Immaculate Mary,
Mother of Jesus and our Mother,
we believe in your triumphant assumption into
heaven
where the angels and saints acclaim you as Queen.
We join them in praising you
and bless the Lord
who raised you above all creatures.
With them we offer you our devotion and love.
O most loving Virgin Mary,
never was it known
that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help,
or sought your intercession
was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence,
we turn to you, O Mother of mothers,
our Mother.
To you we come,
before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
do not despise our petitions,
but in your mercy hear us and answer us.
Amen.
Message from the Principal
We are now well into the spring season. The long winter
is over and the days are growing warmer. Birds have
returned from the south and there is a sense of
awakening all around us. We have entered into May.
May, the month we celebrate all mothers.
Since the 13th century, the Catholic Church has dedicated the
month of May to the honour of Mary. It is a time of special
prayer and devotion to the Blessed Virgin, the Mother of Jesus.
In Mary, we are provided with a model of grace, modesty and
devotion to God. She is an example of the complete acceptance
of God’s will. Her faith never wavered throughout Jesus' life,
even while watching Him die on the cross when most of the
Apostles ran away.
May provides us with an opportunity to reflect on the
importance of Mary in the life of the Church and in how we are
called to give God a response of faithfulness and stewardship in
our own daily lives. We do not worship Mary, we worship
God. When we honour Mary we are honouring God, by
remembering the role of Mary in the beginning of our salvation.
Devotion to Mary always leads to Jesus Christ! In the hustle
and bustle of our busy lives, we take time this
month to pray the rosary, to pray some of the
beautiful Marian prayers, to ask Mary to
intercede on our behalf and to spend a little time
in her company.
Sacraments
First Communion
First Communion for grade 2 students at St. Brigid School will
take place on Sunday, May 11th at 12:00 pm at St.
Jerome Church.
Confirmation
Confirmation for grade 8 students at St. Brigid School will take
place on Friday June 13th, at 7:00 p.m. at St. Jerome Church.
These are important steps in the spiritual lives of our students.
We ask that you keep them in your prayers. If you
have any questions regarding your child’s sacraments,
please contact the church office at (905) 455-4260.
EASTER MASS
Father Jan will be celebrating our Easter Mass on Thursday
May 8th in the school gymnasium, at 9:30 a.m. As always,
parents and family members are most welcome to join us in this
Eucharistic Celebration.
Virtue of the Month
Acceptance
In May, we celebrate the virtue of
Acceptance. One of the great
wonders of the world we live in is
that no two people are exactly alike.
We may share biological families or
national identity or cultural and
ethnic identity but we are all very
unique and distinct creations. God
breaks the mould every time! It can
also be a challenging fact of life if it
makes us afraid.
Sometimes
differences are scary—especially if
we haven’t learned about or don’t
understand how people are different.
The virtue of acceptance describes
our ability to look at the attitudes
and actions of those around us and
then just stop and consider without
judging them.
The virtue of
acceptance means that we look
beyond what we see - a person’s skin
colour, ethnic background, religion,
age, gender, sexual orientation, and
see a person created and loved by
God. It’s especially important for us
to stop and think if what we are
made uncomfortable by seeing or
hearing others act differently then
we might choose to act.
An accepting person…
 Is friendly and open to all
God’s people, regardless of
age, beliefs, gender, culture
or ability
 Sees the positive traits in
all people even if s/he
disagrees with them
 Avoids judging or
stereotyping others
 Understands that there may
be more than one way to do
things
 Sticks up for the
“underdog”
OUR CATHOLIC SCHOOL
HERITAGE:
Each year, the Catholic community of Ontario engages in a
week-long celebration of the unique identity and distinctive
contributions of Catholic education during Catholic Education
Week. This year’s celebration entitled Catholic Education:
Serving in the love of Christ, is the week of May 4 – 10.
The five sub-themes this year are:
 Serve with faithfulness
 Serve with humility
 Serve with compassion
 Serve with justice
 Serve with joy.
