Week at Glance
Halloween
Halloween is just around the corner, and we are excited to bring some festive fun to St. Patrick's Community School on Friday, October 30th! We will be having a fun Halloween Dance after lunch on Friday.
Students are welcome to wear a costume or, if they prefer, black and/or orange clothing. We kindly ask that costumes be comfortable for all-day wear, easy to manage without adult assistance, and appropriate for the school.
While the Division does not have an official policy on costumes, we have a few guidelines to ensure everyone feels safe and included:
No masks as part of costumes, though makeup is allowed as long as students remain identifiable.
Costumes should avoid depictions of violence or anything too revealing.
Fake weapons/props are not permitted.
For our older students, we encourage thoughtful costume choices that promote a safe and inclusive environment. Please keep in mind how costumes may impact others in the building. With so many creative ideas, there are endless ways to dress up in fun and school-appropriate ways!
It is not an expectation that you send snacks or treats. A reminder that anything being brought into the school should be nut-free. We wish everyone a Happy Halloween and safe trick-or-treating!
If your child will be absent, please let us know at spcsattendance@rdcrs.ca
or call 403-343-3238.
All students arriving late must check in at the office for a late slip. A late slip must be given to the classroom teacher upon admittance to class. The doors open at 8:25 a.m. - all students should be going to class by this time. Class begins at 8:35 a.m. It is important that students are in class ready to begin the day with prayer and announcements.
All students leaving the school during school hours must be signed out by a parent at the office.
