Elementary Summer Program registration is now open! Were providing an expanded program for elementary level this year including a four-week transition to secon...dary school course for current Grade 8 students heading to high school in September. The four-week course focuses on the development of knowledge and skills that can help all students achieve success in secondary school and participants will have the opportunity to earn a secondary school Learning Strategies credit towards graduation. All courses will be offered virtually with synchronous teacher-student learning opportunities.

As we come to the end of Catholic Education Week we want to recognize our Special Education Support Staff and honour all the hard work they do to support all of our students, staff and families. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!

Education to the Core

Friday, April 24th is a Professional Activity (PA) Day for all school board staff. The staff of Notre Dame will be fully engaged in learning with a focus on Special Education and Autism so they will be unavailable to their students. Enjoy the weekend everyone!

Lets celebrate our little heroes

Written by a head teacher and too good not to share What if??? If they cancel the rest of the school year, students would miss 2.5 months of educat...ion. Many people are concerned about students falling behind because of this. Yes, they may fall behind when it comes to classroom education... But what if... What if instead of falling behind", this group of kids are ADVANCED because of this? Hear me out... What if they have more empathy, they enjoy family connection, they can be more creative and entertain themselves, they love to read, they love to express themselves in writing. What if they enjoy the simple things, like their own backyard and sitting near a window in the quiet. What if they notice the birds and the dates the different flowers emerge, and the calming renewal of a gentle rain shower? What if this generation are the ones to learn to cook, organize their space, do their laundry, and keep a well run home? What if they learn to stretch a dollar and to live with less? What if they learn to plan shopping trips and meals at home. What if they learn the value of eating together as a family and finding the good to share in the small delights of the everyday? What if they are the ones to place great value on our teachers and educational professionals, librarians, public servants and the previously invisible essential support workers like truck drivers, grocers, cashiers, custodians, logistics, and health care workers and their supporting staff, just to name a few of the millions taking care of us right now while we are sheltered in place? What if among these children, a great leader emerges who had the benefit of a slower pace and a simpler life to truly learn what really matters in this life? What if they are AHEAD?

For those who need assistance and for those who would like to help.

Let's see how many liked and shared we can get

This is important.

Wise words from Mrs Brady: As we embark on our new journey today, remember were in this together. Sending prayers to our students, teachers, parents and fellow staff members. Thinking of you! I truly miss seeing each of your smiling faces every day! Stay safe. Stay healthy. We will see you soon.

From the Board: Dear PVNC families, if you have NOT had an opportunity to complete our Access to Technology Family Survey, were asking all parents/guardians to do so by Friday, April 3 at 9:00 am. Thank you! https://forms.gle/wfbLRMmyEgRCm6h3A

This popped up as one of my memories. Oh how I miss all my little friends from school

Hope this brings a smile to your face:-)

To our Notre Dame families...please consider this during these difficult times.

Good morning everyone. You may have received an email today from School Cash online about pizza orders. At this point I am asking everyone to NOT put in an order for pizza. We will let you know when orders can be placed. If you are reading this would you be so kind as to share this post so we can reach as many of our families as possible. Thanks to all of you and please stay safe!! ****Addendum: Mrs. Coss is working on refunds for pizza orders. Please look for a message from her later this week. Spirit wear will be delivered once we return to school. Take care, Carrie Graham

I hope I get picked!

Keeping our families in our prayers during this difficult time

His Excellency Most Reverend Bishop Miehm has directed that all Catholic parishes cancel public Mass for the faithful this weekend and has granted a dispensation for the faithful from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass. Let us carry in our prayers those who are ill, those who have been impacted by the pandemic, and the care-givers and medical staff.

The Ministry of Education has announced that it will close all publicly funded schools in Ontario between March 14 and April 5, 2020, in response to #COVID19. As a result, all PVNCCDSB schools will be closed during that time.
