Last year, we started a new reporting program called Schoology for grades 1-4. This year, kindergarten will also be using Schoology for reporting.
All reporting of student progress is done "live" in this program, and as such, parents do not receive paper report cards throughout the year. Live reporting has been common practice in Red Deer Catholic Schools for the last several years.
Teachers use timely and targeted assessments (marks and comments) based on the curriculum outcomes. Teachers will be updating Schoology monthly. We encourage you to log into Schoology and if you are needing any support in this area, please contact your child's teacher.
Watch our Week at a Glance for more updates on Schoology to come!

We’re also looking for Grade 1 parent volunteers to help us execute this hot lunch in November. Please see Loretta Zolinski at the office for steps on completing a criminal check with our RCMP. This is a required step to volunteer at the school and is at no cost to our volunteers. Keep in mind, it takes about one week turnaround time to receive the appropriate documentation from the RCMP station.
If you have questions or would like volunteer, we would love to hear from you! Please contact your lunch committee at: eolrshotlunches@gmail.com. Thank you for supporting the hot lunch initiative.
If you are available on October 20th, our Team may need help picking-up, transporting, and handing out lunches to hungry children. Please contact Priscilla at: eolrshotlunches@gmail.com.

Please order online or submit your hard copy order form with all payment attached to the office at the school.
