School zones set to begin 30 minutes earlier...

School zones in our city now begin 30 minutes earlier. Speed restrictions will commence at 7:30 a.m. instead of 8:00 a.m.

The changed was approved and put into effect by the City of Calgary in order to protect those students who show up to school early for extracurricular activities such as sports or music practice.

The modified school zone time went into effect as of August 1, 2010 in those areas surrounding year-round schools, however, it will not take effect near traditional schools until the start of the new school year on September 2.

School zones are in effect from 7:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. while playground zones remain in effect from 8:30 a.m. until one hour after sunset.


International Exchange Student Program

The Calgary Catholic School District is seeking caring and nurturing families who are interested in welcoming international students into their homes as a member of their family.

• Do you have an extra private, furnished bedroom?

• Do you have the “time” for a new member of your family?

• Is English the primary language spoken in your home?

• Do you and everyone over 16, living in your home, have a clean police record?

If this describes your situation and you are interested in getting further information,please contact Christina Bosoni – (403) 500-2478 or christina.bosoni@cssd.ab.ca.


Families will receive a monthly fee of $800 for hosting the student.


Eboard

École St. Michael has an eBoard account. It is an on-line cork board where a teacher can post information for students and parents. Teachers use their eBoard tabs in a manner that best reflects their teaching preference for communication. Homework assignments are not necessarily posted. If you have any questions, please contact your child's teacher.

How to use it?

Click here to connect to www.eBoard.com. In the lower left-hand corner of the main page, enter the eBoard name and password for the school. Look for the grade range your child is in and click on that tab. Find the teacher's note and click on his/her name - this will take you inside the note. The postings show up as sticky notes. Select the title of the note to access it.

September 2010 Welcome BBQ!

The Welcome BBQ is scheduled for Thursday, September 23, 2010, 6-8 p.m. This is a totally parent-run event but a great opportunity to meet the teachers and fellow parents. We still need parents to be a part of the organizing committee, as well as during the event. The organizing committee will meet twice (if possible) before school starts in September. If you are interested in helping with the BBQ, please contact the Volunteer Coordinator.



Liturgy Celebrations

The school is supported by St. Michael's Church. (Visit the St. Michael's Church website.)

Celebrations for the 2010/2011 year will be posted in September.
