, we have approached the introduction of this new curriculum with much preparation, and our teachers will continue to be supported as this year unfolds.
We are committed to delivering all curricula with joy and enthusiasm, creating a wonderful learning atmosphere that is student-centred and grounded in faith.
Should you have any questions about the new curriculum please reach out to Admininstration.
