Principal’s Pen

• Thank you to all parents and guardians for your

continued efforts in your children’s distance

learning. As we all continue to follow the specific

guidelines and parameters put in place by the

Saskatchewan Government, we recognize the many

challenges you have faced in supporting your children and their education. With one full month of

school remaining, we continue to encourage all students to participate in as many of the activities and

lessons as possible. If there are any concerns or questions please email your child’s teacher

immediately for clarity. Thank you for all of your support as we work together to ensure all students

continue to grow academically during these unprecedented times. Keeping up with reading, writing and

math daily will ensure a smoother transition back to school next year. Kudos to you all for your

dedication to learning, congratulations students who are working as hard as they can in their Google

Classrooms.

• Kudos to our amazing Catholic School Community Council for their continued efforts. Congratulations

on meeting your fundraising goals for this year. Please read the CSCC section below for further

updates and for information on how to order a 2019-2020 school yearbook. Please note the

only way to order a yearbook is online as indicated in the CSCC section of this

newsletter. Thank you to Leanne Duncan (parent) for her efforts with the yearbook, this

tradition is appreciated by our school community.

• A number of families have not completed the pre-registration survey. If you have not, please

As always, if you have a specific concern (such as parents of twins wishing their children to

remain together in the same classroom) please email Mrs. McLean at smclean@gscs.ca with

your specific request by June 15th. No promises are made regarding requests except that all

will be reviewed and considered.

• School Supplies-The school will be purchasing day planners for all students as having consistency in

this area is important so that all students are organized and are as successful as possible. This was a

recent decision and the planners will be one less item for families to purchase. We will again be

offering Schools Start online school supply orders. Supply lists will be available for online ordering next

week. This is optional but might be a preferred option instead of school supply shopping in stores as

the supplies get delivered directly to your door.

Kindergarten Registration - Kindergarten Registrations are still being accepted. Please register as
