Reminders for the Week
It was so wonderful to welcome everyone back to school! We love the energy in our classrooms, hallways, and school yard and entered into January with a renewed focus on learning and connection! Thank you for your continued support as we continue through 2023!
Spectators at Games
Students that want to attend sporting events as spectators will need to be accompanied by an adult as we do not have supervision.
Winter Walk Day! Let’s see all Bobcat’s Participate! You can do it!
Winter Walk Day is February 1!
Walking and wheeling to and from school is great for the environment and it’s fun even in the winter. Winter Walk Day asks schools to celebrate students who walk to school by holding an event in your school community. STSWR will supply registered schools with walk day event ideas and posters; and all registered schools are entered into a draw for a bike or scooter rack!
All students (JK to Grade 12) can participate and register for a chance to win one of ten $25 Indigo gift cards! Bussed students can walk to their bus stop. Out of bounds students can drive and walk from a few blocks away. Online learners can walk at home. Schools and students can register at the respective links below.

A BIG THANK YOU
Thank you to the families that are walking to school and also to those that are taking extra time to park safely along our streets. We care so much about the safety of our Bobcats and we are happy that you do too!
Bell Time
Our morning bell rings at 8:30 am and it is important for your child(ren) to arrive prior to this time. Supervision on the yard begins at 8:15 am (please do not send students before 8:15 am). Arriving at school on time allows students to experience positive interactions with others and participate more fully in learning activities. As well, it helps reduce classroom interruptions and distractions allowing teachers to focus on teaching lessons to all students. Let’s work together to avoid the last minute rush and eliminate the congestion in our front parking lot in the morning.
Mental Wellbeing Week
Next week, at Christ the King, we will be joining in the conversation for Mental Wellbeing Week. Students will be engaged in activities in their classroom and we will be celebrating Bell Let’s Talk day as well.
| Kindergarten Registration for the 2023-2024 school year will take place on February 7th and 8th. Please see the following flyer for more information and feel free to pass the information onto your neighbours and friends, KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION 2023 Bulletin Letter |
