Hello St. Patrick Fine Arts parents!
We are getting more and more excited to welcome your children back to school for the 22-23 school year. While they are subject to change, you may want to have a sneak peak at the class lists (under School/2022-2023 Class Lists). They will also be posted in the school building on August 31 to help out.
These lists reflect current registrations and we continue to receive more registrations. We are so proud to welcome new families to our school community! Careful consideration goes into the creation of these lists, and requests for changes will not be honoured. Thank you for your understanding in that regard.
You will notice some staff changes for this year. The Creston, BC community is so lucky to welcome Mrs. Jennifer Gardner (former AP and grade 2 teacher) and her family. She will be teaching K/1 there, and will also embark on building a new home in the country. While we will miss her greatly, we wish her all the best in this next life adventure.
As a result, we will soon be hiring a new teacher for our grade 3 classroom. Please pray that we meet the best candidate possible and know that we will do whatever we can to support him or her in preparing for the start of a new school year. Your children are in good hands.
In addition, we welcome Mrs. Teresa Ward to teach both our AM Kindergarten and a 0.5 portion of the 5M classroom subjects. She and her family have relocated from Richmond, BC and will be a high-energy and passionate addition to our school.
Just as the children are feeling many emotions around a return to school, we know the same is there for all of you and for our staff. Change is a blessing - it serves to remind us of all that is possible in a magical place like school led by our love for Jesus.
School for students in grades 1-6 starts on Wednesday, August 31 beginning at 8:38 AM. Southland Transportation has posted routes and stop information on our website under 'Transportation'. Bus transportation should be available for eligible riders on the first day of school.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 403-327-4386 or at
[email protected] anytime.
Blessings,
Mrs. Jones-Husch (Kathy)
