We are moving into our second month of school and it is going to be a very busy month indeed! Here is some of the information that all parents should know about as we move into October…
Every week, we post the things that are happening that week on the school website www.standrews.cdsbeo.on.ca. This is a great place to go to get weekly updates about our events and important dates and times. It will be updated every Sunday for the upcoming week. Items on this update are also found in our monthly newsletters and on our Facebook page. We are working on streamlining our communications with parents so that everyone is aware of all upcoming events and is able to take part in all activities. We apologize for any confusion. Please reach out to the school if you have any questions.
Pizza Orders:
There have been some issues with pizza orders this year. In order to rectify this issue, we are extending the October deadline for October pizza orders until Thursday, October 5th at midnight. Our first pizza day this month will be Friday, October 6th because a large number of students will be travelling to Iona for the cross-country run on Thursday, October 5th. If you have already purchased pizza, you do not have to do anything. If you would still like to purchase pizza, you may do so until Thursday, October 5th at midnight. If you are having difficulty accessing School Cash Online, please come to the Open House where we will have a representative who will help you get connected to the site.
Spirit Wear:
Spirit Wear will be available again this year. We will have samples at the Open House. It will be available on School Cash Online from October 10th until November 3rd. Orders will be available for pickup before Christmas.
Food Drive:
Our Social Justice Team is organizing a Thanksgiving Food Drive. Please bring in non-perishable food items to help build a food mountain. We will collect food items until Friday, October 6th.
Open House:
Our Open House will be held this Thursday from 4:30pm to 6:00pm. At the Open House we will have Spirit Wear samples, School Cash Online support, free hot dogs and water, face painting, Catholic School Council, a visit from our local fire department, our Scholastic Book Fair and an opportunity for parents to see what is going on in their child’s classroom. Food is free and you can pay for books at the books fair with cash, credit or debit cards.
As always, if you have any concerns, please reach out to administration for clarification and support.
