A Few Housekeeping Items...

      Hello, Grade 4/5 Families!

  • Thank you to all families who continue to contribute items toward our 'Lenten Food Drive.'  So far our class has collected 91 items and over 3/4 of the class has participated!
  • Our grade 4/5 immersion class received the MOST votes schoolwide for the  STUDENT CHOICE MARCH BREAK DAY which will take place on Monday, March 15th. Here's what this means:

        Students are invited to wear comfy clothes all day (which means no uniform). We will         have a morning of extra gym/outdoor time AND an afternoon of tech. We have                been calling it B.Y.O.T day (bring your own tech day). If students do not have their            own tech to bring, the school can provide a Chromebook. And, the best part of our            day is that our day involves NO SCHOOL WORK. 
  • Mrs. OBrien has asked us to relay the following message to the parents of students who drop off and/or pick up their child(ren):                                                                                                                          Please park at the St. Pius Parking lot and walk over to St. Augustine. 

    Please do not park in the St. Augustine School parking lot unless you have a handicapped sticker, or have special circumstances and have spoken to Mrs. OBrien.

    We totally understand that parking away from the school is not convenient, however, Arnot Road has become increasingly unsafe and we are trying to prevent any injury to students or parents, as well as avoid any car accidents. 

    With the quantity of cars lining the street on both sides, more parents picking children up this year, more people having to socially distance, children crossing the streets, limited space for our buses and cars to drive, etc., we hope you understand why we are asking parents and caregivers to park at St. Pius.
