"LENT A HAND" FUNDRAISER

St. Patrick School is looking to "Lent a Hand" this Lenten season by raising money for Beacon of Hope which supports newcomers from Ukraine. Donations of Toonies, Lonnies, and loose change can be sent with your child and collected in the big green buckets in the classroom. Let's start collecting and show our school's giving spirit.

reporting student illness absentee

As you have no doubt been watching and experiencing, Alberta has been suffering from high rates of RSV, Influenza and COVID-19. We want to thank you for making the right choice to keep your children home when they are experiencing symptoms. In order to help us have the best possible data and communicate with Alberta Health Services if required, we would ask that you report any flu or cold like symptom under the FLU heading in the School Messenger App. Please report absences to the office or through the School Messenger App.


Using Safe Arrival, parents can report:

  • FLU - Illness due to flu and cold like symptoms

  • ILL - Other illness or injury.

  • EXC - Parent Excused (i.e taking your child on a holiday)


Thanks for your attention to this matter, as always, we are working hard to ensure that all students and staff remain safe.
