Weekly Events for Sep. 10, 2018
Published on Sep 9, 2018 15:32

Dear Parents,
welcome to the second week of Catholic education here at SJV.  It has been a wonderful week with the children getting settled into routines and transitioning out of summer mode.  It has been a steep learning curve for myself, learning the names of the staff and trying to learn the names of the children.  It is coming slowly but surely.

I will be sending out this weekly "E-Blast" to all parents who have registered their e-mail on the school website.  It is easy to do by just clicking on the link that says "E-NEWSLETTER" on the school Website, (www.smcdsb.on.ca/sjv) and hitting the subscribe button.

Please ask your SJV parent friends and acquaintances to subscribe, if they haven't already.  It allows for timely and virtually cost free communication to the families of our school.

There is not much happening this week, but I just wanted to make note of some upcoming event dates:

Parent Council Meeting Election of Officers: Thursday Sept 20th.( Please fill out a Candidate nomination form, it can be found on the SJV school website under:
OUR SCHOOL > CATHOLIC SCHOOL COUNCIL > Candidate Nomination Form)
Picture Day, Monday Sept. 24
Open House/Pizza Q, Thursday Sept 27
PA day, Friday Sept. 28, (no school for students)

I also wanted to let parents know that because of a drop in student enrolment, there is a potential staffing adjustment for SJV.  If that occurs, it may lead to the restructuring of some classes that could lead to the change of teachers or classrooms for the students.  This is not a certainty, but it is a possibility.  If it does occur, it will happen this coming Friday.  I am presently awaiting direction from the Board Office as to our staffing allotment. This is a common situation that happens in almost every elementary school in Ontario so I just wanted to make you aware of the potential changes.  If there will be no restructure, I will let you know as soon as that is confirmed.  Regardless, the staff here will work to make your child's education their priority.

Have a blessed week!
Yours in faith,
J. Murphy
