Student Attendance In CTR Catholic
Let's start with the basics. Attendance MATTERS!!! It is the biggest obstacle to any student's achievement. While we can offer flexibility and options for your child, regular attendance is the KEY to SUCCESS!
For this school year, our staff is reemphasizing the significance of daily attendance, which is crucial for student success. Homework, Google Classroom, and making up for missed class time do not replace the interactive and engaging teaching and learning experiences that take place during class. Students must be in class daily in order to experience success.

LIVING NATIVITY in Okotoks
Dear Families
As we prepare for Christmas this year, St. James Parish invites you to come and walk through the Town of Bethlehem and meet the Holy Family in this live replica of Christmas Eve.
The Living Nativity will take place on Saturday, December 5th, 2026, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm in the field next to the church parking lot. Admission is free. Donations will be gratefully accepted and given to the local charities. There will be refreshments available for purchase in the church hall. We hope to see you there.
A Continued Thanks to the Centre for Learning at Home!!!!
We must end this newsletter with a heartfelt thank you to all the teachers and staff at The Centre for Learning at Home. Many of our students use the resource of CFL for their academic courses and often for their option courses and the teachers there always go above and beyond for our unique situation. They are flexible, patient and continuously think outside the box to help students succeed. Their support reminds us that we are all in this together, and that there are so many good people willing to help our students meet their potential. Teamwork makes the dream work, and we are proud to work alongside the staff at CFL.
To our CFL teachers. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. You are incredibly special, and your hard work, dedication and kindnesses do not go unnoticed.