During this week the Catholic community celebrates the unique
and distinctive contribution that Catholic schools make to our
students, our community and our Province. Catholic Education
Week is a welcome opportunity to celebrate the mission of our
Catholic schools as they strive to integrate the Gospel values of
Jesus in every aspect of the school’s life and curriculum.
Catholic Education Week begins on a Sunday to highlight the
partnership that remains the foundation of Catholic education
between our Catholic schools and local Catholic parishes.
Throughout Catholic Education Week, we ask you to reflect on
the significance of Catholic education’s presence and
contribution in our Church, and in our society. We invite all
members of our community, to participate in the celebrations
and activities that will mark the celebration of Catholic
Education Week 2014 in our schools.
What has been the history of Catholic education in the
Dufferin-Peel Region?
Catholic schools were fundamental in the early development of
our region. With the support of local parishes, bishops and
parents, Catholic schools were formed as an expression of a
world view differing from other schools. In 1837 in Mono
Township (Dufferin County), a school was dedicated and
housed at St. Cyprian Church. Later, a log church housed a
local Catholic school at St. Patrick’s in Melanchthon Township.
In 1864, the first formal Catholic school was developed in
Melanchthon Township. In Peel, Catholic schools were formed
well before confederation as an expression of the Catholic
communities developing in our region. A more detailed history
of our Catholic education in our region can be found in the book
entitled Catholic Education in Dufferin-Peel – A Story Worth
Telling.
What is the current number of Catholic schools in DufferinPeel?
While Dufferin-Peel continues to grow throughout the region,
our population as of 2009 was 87,000 students, with an
additional 43,000 adult continuing education learners. Our
board has 261,645 Roman Catholic electors and today, the
board operates 148 schools, 26 secondary school and 122
elementary schools. Our board supports 38 Catholic parishes
in our region. As an employer we have over 10,000 employees
and Dufferin-Peel operates 1,406 buses per day in the region to
transport students to and from school.

Quebec City Trip
Attention tout le monde! The French language lives in
Québec City! From May 12th to 15th, 2014 the
intermediate students will take a trip to this historic
city (the second oldest city in North America). Students
will be enjoying numerous activities such as; a trip to
Montmorency Falls, a tour of Old Quebec and mass at Ste.
Anne de Beaupre Church. This trip will not only help our
students understand that French is a wonderful way to learn
about our neighbours, but as well, provide an opportunity to
learn about our history and experience the Québécois culture.
We wish them a safe and fun filled trip.

Front Foyer Renovation
We are in the process of renovating our front foyer. We are
planning on placing a stone/glass mosaic of the Risen Christ on
the wall facing the front doors. As this is a major endeavour,
we will be asking for community/parent donations to help with
the costs of creating the mosaic. We are looking to raise
between 5,000 and 7,000 dollars. Please note that all money
raised will be used for the mosaic. We would like to thank our
Catholic School Council for their most generous donation. A
Charitable Donation receipt will be issued by the Dufferin-Peel
Catholic School Board for donations of $ 25.00 and over.
Get your Newsletter Delivered Right
to Your Inbox
We’re going to do our bit to help the
environment right here at St. Brigid School!
We’d like to drastically reduce the amount of
paper we use in the form of monthly newsletters
and other notices.
We’re in the process of making it possible for
all of our families to be part of a direct email
notification system. Not only will you be able
to receive your monthly newsletters in a timely
fashion but you’ll be able to receive notification
of other important notices as well (e.g., public
health notices).
Once you sign up we’ll stop distributing hard
copies of newsletters and notices to your
child(ren). And as an added bonus, you’ll never
have to go hunting for a newsletter or
information again…it’ll be a few short mouse
clicks away!
Please complete the following information and
return it to your child’s teacher:

History is Made!
On Sunday April 27th an estimated 80,000 people crowded into
St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City to witness a historic moment,
the canonization of two twentieth century popes – Pope John
XXIII and Pope John Paul II. Both popes changed the face of
the Catholic Church and the world.
