Principal’s New School Year Update – September 13th, 2024

What a fantastic first week of school! Students and staff have been working diligently to establish the routines that are so vital for a successful school year. It’s been wonderful to see how quickly everyone is settling in and embracing the school spirit. From the moment students step onto the playground, they’re filled with excitement, playing with friends, and enjoying their time outside. The energy is contagious, and it’s clear the children are having a lot of fun reconnecting with one another.

Inside the classrooms, academics are already well underway. Our teachers have begun assessing students to understand their strengths and areas where they can grow. This will allow us to tailor our teaching to meet the needs of every child and ensure that they receive the support necessary for a successful school year. Every day, our students are arriving ready to learn. I want to take a moment to commend our parents for their incredible efforts in preparing their children for school each day—great job parents! Your partnership is vital to their success, and we appreciate everything you do to support their learning journey.

I would also like to encourage parents to stay connected by reaching out to your child’s teacher via email and regularly visiting the teacher websites, which are filled with valuable information, class updates, and important resources. You can easily find these websites on the Parent Zone page of our main website.

Looking ahead, I’m excited to see our community come together again for our Annual Meet the Teacher evening next week. This is a fantastic opportunity to tour the classrooms, meet the staff, and learn about the exciting plans we have in place for the year. Our entire staff will be present to welcome you, and we’re looking forward to sharing more about the curriculum and school programs. At the end of the evening, we will also be hosting a reception, giving parents and staff a chance to connect and build relationships.

I hope you enjoy the photos included in this update, which capture some of the joyful moments from our first week back. Thank you once again for your continued support. Together, we will make this school year one to remember!

POWERSCHOOL – PARENT PORTAL

The Parent Portal is OPEN. The Parent Portal allows parents/guardians to access their child’s current grades, attendance and teachers can share information from their Gradebook with parents. If you have not applied for a Parent Portal account, you can do so from the ParentZone page. If you have any questions, please contact Linda at powerschool@stccs.ca.

FRONT OFFICE

PUFFERS / EPI-PENS / MEDICATIONS: If your child has an asthma puffer or an epi-pen or any other medication that needs to be here at school and is outlined on your child’s Medical Form, please ensure that you send your child with that puffer/epi-pen/other medication. Epi-pens MUST be always carried by the child in a fanny-pack/cross-body pack during his/her time at school; there are no exceptions. Asthma puffers must either be carried on the child in a fanny-pack/cross-body pack during his/her time at school or be left in the Front Office Medical Cupboard to be kept here during the school year should your child need to have it administered at some point. Puffers/epi-pens/other medications should not be held in backpacks/lockers/desks because should the medication be needed in an emergency; all school staff must have quick knowledge of whereabouts and access (on person or in Front Office) to your child’s medication for quick administration. If you would like to have an extra puffer/epi-pen at school for your child over and above what they are carrying on their person in their fanny-pack/cross-body pack, you are welcome to keep an extra here in the Front Office Medical Cabinet. There are times when fanny-packs/cross-body packs for puffers and epi-pens are forgotten at home or taken off at school and misplaced, and having a back-up in the Front Office Medical Cabinet can be lifesaving.

Should your child need medication administered at random times during the school year (anti-biotics for example), medications are to be brought to the Front Office by a parent/guardian, the child’s Medical Form is to be noted by a parent/guardian, and the Front Office will administer the medication as per the instructions left. Children should not have any oral medications (for example Tylenol, Advil, anti-biotics, medicinal throat lozenges, etc.) on their person or in their backpacks/lockers/desks; these medications should be brought to the Front Office to be administered.

HOW DOES THE CHILD ABUSE REGISTRY CHECK PROCESS WORK? When the school year begins, if you plan to volunteer with our school, it is the policy of the archdiocese that all volunteers have a cleared Child Abuse Registry Check (CARC) on file with our school. Families must apply each school year at St. Charles Catholic School; there is no cost to you. You must submit a CARC application complete with current and valid IDs to the Front Office if you plan to volunteer with us; there are no exceptions. Applications are collected, reviewed, and verified in the Front Office by Ms. Jaremowich and then the bulk of the applications are submitted to the CAR office in downtown Winnipeg some time in October, with the trailing submissions sent after that as they come into the Front Office. The process for the CAR office to do their checks and verifying takes anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks. Once the applications with them are completed, they are returned to us here at SCCS. Once the cleared applications are back at SCCS, a list of cleared and eligible parents is made, and those parents are now permitted to volunteer with us. If you are a new parent here at our school, you are unable to volunteer with us until your CARC is submitted, processed, cleared, returned, and on file with the Front Office. Existing families who have cleared CARC on file with us from the previous school year and a new CARC application submitted for the current school year, are able to volunteer right away as there is a short time of carry over from one school year to the next. It is important to submit your CARC application as soon as possible at the beginning of each school year so as not to delay your volunteering efforts.

