Principal Message

As we head into Spring Break, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for your hard work, dedication, and commitment to our students. This time of year is a wonderful opportunity to pause, reflect, and recharge as we continue our journey of learning and growth.

To our families- enjoy this well deserved break! May it be filled with fun, rest and time with loved ones.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Sporns as her time with us comes to a close- we will miss you very much! We would also like to welcome Mrs. Newell, who will be teaching Grades 1-6 music following Spring Break.

May this Spring Break renew our St. Paul families, and may we return with energy and enthusiasm for the remainder of the school year.

Wishing everyone a safe and blessed break!

Mrs. Carr-Jeschke & Mrs. McNamee

Grade 6 Bottle Drive

Thank you to everyone who volunteered, donated and spread the word- the Grade 6s are proud to announce the bottle drive raised $901.85!! Money raised will go towards Grade 6 year end activities. We appreciate everyone's support so much!

St. Paul School Wellness Dog

Hello, my name is Briga! I am a 6 year old labrador retriever and the newest member of the St. Paul community. I will be at the school a few times a month. I am a certified wellness dog with CAAWLS. As a wellness/therapy dog, my role is to improve the mental health and wellness through my interactions with people. I will provide comfort, support and companionship for students and staff in the school community. I do my best to help reduce stress, anxiety and spread "pawsitivity" around the school. You will see me in the office, visiting classroom and walking the hallways. When you see me, make sure you say hello and give me some pets throughout the school day! Also, I understand if you are nervous, or don't want to meet me- that is fine too! I am very excited to meet everyone in the St. Paul community. If you have any concerns about me meeting your child in the school, please contact the school office.

Student Pick Ups/Drop Offs

When dropping off/picking up students, please use the designated drop off zones. These are 96 Ave (in front of the school) and 145 Street (the west side of the school).

Please DO NOT use the staff parking lot for student drop offs or pick ups. There are a lot of blind spots and staff vehicles, along with Division vehicles, coming in and out of the lot. This creates a very unsafe environment for students to be walking through.

Please choose safety over convenience and use marked cross walks and drop off zones to ensure students arrive safely to and from school.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Mark your calendars for the 3rd Annual Oilers Watch Party Fundraiser!

Have a safe & happy Spring Break!
