Dear Parents and Guardians,

As principal, I would like to extend a cordial welcome to you and your family for the 2010-2011 school year at St. Leo. The rest of the staff and I look forward to working with you to make this school year as rewarding as possible for your children. You can be assured that we will work diligently within our Catholic School environment to assist you in the learning journey on which we are embarking. The staff has a wonderful year planned for your children with exciting educational activities that will help them grow: their minds, bodies, and souls. As well, together we will pray and celebrate the Catholic faith each day, and work to promote a school community where we live out Jesus’ message of love, respect, and caring for each other.

We welcome back Mr. Dan O’Brien as our full time head custodian, and welcome back Mrs. Kim Clarke to her grade three classroom after completing a maternity leave. Also new on staff is Mrs. Debbie Pierozinski, our Assistant Principal, who will also fill the role as Learning Team Coordinator and Resource Facilitator. We begin the year with much more technology than last September. Each classroom is equipped with a Smartboard, and we are anxious to begin using our wireless netbooks in the upper elementary wing. As well, we plan on taking some new steps with technology as we look ahead to purchasing a camcorder and even getting involved in some video-conferencing.

We are having our Meet the Staff/Parent Information Night on Thursday, September 23rd at 7:00 PM. We hope that you will be able to join us to personally meet your child’s new teacher and find out about the classroom program, expectations, and goals for the upcoming months. Of course, this will be a night for parents only, and not the students. Once again, I welcome you, and I look forward to meeting you personally now that the new school year is underway.

Sincerely,
Brett Mackey
Principal
