ADMINISTRATOR’S MESSAGE
Advent is the time before Christmas when we
prepare our hearts for the coming of Jesus. We
wait in joyful hope for the Nativity of Jesus, our
Lord. The staff and students of St. Francis of
Assisi School will enter into the spirit of the season
by preparing to help those in the community who
require our assistance. As a school community
we have many special activities planned for the
season of Advent; we know that small acts of
kindness can have a big impact and can help to
make a difference in the lives of others. These
special activities also help to remind us of the true
meaning of Christmas.
Our Family Advent Mass will be held on Thursday,
December 3rd at 9:00a.m. at the Church. Parents
and family are welcome to join us in celebrating
the season of hope and preparation for our Lord,
Jesus Christ. We hope to see many parents,
family and friends at the Mass.
The holidays are a time of year to be with family
and friends, a time to rejoice and give thanks for
our many blessings. On behalf of the staff of St.
Francis of Assisi School, may you and your family
have a peaceful and joyous Christmas and a
Happy New Year!
ADVENT PRAYER
Heavenly Father, during Advent, may we
remember the greatest gift ever given: Your
only Son, Jesus Christ. Fill our hearts with
joy day by day as we think of our Savior
putting aside His heavenly glory and coming
among us.
As a newborn, only a stable roof sheltered
Him and ordinary, impoverished parents
cared for Him. Your angels couldn’t contain
themselves, but broke into the quiet
night-watch of a group of humble
shepherds. The heavenly messengers
proclaimed the glorious news of the Savior
who would pay the price for our sins, the
sign of Your goodwill to all men, and Your
desire for peace on earth.
As we prepare to celebrate Christmas, may
we grow in understanding and wonder of His
birth. By Christmas day, may our hearts
overflow with rejoicing and thanksgiving. Let
our gratitude overflow to each person we
meet by demonstrating the peace and
goodwill in our hearts -- not just at this joyful
season but all year long.
VIRTUE OF THE MONTH
Yours sincerely,

In the month of December we will celebrate
the virtue of Hope.
God helps us to keep on working for a
more peaceful world even when we feel
discouraged.
People of Hope, keep up a positive
attitude, can bounce back from tough
situations, set and stick to their goals and
know that Jesus will help us.
SCHOOL NEWS
FAMILY ADVENT MASS
Our Family Advent Mass will be held at St. Francis
of Assisi Church on Thurs. Dec. 3rd at 9:00 a.m.
Please note this date on your calendars. It is a
wonderful way to capture the “true meaning” of
Christmas with your family.
This year families have had the opportunity to sponsor a
family in need in our community during the holiday
season. Christmas morning is a happy time for so many of
us and there is nothing better than giving a gift to someone
else. Thank you to all for helping us make every family’s
Christmas morning a happy and joyful one.
We are still collecting gift certificates for food (Metro,
WalMart, No Frills, Metro) to add to our Christmas gift
baskets. Please call Mrs. Franke at 905-822-3183 for more
information.
A toy can put a smile on a child’s face this Christmas! We
are asking for unwrapped donations of gifts for adults and
for children of all ages. We are gratefully accepting
donations of new toys, games, sports equipment, DVDs
and books, gift cards, food cards, certificates for restaurants,
hair salons and family activities.

DRY FEET, DRY CLOTHING
Colder weather is upon us! Please ensure that your child comes
to school prepared to participate in all activities, including outdoor
recess. All children should have hats, scarves, gloves, warm
coats and boots. As the rainy season gives way to slush and
snow, all students are reminded to bring an extra pair of shoes to
wear indoors during the winter months. Fire regulations dictate
that all students must have footwear on at all times.
In anticipation of a cold and snowy winter, we would also like to
advise parents of children in the primary grades to send an
extra set of clothes (track pants, sweatshirts, socks,
underwear) to school in January. These clothes will be kept
at the school to be used when the child is wet from playing
in the snow.
INDOOR RECESS REQUESTS
Drop off non-perishable food items to the school. What can you
bring? Canned goods (soup, stews, fruit, meat or vegetables),
pasta sauces, pasta, macaroni & cheese, crackers, jam, cheese
spread, mustard, relish, ketchup, tuna, salmon, beans, rice,
cereals, powdered milk, sugar, flour, tea, coffee, hot chocolate,
bottled juices, fruit cups. We are accepting food donations until
December 11th .
In the colder weather we often receive requests to allow children
to remain indoors when they have a cold, flu, etc. Please note
that we cannot comply with these requests, as we have neither
the facilities nor the staff to supervise these students. If you feel
your child is not well enough to go outside, it would be best to
keep your child at home.
REMEMBER: Health officials indicate that
fresh air is beneficial, as long as students
are dressed appropriately.
COLD WEATHER
Children will be kept in at recess if the wind chill equivalent
temperature is between the range of -20 and -25 degrees Celsius or
lower. This is in accordance with the policy of the Dufferin Peel
Catholic District School Board. We will, of course, monitor the
weather situation (such as wind chill and wind speed) on a daily
basis. The safety of our students is always of utmost concern.
We obtain our weather information from the Environment Canada
Weather Information Line and follow School Board guidelines. With
the exception of these occasions, all children will go out for recess
and the lunch break.
WHAT IS SEASONAL INFLUENZA?
Influenza (the flu) is a contagious respiratory illness caused by
Influenza Viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times
can lead to death. Some people, such as older people, young
children, and people with certain health conditions are at high risk
for serious flu complications. The best way to prevent the flu is by
getting vaccinated each year. The flu is spread easily through
coughing, sneezing or through touching contaminated surfaces or
objects like unwashed hands, toys and eating utensils.
BE SMART, GET A HEAD START
Head lice are always present in the community. By
checking your child’s head once a week for head lice, you will
catch it early and treat it before it has a chance to spread. Should
you suspect that your child(ren) have head lice, please notify the
school.
Remember, an infestation of lice is not a reflection on the
cleanliness of your child. In fact, students with appropriate
hygiene habits are as susceptible to lice as any other group. A
reminder to all to refrain from sharing hats at any time, but
especially during the winter months.
The treatment for pediculosis is simple. Specially medicated
shampoo or cream rise is available from your pharmacist.
Carefully follow the manufacturer’s directions and remove all nits
from the hair.
Any infected student will need to be checked before re-entry to
class. Thank you in advance for your co-operation.
Peel Health (www.peelregion.ca/health/) is available to
provide advice to parents, school staff and students about
treatment and prevention. They can be contacted at (905) 7917800.