Pope John XXIII was pope from 28 October 1958 to his death
in 1963. He was one of the most popular popes of all time. His
gentleness and his simple style earned him the title “Good Pope
John.” Pope John XXIII convened the Second Vatican Council
on October 11, 1962, which addressed relations between the
Roman Catholic Church and the modern world. The Second
Vatican Council changed the face of the Catholic Church by
allowing mass to be celebrated in local languages rather than
Latin and encouraged greater dialogue with people of other
faiths.
Pope John Paul II was born in Poland in 1920. He was Pope
from 16 October 1978 to his death in 2005. Pope John Paul II
was the second longest-serving pope in modern history and was
the first non-Italian since Pope Adrian VI, who died in 1523.
He travelled the globe (129 countries) spreading the Catholic
faith to people of all nations. He significantly improved the
Catholic Church's relations with Judaism, Islam, the Eastern
Orthodox Church, and the Anglican Church. Pope John Paul II
was seen as the key figure in the fall of communism in Eastern
Europe and was an avid supporter of the family.
With Pope Francis, Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI and other
cardinals concelebrate the sainthood ceremony, setting the
stage for an unprecedented occurrence of two living popes
canonizing two of their predecessors. During his homily Pope
Francis stated, “They were priests, bishops and popes of the
20th century. They lived through the tragic events of that
century, but they were not overwhelmed by them.”
End of the Year Mass
The St. Brigid community will celebrate our End of
the Year Mass on Friday June 20th, at St. Jerome
Church. The entire St. Brigid student population will travel to
St. Jerome Church to celebrate the Eucharist with Father Jan.
Mass will begin at 10 a.m. We are looking forward to seeing
many of our community parents, as we come together to give
thanks to God.
Go to www.stopr.ca for
daily bus cancellations or
delays.
Flexible Boundary Policy
Many students attend St. Brigid School under the “Flexible
Boundary policy”. This offers convenience for many parents
who access daycare in the area. Parents who have requested
flexible boundary admittance for their children must be aware
that the policy will be considered on a student-by-student, yearto-year basis taking into account the class size of the students
who are enrolling and the resources available at the school.
While we offer support to all of our students, please understand
that the availability of the flexible boundary policy should never
negatively impact on the class size and school resources.
Parents requesting flex boundaries are asked to do so in writing.
Please feel free to call the school if you have any questions
regarding this policy.
Are You Moving?
We are in the process of planning classes and
staffing for the 2014/2015 school year. If you are planning to
move anytime between now and September 2014, please inform
the school at your earliest possible convenience.
Bullying Prevention Corner
The bullying prevention message for May is
“Bullying is not a normal part of growing up.”
We need to dispel the myth that bullying is just
a normal part of growing up and understand
why it happens. Bullying is a relationship
problem - it is about a sense of entitlement,
power and control. Using bullying behaviours
is not something we outgrow but rather adopt as
a way of interacting with others throughout our
lifespan. Childhood bullying may evolve into
dating violence, gang activity, assault, sexual
harassment, workplace harassment, marital
violence, child abuse and elder abuse (Peplar).
Research demonstrates that by age 24, 60% of
identified bullies have criminal records
(Olweus). Learning how to effectively deal
with feelings of anger and finding positive ways
to feel powerful are proactive steps to changing
or preventing the use of bullying behaviours.
We don’t tend to bully those we consider
worthy. In turn, when someone is bullying
others we must remember to value that person
while helping them deal with their bullying
behaviour.
Tips for parents:
 Learn to recognize warning signs that
your child may be involved in bullying
others.
 Role
model
appropriate
anger
management strategies and effective
apologies for and with your children.
 Don’t label children; deal with the
problem behaviours while maintaining a
child’s sense of worth.
Welcome to Kindergarten
All new junior kindergarten students that will be attending St.
