Parent Volunteers
Parents wanting to volunteer at the school or for field trips need to have a Criminal Record Check, Child Intervention Check and sign a Volunteer Confidentiality Undertaking form.
Request forms for these can be picked up at the school office. If you are unsure if you have these documents already completed you can call the office and we can check. These checks can take a while to process so if you are wanting to volunteer please get these done ASAP.
End of day phone messages to students
If you have a message to pass onto your child for end of day arrangements please call the school office no later than 2:45 pm due to the end of day staggered dismissal times.
It is very difficult to find a child once they have left the classroom at the end of the school day.

Please report student absences to the office or through school messanger.
terry fox run
Dear Parents/Guardians,
This year St. Patrick Catholic School will again be participating in a Terry Fox School Walk to raise awareness and funds in support of the Terry Fox Foundation. This year’s event will take place on Tuesday, September 27th.
We are proud to work with the Foundation towards Terry’s vision of ‘a world without cancer’. We also look forward to encouraging our students to ‘Be like Terry’ by fostering his values of determination, courage, perseverance and compassion.
Setting up a personal fundraising page or contributing to the St. Patrick Catholic School Fundraising page is a simple online process. Please follow the link provided to Sponsor our School or set up your own page.
https://schools.terryfox.ca/6160
All online donations of $20.00 or more are automatically receipted, cutting down on the Foundation’s administrative costs and leaving more funds for life-saving cancer research.
Thank you for your support and consideration,
Alexis Pfeffer
