GENERAL SCHOOL UPDATES
Washroom Concerns
We are asking for the support of our families in reinforcing the importance of respecting our school environment. Unfortunately, we have experienced some incidents of vandalism and inappropriate behaviour in our student washrooms. This includes graffiti, damage to school property, and the misuse of washroom facilities.
These behaviours are unacceptable and do not reflect the values of our Romero community. Our washrooms and all school spaces are shared by everyone, and students are expected to treat them with care and respect.
We want to be clear that vandalism will not be tolerated. Students found responsible will be held accountable, and appropriate consequences will follow.
Please take a moment to speak with your child about personal responsibility, respect for shared spaces, and taking pride in our school. We appreciate your partnership in helping us maintain a safe, welcoming, and respectful environment for all Ravens.
Ravens are always better together!
WELDING UPDATE

ST. OSCAR ROMERO FUNDRAISING SOCIETY
CASINO - FEBRUARY 28 & MARCH 1, 2027
We have a Casino Date! February 28th and March 1st, 2027 at the Starlight Casino in West
Edmonton Mall. We are looking for volunteers - No experience necessary. The Casino
generates funds to support the school. We have just approved funds for chromebooks &
carts, ipads for the art classroom and additional sewing machines for the fashion classroom.
Volunteers will be provided with a meal during their shift. (You must arrive slightly before 11
pm if you would like a meal with the late evening shift).
We are using the SignUp platform to register volunteers, here is the link:
Please note: After you sign up in the link above, you will be emailed a casino volunteer
worker application. Please print it off and fill it out and return it to St. Oscar Romero Catholic
High School Office. If you don’t have access to a printer, the school will have hard copies on
hand. Please take one home per volunteer and fill them out and return to the school office.
Volunteers must fill out a casino volunteer worker form for AGLC prior to the volunteer shift.
Volunteers working more than one shift must hold the same position. Volunteers are not
allowed to gamble in any way at the casino or consume alcohol or drugs during their two-day
event. Photo ID is required for the computer system.
I am confident you will find a shift to help with the various times and positions that are
available. On behalf of the St. Oscar Romero Fundraising Society and I, thank you for
supporting St. Oscar Romero Catholic High School and the students.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me:
