Principal's Corner

Dear Parents,

Please join us for the 8th grade graduation Mass at St. Joseph's, on Thursday, 5/16 at 6pm.

What a wonderful turnout there was for the 4th Annual Zarlingo Family Golf Tournament. I'd like to thank all our sponsors for their help and commitment in supporting Catholic education in the Grand Valley.

Thank you to everyone who supported the Gala. This year's Gala made $37,000. These funds will go directly in to our classrooms.

Advisory Council Wants YOU!

What is Advisory Council?

The Advisory Council assists the Principal, when requested, in maintaining good communications between the home, the school and the Board of Directors, by providing a vehicle through which parents can provide service to the school and offering a mechanism for parent education. The Advisory Council also serves as a structure for policy action when needed and for the school. The Council assists in planning and reporting to the parents about activities.

What the Advisory Council is NOT:

The Advisory Council is not a forum to discuss parent-teacher-student issues. The Council does not have responsibility for discipline, curriculum development, approval of instruction materials, and employment of staff, school regulations or grievances.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for a Primary Parent Representative for the Advisory Council. It is a 2 year term.

Interested?

Please email Nicolana Walsh HERE with a paragraph explaining why you should be considered for Advisory Council.
