Week of September 15-19, 2025
Principal Message
Dear St. Paul Families,
We are off to a wonderful start to the school year and are excited about the weeks ahead. This coming Monday, we will be holding our annual Terry Fox Run from 10:30–11:30 AM around the St. Paul and Crestwood school fields. Parents and guardians are warmly invited to come cheer on our students as they run and walk together in support of Terry’s legacy and cancer research.
Later in the week, on Friday, our Kindergarten to Grade 2 students will be walking to the Crestwood Arena to begin their first of three skating mornings. This is always a highlight for our younger students as they build skills, confidence, and joy on the ice.
Thank you for your continued support in helping us create such meaningful learning and community experiences for our students.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. Carr-Jeschke & Mrs. McNamee

ECSD Cross Country Run
We are excited for the Cross Country run that will be taking place on Monday September 22, 2025. All students who have signed up will be bussed to the event.
Parents are responsible for pick up at Rundle Park. Please be there by 4:30 pm or join us to cheer on all of our participants for 3pm!
Nut Free School
A reminder that our school, and each individual classroom is nut free. We have many student and staff allergies in our school. We appreciate your cooperation in keeping every child and adult safe.
Nut free includes not only peanuts, but tree nuts as well- almonds, brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pine nuts, pistachios and walnuts. Nutella is a popular snack, but contains hazelnuts and thus is dangerous for individuals with nut allergies.
Please ensure that if your child has a nut allergy and requires medication that you see Mrs. Lee in the office to fill out the medical forms.
Thank you for your support!
Need to report a student absence? ECSD uses the SchoolMessenger SafeArrival system. Download the app, visit the website, or call in anytime. It's a quick and convenient way to keep your school informed. Find all the details at ecsd.net/reportingabsences.
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!
