SUPERINTENDENT’S ADDRESS - June 2013
Dear Parents and Guardians,
It has been an extreme honour and privilege to have served as the Superintendent for the Mississauga South Family of
Schools for the past four years. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for choosing a Catholic school and entrusting our staff with the gift of providing a Catholic
Education for your children. I have so enjoyed meeting students during my school visits, and through special events such as Athletics, Academic Competitions, Youth Faith
Ambassador Rallies, Diversity and Catholic Education
Conferences to name a few. Over the years, I have been so impressed with student commitment to learning and their contributions to both the school and family of schools. Further, I have witnessed their commitment to faith formation through the various social outreach projects they have supported. Our students have continually modelled our gospel values and will be great advocates for Catholic Education in the 21 st century.
I would like to acknowledge our special staff at each of the 22 elementary and 4 secondary schools in Mississauga South for their continued hard work during the course of the 2012-2013 school year. My sincere thanks and appreciation also goes to our trustees for setting the vision and for ensuring that, through their hard work, commitment and dedication, that the vision is realized. I would specifically like to thank Chair Mario Pascucci and Trustees Sharon Hobin, Peter Ferreira and Bruno Iannicca for their continued advocacy for Catholic education Special thanks must also be extended to the pastors and pastoral teams for their commitment to our school communities and for leading us in the sacraments throughout the year. We have an amazing, dedicated community of staff, trustees, parents/guardians, students, priests ... all of whom have supported the Mississauga South Family of Schools. May God continue to bless us as learners and teachers and in all that we do.
I have had the gift of being in Catholic Education for the past 30 years and have made the decision to retire. I am going to miss working with the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board and Mississauga South Family of Schools. I am confident that our students will continue to strive for excellence, and become responsible Catholic citizens who will serve our community proudly. I will take with me the wonderful memories of the people within our community.
I wish you and your family a future filled with many blessings.
Sincerely,
Cathy Saytar
Superintendent
Mississauga South

Christ always leads us triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere”

We remind the students regularly about safe practices during recess times such as no contact sports, no play fighting, and reporting problems to the teacher rather than taking matters into their own hands.
COPS FOR CANCER

Dehydration can be serious! Students should bring their St.
Raymond reusable drink bottles to school, however they are not to be taken outside in the yard.

When students exit the car in the Kiss N Ride lane, they should use the passenger doors only to exit vehicles this will ensure students will be dropped off on the school sidewalk safely.
Under NO circumstances should vehicles be backing up or going the wrong way or parking. No vehicles are to park in the drive thru lane at any time. Absolutely NO CARS are permitted to drive in the bus lane.
School Kiss & Ride should improve the traffic flow and ultimately create a safer environment for the children.

For the safety of all teachers, students, and vehicles, teachers will only supervise students as they exit the vehicles. Parents may assist their child on exiting the vehicle, but are kindly asked not to park in the Kiss N Ride lane. We thank you for your cooperation with this matter.
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
Any infected student will need to be checked before re-entry to class. Thank you in advance for your co-operation.

It‟s been an amazing year! St. Raymond‟s students, staff and community have worked together to make our school and environmentally friendly place to be.

The Green Team also got a visit from Mrs.
Andonov, who taught them how to prep the milk mats to create mats for Haiti. We learned that it takes 500 milk bags to create 1 mat. This mats last 20 years. So instead of filling up the landfill, why not transform them into something useful. The Green Team would like the community to continue saving milk bags over the summer months .