CARC APPLICATIONS WERE already SENT HOME WITH all STUDENTS THIS WEEK.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6:

This passage speaks to the trust and faith required as students and staff adjust to the newness of a school year and learn to navigate their way through new experiences, trusting that God will guide them. Thank you for trusting SCCS with your child’s education!

Have a great weekend!

CELL PHONE USE IN SCHOOLS

The Manitoba Government and the Minister of Education and Early Childhood Learning have introduced new guidelines for cell phone use in schools, effective September 1, 2024, stating: “Manitoba students have the right to learn in environments with limited distractions and where the potential harmful impacts of online platforms and cell phone use are minimized. Students in Kindergarten to Grade 8 are banned from using cell phones during school hours inclusive of breaks and lunch.”

At St. Charles, cell phones are prohibited at all times. If a student brings a phone to school, they will be instructed by their teacher to store it either in their backpack inside their locker or in a secure location in the classroom. Any violations will be addressed according to our Student Code of Conduct and Standards of Behaviour, which can be found on page 11 of your child’s agenda. Teachers have already reviewed these guidelines and the cell phone policy with students this week.

Principal’s New School Year Update – August 26th, 2024

Dear SCCS Families,

It’s that time of year again! The wonderful summer days of August are coming to an end, and an exciting new school year is just around the corner. I hope you’ve had an amazing summer filled with joy and unforgettable memories.

I am Aneta Prettie, the new principal of SCCS. I am thrilled for this opportunity to lead this amazing community. This is the start of my 20th year serving this wonderful school, and I am very excited to continue in this new capacity. I’m eager to see all our returning SCCS families and to warmly welcome all new families into our school community.

Let’s make this school year a fantastic one, filled with learning, growth, and wonderful experiences together!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Students in Grades 1-8 will begin the school year on Wednesday, September 4th, with a full day of classes. The morning bell will ring at 8:35 AM, and students will be dismissed at 3:25 PM. Kindergarten students and their parents have scheduled meetings with their teacher on the same day, with meeting times already communicated to Kinder parents.

Students are encouraged to bring their school supplies on the first day. Musical instruments can be left at home for now. Parents are welcome to accompany their child into the school on September 4th to help with school supply drop-off. Starting September 5th, we ask parents to drop off and pick up their children outside at their designated doors. Parents entering the school are required to use the main front doors and always check in at the office. Kindergarten parents may drop off their child inside at their classroom door until September 13th, after which they will follow the same protocol as Grades 1-8 parents.

ASSIGNED ENTRANCE AND EXIT DOORS

Each student will be assigned a specific entrance and exit door at school. Please ensure that your child knows which door to use before the first day.

In the morning, between 8:15 AM and 8:35 AM, students can be dropped off at their assigned door for outdoor recess, where a staff member will supervise them until the bell rings at 8:35 AM. If your child arrives after 8:35 AM, please have them use the main front doors to enter the school, as all doors will be locked. At 3:25 PM, students will be dismissed through their assigned doors. Kindergarten students will be dismissed earlier, at 3:15 PM, through the main front doors. Any students not picked up at 3:40 PM will be sent to BASC.

VOLUNTEERS

At the beginning of the school year, Child Abuse Registry Check forms will be sent home for parents to complete. Please ensure these forms are returned to the office once filled out. There is no cost to parents. Without a cleared Child Abuse Registry Check on file, parents will not be able to volunteer in any capacity for the 2024-2025 school year. This protocol is mandated by the Archdiocese of Winnipeg and must be followed by all Catholic schools. There will be many opportunities to volunteer throughout the year so submitting your forms now will ensure you are cleared to volunteer in the classroom and on field trips.

