Dear Families,
Well, the first week of March has certainly brought us more snow and winter-like weather! As we continue our journey together into the month of March, we are seeing more hours of sunlight as we approach Spring and the season of Easter. This Lent, we hope that our Star family may continue to spend time reflecting on Pope Francis’ words to fast from things that may bring challenge and instead concentrate on caring for our neighbours, loving ourselves, and loving our God.
March Break
This year, March Break will be from March 13th to 17th. Please note that the Extended Day Program will not be running at our school during this time. Enjoy your week together as a family!
St. Aloysius Church Parking Lot
A reminder to all families that the parking lot beside our school belongs to St. Aloysius Church and they are sharing the space with us. Both the church and our school staff have been noticing some significant safety concerns. To this end, we need to share a few reminders:
- The “roadway” in the parking lot is ONE WAY only.
- Please always use extreme caution and drive slowly through the lot – students and parishioners may be walking to/from their vehicles.
- Please park your car in one of the designated parking spaces only. There is no stop and drop area in the lot.
- Please follow the direction of any school staff member wearing a safety vest.
- The front facing spaces closet to the school are closed to parked vehicles before/after school as this is a school bus loading/unloading zone. Please follow the signage in those spaces.
Taking a few extra moments in the morning and after school will help ensure that we work together for the safety of all. Thank you.
Stars Spirit Day
This Friday, March 10th, we will be celebrating an early St. Patrick’s Day at St. Aloysius School! Students and staff are encouraged to wear green and bring their lucky shamrocks! We will also be playing a whole-school bingo game as we head into March Break.
Looking forward to a great week together, Stars!
