Hello Parents/Guardians…we have had a busy couple of weeks to start the school year!  A huge shout-out to the grade 9s and 12s that participated in the 4th annual Valhalla event…it was a lot of fun!

A few things of note for you:

2. We are experiencing communication issues with our automated phone attendance system.  If you have any questions, please contact our office.  As well, we can assist you in getting connected to your PowerSchool account…it can send you alerts on your phone when your child is missing a class.
3. If your family is interested in purchasing student accident insurance, please click HERE for more information.
4. Please take a moment to read through the HTCSD Fair Notice Brochure…we ensure that student safety is a primary focus in our school and school division.

We will continue to focus on the “Absent Unexcused” (AUs) this school year…we all agree that being in school is important and that academic success will follow…we want to see your sons and daughters in school everyday!  Please remember to call in and excuse all absences (306-693-6744).

Hello Parents/Guardians…as can be imagined, it has been an emotional week at the school. If you are not aware, a former student or ours, Evan Thomas, passed away in the Humboldt Bronco bus accident. We had a vigil on Sunday night and an all-school liturgy on Monday. The healing process will take some time and will be different for everyone. Please keep an eye on your children and let us know if there are any needed supports or information that we should be aware of.

If your child plans on attending Evan’s funeral on Monday in Saskatoon. please contact the office on Friday to make us aware.

A few other notes:

1) Grad 2018 parents – PLEASE NOTE: we have to postpone our grad meeting until the following Sunday, April 22 @ 6pm in the Library…sorry for the short notice…please contact us if that creates any concerns.
2) We have a SADD presentation at the school tomorrow called, A Tribute of Love. It will take place from 11:00 to 12:25.
3) SCC meeting scheduled for Monday, April 16 is cancelled.
4) Mid-semester report cards were mailed out earlier this week…Student/Parent/Teacher Conference evening is scheduled for Wednesday, April 18 from 6:00-8:30 in Sion Hall and the Library…see you there!

That is all for now…take care…God bless…

Good afternoon Vanier parents/guardians!

1)  A friendly reminder to please continue calling in your child’s absences to our main office.  Our school goal centers around minimizing school absences and we saw great results in the first semester.  We reduced the percentage of “Absent Unexcused” to 1.1% from the previous year’s rate of 4%.  We have noticed a climb in this rate for the month of February, thus the reminder.

2)  Our February SCC meeting will be postponed (previously scheduled for Feb. 26) until March 12 @ 7pm…please feel free to join us!

3)  Please spread the word that Vanier’s Grade 8 Open House will be on Tuesday, March 20 @ 7pm…we are excited to meet the next group of students that choose to make Vanier their high school!

4)  Next week is the Winter Break…the school will be closed and will return to regular hours on Monday, February 26…enjoy the time with your children!

As always, contact us if you have any questions.  Keep warm and take care!
