As another school year ends, we wanted to thank the school staff, the parent community and St. Edward's church for their support in continuing to make St. Cyril school an enriched and fun learning environment where the students can grow in our Catholic faith. We wish you all a great summer with your kids. We also wanted to share with you a checklist of things you may wish to do to ensure you close out your child's school year successfully and have you well positioned for next school year.
-
Check the School's Lost and Found
.
You would be surprised at what you might find that may belong to your child.
- Sign up for Cash Online. Our school uses this system to collect monies from everything from class field trips to Spirit Wear. This system has several benefits, including:
- We reduce our environmental impact by reducing paper forms going home.
- We avoid having our children walk around with cash or cheques that can be lost or misplaced.
- The system makes life easier for parent volunteers by producing reports that we can use to place orders for various things and we can more easily track who has paid for what. Using this system actively makes coordinating activities for your kids much easier for teachers and us parent volunteers.

WELCOME TO KINDERGARTEN NIGHT:
On May 14, Tara Baker and Darlene Saks from the parent council greeted new parents at the CSPC booth. Many parents stopped by the CSPC booth to learn about the council. Bienvenue to the new families! We hope that the 'Frequently Asked Questions' document that you received in your take home bag was helpful. Should you have additional questions to help you prepare for your child's first day of school, feel free to reach out to us by email at:
cspc.stcyril@tcdsb.org!
FINANCE UPDATE:
The St. Cyril Catholic School Foundation is now registered with the Benevity donation platform. Many corporations offer to match donations made with Benevity or United Way - if your company offers such a program this is a good opportunity to donate to our Foundation.
Thanks to your generosity, CSPC has been able to provide support for school buses for class field trips as well as the hatching chicks program.

Wear your St. Cyril t-shirts or hoodies spirit wear to the game or if you don't have any, wear blue/white which are the Argos colours. Closer to the event, we will provide more details including when you will receive your tickets and where/when to arrive at the field. Go Argos!
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE 2019/20 SCHOOL YEAR
The parent council is a small and efficient group of folks that embrace the motto: "
many hands make light work". Below is a list of committees that we are looking to fill in the coming school year.
Research tells us that parental involvement is one of the most significant factors contributing to a child's success in school. If you can't commit to CSPC and the monthly meetings, there are various tasks and support committees that you can help with.
- Communications Committee (Newsletter, website, etc)
- Greening Committee
- Fundraising Committee (Spirit Wear, Pizza Lunches, etc)
- Events Committee (Welcome Fair, Religious Celebrations, Pancake Tuesday)
- Student Education & Wellness Committee (Math Nights, Family Wellness, etc)
Please email us at
cspc.stcyril@tcdsb.org if interested in learning about any of the volunteer opportunities and how you can contribute.
