MARK YOUR CALENDARS – AGM – THURSDAY JANUARY 31ST – 6:30PM – 7:30PM

Once again St. Bernadette’s Annual General Meeting is an evening of community building, dialog, and obtaining important information in regards to tuition, school improvements, funding, election of the Parent Support Group, and much more.  Attendance is mandatory for all family.  Every family that attends receives an hour towards their parent participation hours.  Gr. 7 parents who are sending their child to Holy Cross Secondary are exempt this year due to a conflict with the Holy Cross Open House.

Babysitting will be provided.  Please see below for more details.

SEXUALITY AND YOUR CHILD (S&YC) PRESENTATION

On Thursday January 31st, at 7:30pm (immediately following the AGM), St. Bernadette Elementary will be hosting the Sexuality and you Child Presentations for all parents in who have children in grades K-6 (grade 7 parents will have their presentation on a different evening – more information to come).  It is sponsored by the Archdioceses and once again attendance is mandatory.  The evening is part of the Religious Education and Physical and Health Education (PHE) courses for your child.  This night is designed to empower parents to recognize their role as primary educators in faith and truth in human sexuality.

Every session has a separate topic for parents and these topics change from year to year.   Each session is reviewed and updated each year so you can expect a fresh presentation even if you have attended specific sessions previously.  The objective of this evening is for parents to gain confidence in their ability to communicate about sexuality to their children.

FREE BABYSITTING FOR THE AGM AND S&YC EVENING

We will be offering free babysitting to families who need child care during the AGM and S&YC evening.  NO DROP INS – REGISTRATION IS A MUST.

To register please email the school at admin@stbernadette.ca – please give your name, your child(ren)’s name, and their grade(s).
