THANKSGIVING PRAYER
This Thanksgiving let those of us
who have much and those who
have little gather at the
welcoming table of the Lord.
At this blessed feast, may rich and
poor alike remember that we are
called to serve one another and
to walk together in God's
gracious world.
With thankful hearts we praise our
God who like a loving parent
denies us no good thing.
Amen
From the Office….
AFTER SCHOOL ARRANGEMENTS If your child’s pick up schedule has changed please let the classroom
teacher know by sending a note or adding it to the agenda. As you can appreciate, the office is a very
busy place and at times we cannot always respond to late day messages or phone calls. To ensure that
your child is notified of any changes to your schedules please send a note or call early in the school day.
VISITORS TO THE SCHOOL All visitors, including parents and former students must check in at the main office
before proceeding to any other area of the school. If you are dropping off a lunch for your child, please
leave it at the table by the entrance where there are pens and labels available for identification. We thank
the school community for dropping off lunches at the 11:45 am bell, to limit the amount of doorbell
interruptions to the office. If you are picking up your child early, the best practice is to send a note to the
teacher with the time for your child to come to the office, this way we avoid interrupting the classes. Please
report to the office and sign them out.
RUN FOR RUTH
On Thursday, December 27, 2013 the St. Julia community suffered a great loss. Ruth Katelyn Cruz, a grade
4 student at St. Julia passed away after a long and hard fought battle against a brain tumour. In memory of
Ruth Katelyn Cruz, we hold our annual Run for Ruth in October. This year it will be held on Friday, October 9,
2015. The day will begin with a school gathering around the Peace Garden for a beautiful liturgy. Throughout
the day, each class will walk or run around the neighbourhood, showing their support for such an important
cause. We are asking students to donate a toonie. The Cruz family has asked that all proceeds raised be
donated to The Make a Wish Foundation & Share Life. We look forward to a successful Run for Ruth 2015.
MISSED WORK DUE TO ABSENCES
When children are absent from school they miss important lessons and work that extends from these
teachings. If a child is absent due to illness we kindly request that children get the needed rest they require
so they can come back to school healthy. The teachers will not be sending daily work home for your
son/daughter to “catch up”. They will spend time assisting students on their return to school. If your
son/daughter is absent due to extended illness, please contact Mrs. Nichols to discuss some available
options.
ILLNESS
Children who come to school are expected to participate fully in the class program. This includes taking
recess breaks with the class. If your child needs to remain indoors for recesses a medical note should be
provided.
CROSS COUNTRY
The MBC Family Meet will be held at Terry Fox Park in Brampton (formerly Chinguacousy) on
Friday, October 16th. The DP Board Meet will be held on Oct. 26 at Centennial Park.

Pupil Accommodation Review Policy Public Consultation
The Ministry of Education released the new Pupil Accommodation Review Guideline (PARG) in March 2015. This
guideline sets expectations for all school boards on managing and reviewing underutilized school space,
including potential school closures, and for the greater coordination and sharing of planning related information
between school boards and other community partners.
The guideline requires all school boards in the province to develop or revise Pupil Accommodation Review
Policies and to invite public input into the policy before it is finalized.
A survey to collect feedback on the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board’s draft amended Policy 6.51 Pupil
Accommodation Review will be available for review and comment on the Board’s website at www.dpcdsb.org
until 4:30 pm on Friday, October 16, 2015. Supporting documents will also be available for reference and review.
Please consider reviewing and providing input on this policy.