Brigid School in September are invited to join us (along with
their parents) in our Welcome to Kindergarten evening, on

Chess Tournament
On Friday April 25th, St. Brigid sent a primary, junior and
intermediate chess team to the Mississauga Brampton Family
of Schools Chess Tournament, held at St. Gertrude School. Our
teams represented our school admirably demonstrating great
skill,
team
sportsmanship

Safety Notice
Please note that children playing in and around
storm sewers and watercourses, entering storm
sewers through the outfalls, and entering storm
sewers through access covers is dangerous and can
lead to a fatality. Children should be made aware
that:



Water flows in storm sewers and
watercourses are unpredictable and may
change quickly
Tragic falls could take place
Access is restricted and therefore, rescue
attempts are dangerous.
Parents are asked to remind their children to avoid
all storm sewers and watercourses.
Safety Drills
Throughout the year, students and staff participate in fire and
lockdown practices. During these drills students are instructed
on specific procedures to follow. Fire and Lockdown practices
ensure that students are aware of procedures should an actual
emergency occur. These drills help to ensure the safety of all
students, staff, parents and community members that may be
visiting the school.
Intermediate Basketball
Congratulations to both the girls and boys
Intermediate Basketball teams. Both the girls and
boys teams finished second in the family mini tournament and
moved on to compete in the Mississauga Brampton Central
Family of Schools finals at St. Marcellinus S.S. At the Family
finals both teams advanced to the semi-finals, only to lose out.
Both teams played with true team spirit and determination,
displaying great skill. They represented St. Brigid School with
great pride and displayed true sportsmanship. Congratulations
to the boys and their coaches, Mr. Fitzpatrick, and to the girls
and their coaches, Ms. Duliunas and Ms. Mastrangelo. Thank
you to all the parents who supported our team throughout the

interested in becoming a Lunch Time Student Monitor (either
on a full time or part time basis) at St. Brigid School and are
available during the lunch hour, please come into
the school office and fill out an application form.
Safety First when dropping students off at school
The safety of all children and staff must be considered as
paramount at all times when dropping students off at school.
The number of serious incidents related to traffic circulation at
the front of the school and in the Kiss and Ride area during
morning arrival and afternoon dismissal has risen. These
incidents include vehicles entering the site in the wrong
direction, parking and pulling out of no parking zones, parking
in bus lanes, to name a few.
It is imperative that all parents and guardians who drive their
children to school adhere to the traffic circulation plan and
comply with the traffic and parking signage on the site. It is
equally imperative that all drivers follow the direction of staff
managing the traffic circulation on the school site.
Thank you for your consideration and co-operation with this
important matter.
Parking Enforcement
City of Brampton Parking Enforcement officers
have been vigilant in enforcing city parking bylaws in the area around the school. Please be aware of where
you park your vehicle. There are fire hydrants and other No
Parking / No Stopping areas that need to be observed.
DRESS CODE
With the warmer weather upon us, we remind
students that St. Brigid School is committed to
standards of neatness, modesty and good taste.
Students are encouraged to dress modestly at school. We ask
that students not wear: tank tops, muscle shirts, halter-tops,
short tops or short shorts. Furthermore, we remind students that
pants are to be worn around the waist. These requests are
directed more towards our junior and intermediate students. A
little more latitude is given to younger students. T-shirts with
inappropriate or offensive language or pictures are not allowed
at school. Students who wear unacceptable clothing to school
may be asked to telephone their parents to arrange to have a
change of clothing brought to school for them. We thank
parents and students for their cooperation.
Transportation
Eligibility for transportation is determined based on distance
criteria established in Board policy. For Dufferin-Peel Catholic
District School Board, these are:
JK – Grade 1
Grades 2 – 4
Grades 5 – 8
Grades 9 – 12
1.0 kilometre
1.6 kilometres
2.0 kilometres
4.8 kilometres
Please note that vehicles in the Kiss ‘N’ Ride lane should not
be left unattended, as they could be ticketed. Please do not park
in the Kiss ‘N’ Ride Lanes and walk your child to their entry
point. If you wish to walk your child, we request that you park
on the street and escort your child. Cars parked in the Kiss ‘N’
Ride create a very dangerous situation and also impede the flow
of traffic.
