Principal Message

What another amazing week, here at St. Paul! Our hearts are full as we celebrated Valentine's Day and all things love this past week. Next week will be Random Acts of Kindness week- we look forward to continuing to spread the themes of Valentine's Day throughout the week!

Congratulations to our Soccer Team who participated in the St. Nicholas Tournament on Thursday! Thank you to Mr. Patan and Mrs. Silva-Ludtke for their support of the team in coaching and preparing for the tournament.

We held our Open House this past Wednesday, and we enjoyed a wonderful turn out. A big thank you goes out to our Grade 6 students who volunteered to be school ambassadors on Wednesday night. We received many compliments on how kind, polite and helpful they were. Thank you Grade 6- you make our hearts proud!

Wishing all of our families a wonderful, LONG weekend!

Happy Family Day!

Mrs. Carr-Jeschke & Mrs. McNamee

Pre-Enrolment

Pre-enrolment for the 2025-26 school year is now open for families with students currently enrolled in our schools.

This process is key in helping us understand how many students we will be expecting in September 2025. Your Participation supports the Division in making informed decisions regarding staffing, class sizes and program offerings.

All students in the Division are required to complete the pre-enrolment process whether they are staying with their current school or transitioning into Kindergarten, Junior High or High School.

The pre-enrolment process will run from Monday, February 3 to Friday, March 21, 2025. Log into PowerSchool and select your preferred school for the 2025-26 school year by clicking the "Pre-Enrolment for Next Year" icon.
