A new Catholic elementary school is coming to the Riverside South community. The proposed attendance boundary for this new school affects the existing boundaries for St. Jerome and St. Leonard elementary schools. Consequently, the existing boundaries of St. Francis Xavier and St. Mark High Schools will also be affected.  Read the notice about the proposed changes and the consultation process. 

Review the slide presentation from April 24 public consultation meeting.

If you have an in-person parent interview scheduled for this evening, it will revert to an online format. Your child's teacher will reach out to you today about how to connect online.

Parent Safety

We decided to switch to an online format based on the current weather alerts for Ottawa, which include reduced visibility from local blowing snow and the possibility of snow mixed with freezing drizzle, along with ice pellets forecast for later this afternoon and evening.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of Catholic education.

Wednesday November 2nd is Take Our Kids To Work Day. The goal of this program is for all Gr. 9 students to participate by going to a workplace for the day with a parent or other trusted adult to explore the world of careers.

All Gr. 9 students have been provided with a presentation and an information letter and permission form in their Period 1 class this week. We ask that students return their form to their homeroom teacher by Friday, October 28th. For students unable to find a placement, there will be in class activities for them to participate in during their regular classes.

Please note:  This information was emailed out to parents on Thursday October 13th.  The information was emailed out parents again on Tuesday, October 18th.

Letters of Early Intervention

Letters of Early Intervention were sent out by email to parents (students cc-d) last Thursday afternoon (October 13).  These emails were sent from the school account.  An emailed Letter of Early Intervention was sent home if a teacher has a concern for a student's progress in class - so not all parents received emailed letters.  It is possible these emails may have gone to your spam folder, so you may wish to check there as well.

Students may also view any Letters of Intervention they may have received by logging into their my.studentinfo accounts.

Parent-Teacher Interviews

High School parent-teacher interviews will be conducted on Thursday, October 20th.

Interviews from 2:00 - 4:00 pm will be held in person in the gyms at the school.

Interviews from 4:40 - 6:40 pm will be held virtually via Google Meet.  Teachers will email you a link for the Google Meet videoconference the day of the scheduled interview.  Please do not come to the school for interviews during this time period.

Booking for interviews will open up on Friday, October 14th at 3:00 p.m. and close on Wednesday, October 19th at 12:00 p.m.  We are using a new system for booking interviews.  An information doc on how to book interviews was linked in the email to parents.  Please check your email for this information.  

Early Dismissal

We will have an early dismissal this Thursday, October 20th where classes for all grade 7-12 students will end at 1:30pm.  Bus and van transportation will be ready at this time for transportation home.
