Principal Message
Dear St. Paul Families, We enter this third week of Advent, joyfully anticipating the coming of Christ and preparing our hearts for Christmas. Next week will also be our final week of school before the Christmas break, and we are excited to celebrate together as a community! We will continue our 12 Days of Christmas activities, wrapping up the fun and festive challenges that students have enjoyed over the past couple of weeks. A huge thank you to Mrs. Cimino and our Leadership Team for making this such an engaging tradition for our students. This Thursday, we will host our annual pancake breakfast, followed by our Cozy St. Paul Christmas, where each homeroom will share a Christmas carol. We look forward to celebrating the joy of the season together in song. Please note:
- Thursday is a full day of school, and Kindergarten will attend Thursday morning.
- Friday is a half day, with dismissal at 12:10 PM as we begin our Christmas break. There will be no school for Kindergarten.
As we enter these last school days of 2025, we are grateful for your ongoing support, partnership, and prayers. We wish your family a peaceful and joyful third week of Advent. Have a wonderful weekend- stay warm! Mrs. Carr-Jeschke & Mrs. McNamee

Inclement Weather
With winter comes all kinds of weather conditions. A reminder that students will go outside for recess if the temperature (with wind chill) is warmer than -20 degrees, as per ECSD policy. Should the temperature fall to -20 or lower, including wind chill, we will move to indoor recess. A reminder that morning supervision begins at 8:05 AM. There is no after school supervision; please let the office know if you are going to be running late so we can ensure students are safe inside during extremely cold weather.
Boxes of Hope
This year's Boxes of Hope are in support of ECSD's Centre for Diverse Learners (CFDL) School. This school houses ECSD's inclusive and Diverse programming. Our last day to collect items will be Thursday, December 18th. Thank you so much for your generous support!
A Cozy St. Paul Christmas
Families and extended families are invited to join us on December 18th at 11:15 AM in the school Gym. Homerooms will be sharing a Christmas Carol with the school community. To honor Kindergarten's end time, they will be preforming first and then will leave the Gym for dismissal. Families are welcome to return after dismissal with their child for the reminder of the performance. For students that are in Out of School Care, Bright Minds has been invited to watch the performances,
