Last evening, we were thrilled to welcome our students and their families to St. Elizabeth Seton for our Welcome Open House! It was such a wonderful opportunity to come together before the first day of school:

• to meet teachers,
• find classrooms,
• get settled with school supplies,
• reconnect with friends, and
• begin building our SES community.

From Popcorn with the Principal to photo booth fun in the Learning Commons and a special activity to help ease those first-day nerves, there were lots of smiles, laughter, and excitement throughout the school. Most importantly, it was a chance to begin the year together and remind our students that they belong here.

Thank you to all of the families who joined us. We can't wait to see everyone again on the first day of school! 💚💛

You are invited to take a moment to read Mrs. Daniel's Principal Message and learn more about her hopes for our students, our staff, and our St. Elizabeth Seton community.

As we get ready for an exciting new school year, we are pleased to share our updated 2026–2027 St. Elizabeth Seton staff list. We are excited to welcome some new faces to our team and look forward to the gifts, talents, and energy each staff member brings to our school community.

Please take a moment to get to know the wonderful people who will be supporting, encouraging, and learning alongside our students this year!

We are excited to make recess a fun and active part of each school day! Our teachers will have recess bins available for students, filled with a variety of equipment that can be shared and enjoyed by everyone.

To help create a positive, inclusive, and fair play experience, we ask that toys, sports equipment, and other personal play items remain at home.

Having shared equipment available helps ensure that all students have opportunities to join in the fun, play together, and participate in a variety of activities. It also helps us avoid the disappointment that can occur when special items from home are misplaced or accidentally damaged.

Thank you for helping us create a recess environment where everyone can play, everyone can belong, and everyone can have fun!

Registration for the 2026–2027 school year is still open for students in Kindergarten to Grade 5!

At St. Elizabeth Seton School, we know that one of the best ways to grow a strong school community is through the people who already know and love it; you! Word of mouth is one of the greatest compliments a school can receive.

If you have friends, neighbours, family members, or colleagues who live in the St. Elizabeth Seton catchment area and may be looking for a school for their child, we would be grateful if you would share your experiences and encourage them to learn more about our school.

Together, we can continue to build a welcoming, connected, and vibrant community where children and families feel they belong.

Know a family who may be new to the area or looking for a Kindergarten to Grade 5 school? Help us spread the word; we would love to welcome them to the SES family! 💚💛
