SCHOOL BEHAVIOUR MATRIX

This year at St.Pat's we have implemented a School Behaviour Matrix. This matrix was created by students and staff at the end of last school year on how to use our school spaces appropriately and continue to make our school an AMAZING place to learn and grow!

SCHOOL OFFICE REMINDERS

SCHOOL OFFICE HOURS

The office hours are: 8:00 - 3:30 during scheduled school days.

If calling during lunch time (12:00 - 12:30) please leave a message and Ms. Miller will return your call as soon as she can.

Remember to phone and book an appointment if you need to come into the school @ 780-672-2177. To report an absense call the school office or email stps@eics.ab.ca

PARENT VOLUNTEERS

Parents wanting to volunteer at the school or for field trips need to have a Criminal Record Check, Child Intervention Check and sign a Volunteer Confidentiality Undertaking form.

Request forms for these can be picked up at the school office. If you are unsure if you have these documents already completed you can call the office and we can check. These checks can take a while to process so if you are wanting to volunteer please get these done ASAP.

END OF DAY PHONE MESSAGES TO STUDENTS

If you have a message to pass onto your child for end of day arrangements please call the school office no later than 3:10 pm. It is very difficult to track down a child once they have left the classroom at the end of the school day.

PARENT/VISITORS - SCHOOL ACCESS

All visitors to the school must sign in at the office.
