Attendance
If your child is leaving early or is being picked up by someone else, please contact the office to let us know. We do need to hear straight from the parent if this is happening. Thank you for your understanding!
Parking
Reminder: The City of Red Deer placed new signs in front of our school. The section out front of our main doors has now been split into three sections. As you pull up, the first section is a City Bus lane with no public parking. The second section is RDCRS specialized bus lane with no public parking between the hours of 8-9am and 2:30-3:30pm. The third section is student drop and go with where drivers must remain in their vehicles. The North Parking Lot, located closest to the Foundations and Blended Program entrance, is designated for guest and parent parking. Some staff will also be required to park in this lot. The South East lot, near the Grade 9 doors, is reserved for staff parking and the bus roundabout—parents are asked not to park in this area. Finally, we ask all families to be mindful of our neighbors by avoiding parking in front of houses or in nearby alleys, as this creates safety concerns.This is especially important on game nights when we have an abundance of visitors parking near the school.
Contact Us!
If you need to reach our office for any reason, please contact our main line at 403-406-7365. This is also the number to call should you need to call in your child's attendance. This number is always available on our website.
A Message from our Athletics Director
All students are reminded to come prepared with a change of clothes, water and proper shoes.
Students with medical conditions such as asthma should be bringing their inhalers to class and are reminded to listen to their bodies and participate safely.
Volleyball:
Parents and guardians with children participating on our volleyball teams,
Thank you for flexibility during this volleyball season. I do realize that this has not been a typical volleyball season and has been condensed due to the strike and time away from school.
Our best efforts have been made to ensure your child has been able to play and practice as much as possible.
Basketball:
COACHES WANTED!
St. Lorenzo is reaching out to our school community recruiting coaches to help with our Junior Basketball teams this upcoming basketball season.
Community coaches must submit a clean criminal record check before they start working with our students. Please see the front office for the paperwork you will need.
You will be partnered with a St. Lorenzo Ruiz staff member working with students from grade 6-8 to develop their love of basketball and their skills in the game.
Commitment would be twice a week and can be flexible.
Please reach out to crystal.streit@rdcrs.ca if you are interested in helping.
