Immediately following the ceremony, students will head to the classroom to meet their teacher and parents & guests are welcome to enter into the church to find their seat.  We ask parents to remind their guests that although we are in the church to watch a performance, we are still in a place of worship and proper etiquette applies.

FAMILY CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS

Dear Families,

This Christmas season we at St. Bernadette are excited to start a new tradition.

We are inviting all families in the school to bring in a Christmas ornament (bought or handmade) with your family name and the year your family started at St. Bernadette written on it. Families who wish to participate can drop off their ornament to the office anytime.  We will start placing the ornaments on the tree starting the first week of December.

The Family Tree will be located in the alcove between the learning commons and the gym. All ornaments brought in will be displayed every year.

We look forward to seeing all the ornaments and recognizing all the wonderful families we have in our community!

REMINDERS

CHILDREN BORN IN 2014

If you have a child who was born in 2014 and will be attending St. Bernadette School, it’s time to notify the school office so that we can keep a space open for your child. It is very important that we have an accurate numbers of siblings for Kindergarten.

 

SCHOOL CLOSURE

In the event of weather conditions, or unforeseen circumstances, the pastor, chairperson and principal will decide whether or not the school will be open on that day. Notice of school closures will be announced on CKNW 980 on the AM dial and posted on the school website when possible. Please do not call the school; it is important that we keep all lines free in case of an emergency.

 

USED UNIFORMS

Used uniforms are needed to help re-stock the shelves for our used uniforms.  If you have any used uniform items to donate, please contact Angeline at:  useduniforms@stbernadette.ca

All proceeds generated from the sales of used uniforms comes directly back to the school.

When one door of happiness closes,

another opens; but we often look so long at the closed door

that we do not see the one

that has been opened for us!!!