As a discipline measure when parents and teachers are in
agreement
It is important that children are well-behaved, have parents sign
permission in their agenda, and that they have someone to pick
them up, if transportation is required, at 4:00 p.m. sharp. One
teacher, grade 8 and secondary students will be available if
children require assistance.
If you know of a secondary school student who has time on
Wednesdays and would like to earn their service hours, please
have them contact the school. Our last Homework Club for
2015 will be held on Wednesday December 9th.

During Advent, the Church prepares for the birth of our Saviour. As we prepare externally by
decorating our homes and putting out our Christmas trees, we are also invited to prepare spiritually
by meditating on the wonderful mystery of God's love for us. The Gospel of John informs us that
God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him may not
perish but may have eternal life. (3:16)
May our gratitude for God's gift of love be reflected in the way we live; through our daily prayers,
our participation in the Sacraments of the Church and our charity to all those God has placed in our
lives.

From Your Catholic School Trustee
Sharon Hobin
I am so pleased that Marianne Mazzorato is our new Director of Education Designate. She will become
our Director on January 15, 2016. As you know our current Director John Kostoff will be retiring in the
New Year. John has devoted many years as a teacher, superintendent, Associate Director and Director of
Education for Dufferin-Peel. It is with much gratitude that we wish him well.
Ms. Mazzorato has been a teacher, principal, superintendent, and spent a few years working with the
Ministry of Education in the EQAO department. She brings to us much enthusiasm, a true belief in Catholic
education and a goal to provide the best opportunities for each student. Ms. Mazzorato believes “positive
relationships imbued with trust, confidence and competency increases the likelihood that Dufferin-Peel
will continue to be a vibrant board as evidenced through increased student achievement and well-being,
system morale and well-being, growth and leadership of everyone in the organization and the confidence
of parents, our partners in Catholic education, parishes, and the public at large. Each and every child
deserves our collective commitment to help them succeed in all aspects of their growth, well-being and
development.”
Thank you to all of our schools for the heartwarming tributes to our veterans on November 11th. We
owe a great debt of gratitude to our veterans of all wars and conflicts. We are blessed to live in this
great country and with the events of the last weeks we continue to value freedom and resolve to always
stand for and protect that freedom. My parents were veterans of World War II. So I wear my poppy
with great pride and in remembrance of them.
Thank you to all of our administrators and teachers for their hard work. It shows again and again and as
ever, in our 2015 EQAO scores. And while we can always improve we know that we can be assured that
our students are reaching the goals that have been set for and by us. Each school will continue to
develop their own plans for improvement. Results can be found on our Dufferin-Peel web site.
During this Advent season many of our schools will be taking part in Advent Masses, liturgies, concerts,
breakfasts with Santa and many other activities. I love this time of year in my schools and I encourage
you to attend one or more of these Masses and events. These touching events will bring the true
meaning of Christmas to the forefront in your minds and hearts.
Please consult the Dufferin-Peel web site for minutes of meetings, meeting schedules, current events,
news and more. The web address is www.dpcdsb.org
I wish you a happy and blessed Christmas and the very best for 2016. May God continue to bless us and
to change hearts from evil to good, bringing peace to all.

Geometry
Developing Mindsets that Promote Growth
The ability to identify and describe
shapes, sizes, positions, directions, and
movement is important in many work
situations, such as construction and
design, as well as in creating and
understanding art. Becoming familiar
with shapes and spatial relationships in
their environment will help children
grasp the principles of geometry in
later grades.
What do we mean by “mindset”?
Mindsets are the assumptions and expectations we have for
ourselves and others. These attitudes guide our behavior
and influence our responses to daily events.
- Dr. Robert Brooks
Tips for Fostering a Growth Mindset:
Tip # 3. Set Appropriately High Expectations and Provide
Support
Web Resource: (Intermediate Level)
www.wiredmath.ca
 Expectations should focus on habits, effort, and
growth, not grades.
 Provide your child with other supports (extra help,
additional resources). Don’t assume that “you could
do it easily if you just tried harder.”
Family Math Activity K – 3:
There are many ways to
Big Ideas:
represent a given shape.
Use 20 toothpicks to make 3 shapes. None of the
shapes can use the same number of toothpicks. Talk
to your child about the shapes they made.
 What are the names of the shapes you made?

Why did you decide that those would be good
shapes to make?

Grades 7 & 8: Continuing
the Conversation about
Financial Literacy!
Let’s discuss some factors affecting “Money
Decisions”…
 Ask your child to keep a log for one
week of all the times, instances, or
circumstances that he/she has an
encounter with money (e.g., a bus ride,
buying gum at a store, going to the bank
or ATM, buying an app or music).
 Ask your child to make a list of all the
ways in which money enters into
his/her daily life.
 Discuss with your child his/her money
encounters (e.g., what was the total
value of your money encounters?)
