Week at a Glance

Thank you for paying the beginning-of-the-year school fees. Just over 65% of our families have made this payment, which greatly helps our School Council plan for the year. We kindly ask that you make this payment as soon as you are able.

Thank you to our families who have completed their Student Update forms in SCHOOL ENGAGE, which is a tab in PowerSchool. We are still missing 160 forms so we ask that you please take a few minutes to complete this task.

If you need to pass along a message to your child, please call the school office at 403-347-7830 before 3:00pm. The office becomes particularly busy after this time, making it difficult to deliver messages before the dismissal bell at 3:17pm

Student safety is our priority. Calling before 3:00pm helps us ensure your child receives your message in time. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

A huge THANK YOU to Cilantro & Chive for their incredible donation of $2373.00 to our School Council from the ice cream sandwich fundraiser in June. We are so grateful to Cilantro & Chive for partnering with our school community and thank you to everyone who supported this delicious fundraiser.

Student Update Forms were sent to families earlier this week through PowerSchool. Please log in to PowerSchool → School Engage to review and submit the form. Families should also check School Fees and Forms to complete any applicable In-Town Transportation/Walking Forms. Middle School families should also complete the Athletics Forms, including the Parent/Guardian Acknowledgement of Athletic Eligibility Form for female students ages 12 and older. The deadline was September 30. WE'RE STILL MISSING 170 FORMS! If you need assistance please email Mme Bouchard (brigitte.bouchard@rdcrs.ca) with your child's full name.

Dear School Families,

This term, our middle school students are excited to launch a brand-new option class called Mini Marché! In this hands-on course, students will learn fiber arts (crochet, knotting) and natural cosmetic formulation while building real-world business skills and practicing oral French. Products created in class will be sold at upcoming school events, with net proceeds donated to local Red Deer charities chosen by our students.

To help stretch our budget and promote sustainability, we are seeking donations of gently used or surplus craft supplies. If you have any of the following items cluttering your craft space, we would gratefully accept them at the front office:

• Yarn: Any skeins or partial skeins of worsted weight yarn (cotton or acrylic).

• Embroidery Floss: Any colors/skeins for friendship bracelets.

• Glass Jars: Clean, small mason jars or baby food jars (with lids) for candles.

• Fabric Scraps: Clean cotton fabric remnants or clean thrifted cotton shirts/sheets for sewing upcycled accessories.

• Crochet Hooks or Knitting Needles: Any size rubber or metal hooks you no longer use.

Nous vous remercions chaleureusement pour votre générosité et votre soutien de nos jeunes entrepreneurs !

Thank you for your generosity and support of our young French Immersion artisans!

Families are invited to register their children for First Eucharist and Confirmation through St. Mary’s Parish. First Eucharist registration offers a choice of Fall (September–January) or Spring (January–May) sessions. Please visit St. Mary’s Parish website for registration details and more information.