Parents of students currently in grade 1, grade 4 and grade 8
should be aware that transportation eligibility status for your
child may change next year as your child moves, respectively,
to grades 2, 5 and 9. As the distance criteria increases at the
noted grade levels, students who are currently eligible for
transportation in grades 1, 4 and 8, may no longer be eligible
for transportation when they move to the next grade level.
When in the Kiss ‘N’ Ride lane, please have your child exit your
vehicle from the passenger side. It is very dangerous to exit out
into the “Drive Through Lane”. Also, we ask that all vehicles
move to the front of the Kiss ‘N’ Ride lane prior to letting out
students. Parents should remain in their vehicles while in the
Kiss ‘N’ Ride lane.
Effective June 1, transportation eligibility information for
2014-2015 will be available on the transportation website. To
confirm the transportation eligibility status for your child for
the 2014-2015 school year, please access our website at
www.stopr.ca. Access the “Am I Eligible for Transportation?”
icon, select 2014-2015 and enter the required address, 20142015 grade level, and program information to obtain the
transportation eligibility status for your child.
Also, please be aware that only vehicles that have a handicap
sign displayed in their vehicle are allowed to park in the
handicap parking spots in the school parking lot. Under no
conditions should vehicles without a handicap sign park in these
designated areas.
We respectfully request your co-operation when driving and
parking on school grounds.
GRADE 8 GRADUATION
The grade 8 graduation will take place on Wednesday June 25th
at 7:00 p.m. in the school gym. A luncheon for the graduates
will take place on Thursday June 26th, at the
Mandarin. Further information will be sent home
to graduate parents as the date approached.
School Day and School Yard Supervision
Please remember that school yard supervision does not begin
until 8:35 a.m. For safety reasons, please do not send your child
to school until then. Our supervisors wear orange vests when
they are in the school yard, so that they can be easily visible to
a child in need. For reasons of safety, students are expected to
go home at the end of the school day, unless supervised by a
parent or staff member for a scheduled school activity.
Lost And Found
Our Lost and Found Box is filling up quickly.
Please have your child check the lost and found
box for any items that may have been misplaced
Criminal Reference Checks/Declaration Forms
In keeping with the Safe Schools Act, all volunteers must have
a Criminal Reference Check. If you have the time or inclination
to be a volunteer, assist with school trips, drive for sports
events, assist with our fundraiser(s), be an active member of
school council-dealing with children in any capacity, please
contact the office for a criminal reference check form, for the
2014-2015 school year and deliver it to Peel Regional Police
Headquarters. The check is free of charge for volunteers, but
will assure the safety of all students at St. Brigid Catholic
School. If you already have a Criminal reference check on file
at the school, please complete the Criminal Offence Declaration
form. Please have your check or declaration completed so you
can continue to be an important and valued member at our
school. Once you receive your criminal check please submit it
to the school.
For the 2014-2015 school year, volunteers without a criminal
reference check will not be allowed to assist with special
lunches, volunteer in the class, or go on excursions. There will
not be any exceptions. So please pick up a form as soon as
possible, from the office so we can continue to have educational
excursions, presentations and special luncheons for our
students, your children.
Visitors to the School
For safety reasons, we are reminding the school community that
it is Board Policy that all visitors, including parents, volunteer
and former students, must come in the front door and report to
the office and sign in. Visitors that sign in will receive a St.
Brigid Visitor sticker. Staff and students look for these
identification stickers when they see someone in our halls who
they do not recognize. If someone does not have a visitor
sticker, the office will be notified. If you are picking up your
child, please report to the office and your child will be brought
to you. At no time should parents be roaming the halls. If your
child is in kindergarten and is late, please sign them in at the
office and we will bring them to their class.
Parents are also requested to remain outside the school yard
during school hours. Remember – to your child you are the
parent…to the other students you are a stranger. We want our
school to be a safe environment for all and your support in this
matter is greatly appreciated.

promptly at 8:50 am. Parents are encouraged to have
their children at school at least five minutes before the bell. Children
who are late must report to the office and sign in. Students who
arrive late for school are missing valuable learning time. Your
cooperation is appreciated.
