KINDERGARTEN ADMISSIONS

Soon we will be reaching out to the wider community asking for admissions for our 2019-2020 Kindergarten class.  We currently have space in Kindergarten for approximately 8 more students.  We are pretty much full in every other class.  If you know of someone who would benefit from attending St. Bernadette’s, please pass along our website and information so they can fill out an application form.

RE-REGISTRATION PACKAGES

Re-registration packages will be sent home early next week. Re-registration day will take place on Friday, February 1st 8:00am – 7:00pm.  A few changes are in place, you MUST pre-pay the Application fee of $150.00 prior to Tuesday, January 29th through the Munch A Lunch program.

Please ensure that you have all the required documents for re-registration, ie: void cheque (if applicable)post dated tuition cheque  – july .01, 2019, and post-dated cheque June 15,2020 $800.00.

For new students (kindergarten) please make sure that all required documents are included with the registration package, ie:  baptismal certificate, birth certificate, immunization record.

There is a $25.00 fee for individual comfort kits (see attached letter) which must be paid prior to Tuesday, January 29th.

If your child(ren) will not be returning the school year 2019-2020 please advise the office as soon as possible as we have a wait list.

COMMUNICATING STUDENT LEARNING (CSL REPORTS)

The Ministry of Education requires schools to issue 5 formal reports to parents each school year.  At St. Bernadette’s we report out through 2 conferences and 3 written reports.  This year, to align more fully with new curriculum standards and reporting practices, we are modifying our written reports.  There will be 2 summative reports (now known as Communicating Student Learning [CSL] Reports) and 1 formative interim report.  The interim report will be very similar to the summative reports.  The main difference is that the interim report will focus mainly on the core subject areas.

In addition this this, the school will be phasing out letter grades.  Many school are taking the leap to remove them all together this year, however we have decided to do this gradually. Starting this year, only grade 6 and 7 will receive letter grades.  They will be in the areas of Language Arts, Math, Social Studies and Science.  Next year we will not have letter grades in the school.  Many high schools, including Holy Cross, are making similar changes when it comes to letter grades.


REMINDERS

It is not the place, nor the condition,

but the mind alone

that can make

anyone happy or miserable.