UNIFORMS PICK-UP DAY

Uniform pick-up day is August 29^th from 10am – 4pm.

For any families that made a uniform exchange request prior to August 15th, the exchanges will be available for pick up at the school on August 29th between 10am and 4pm. Any new uniform orders received over summer (prior to August 15th) will also be delivered on that day. You will receive a shipping notice in your inbox if your order has shipped.

BASC (Before and After School Care)

The BASC calendar forms can be found on our school website under the BASC tab in the ParentZone. All schedules and payments are due at the start of the month or before your child attends the program. You can leave completed forms in the white school mailbox outside the front doors or hand them directly to Kim Furutani during drop-off or pick-up. Please ensure forms are submitted promptly. Teachers will be informed daily of which students are attending BASC after school.

BASC operates from 7:00 AM to 8:15 AM each morning, with charges applied accordingly. At 8:15 AM, students in Grades 1-8 will be dismissed outside for school recess. Kindergarten students will remain inside and be taken to their classrooms.

For morning drop-off at BASC, please text 204-880-8245, and Kim Furutani will meet your child at the front door to welcome them into the school. When picking up your child from BASC before 4:00 PM, please text the same number, letting Kim Furutani know who you’re picking up, so your child can be brought to the front doors by a BASC staff member. If you’re picking up after 4:00 PM, you’ll need a fob to enter through the front doors and pick up your child from BASC.

Any students not picked up by 3:40 PM after school will be sent to BASC, and parents will be charged BASC fees from that time until they are picked up. For Early Dismissal Days, students will be dismissed at 2:30 PM and students not picked up at 2:30 PM will be sent to BASC.

BUILDING & GROUNDS UPDATE

We have some exciting news to share about the improvements made to our school building and grounds. Over the summer, we installed a brand-new artificial turf field! This much-needed upgrade will provide our students with a safe and durable space to play during recess and allow our Physical Education classes to move outside when the weather permits.

Additionally, the new boiler system work that began in the spring is nearly complete. The four high efficiency condensing boilers are installed, and contractors are finalizing the work to ensure the school is ready for the cold weather this fall. Finally, several other smaller projects were completed this summer under the supervision of our Maintenance Manager, Nolly Sanchez.

This still applies today with the assistance from some wonderful volunteers from the Winnipeg Police Pipe Band and the St Andrew’s Society Pipe Band. There is no catch, except for keeping the legacy going of Mr. Robert Fraser, our founder.
The band’s website contains more information at https://lsrfmpb.ca/ and the band is on Facebook and Instagram.
I have included the poster below as a .pdf attachment and a brochure for distribution via school newsletter, email, etc.

I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go. (Genesis 28:15)

Update Attachments – Slurpee Truck

News: This morning at SCCS, we had a gasoline smell in our front foyer and the old building. At that time, workers were here working in the boiler room installing the cement pad for our new boilers. Since it was raining heavily outside, they decided to do some cutting of materials in the workroom. The machine they were using caused the gasoline odor to spread in the school. The project manager was contacted immediately, and the situation was rectified. Doors and windows were left open to help the smell disappear. Since the kindergarten classes were on the floor above, they relocated for about an hour while doors and windows were open. They returned to their classrooms at recess time.

For Any Questions

I’m writing to invite you to join the team, Keira’s Krusaders, in support of Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada. We’d love to have you join the national movement to end brain tumours and to honour the memory of a very special girl, Keira Bond.
This year the Brain Tumour Walk is not organizing an event like last year, so this will just be our Keira Krusader Crew walking to honour and remember the remarkable Keira for a good cause. We will be walking together along Sturgeon Creek, a place Keira enjoyed. We will meet at Grant’s Old Mill at 10:00am on Saturday, June 15th and walk along the path.

Join Our Team!
Please share in this experience by joining our team and by helping to raise money for a worthy cause! Just click on this link: Join Keira’s Krusaders .
If you are not interested in joining the team to walk but would like to learn more about Keira or make a donation, click on the link above as well.

Sincerely,
Nancy Froystad

Jesus, help my feet to go. In the way that You will show. Jesus, help my hands to do. All things loving, kind, and true. Jesus, guard me through this day.

Looking forward to seeing some sun this weekend. See you all on Monday.
See you all on Monday.
