Office Updates
The school office is currently reviewing all files to ensure we have the correct details for each family.
If any of the following has changed for you or your child's emergency contacts, please let the office know as soon as possible.
- Home address
- Phone number
- Vehicle registration (for those who regularly pick up)
Winter Weather
With the cold days of winter upon us, please remind your child(ren) to wear clothing appropriate for the weather, (i.e. boots, warm jacket, mitts, toques). If weather conditions are reasonable, students will go outside to get some fresh air during recess and lunch breaks.
In the event of inclement weather, such as snow, please monitor your email and the school website - www.stmichaelschool.ca.
You will receive an email by 7:30 AM if the school is closed.
Please do not tie up the school and parish telephone lines by trying to call these offices. If you do not receive an email from the school office, then the school is open.
All emails will be made by 7:30 AM.
As travelling conditions vary depending on where you live, please use your judgment regarding sending your child(ren) to school. The staff, however, will always work to keep the school open when safety is not in question.

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.
