Administrator’s Message…
May was another busy and exciting month at St. Catherine of Siena. We began the month with
our French Café and the Intermediate Heads Up competition. This was followed by a very
exciting Catholic Education Week, that included our Crowning of Mary celebration, the Joe Sax
festival, our Sounds of Siena show highlighting the many talents of our students, a Hats Off 2
Kids Walk raising over $400 for Sick Kids hospital, and two beautiful Virtue assemblies. The
month also saw us celebrate in the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation
with our grades two and eight students. We also had our Welcome to Kindergarten evening,
welcoming 60 new students and their families to our school. Our Junior Division enjoyed a day
at the movies, watching Rio 2 in 3D. The month ended with our second Movie Night of the
year, when families came together to watch Muppets Most Wanted.
As we come to the end of another school year, we would like to take this opportunity to thank
the many individuals who make St. Catherine of Siena School a very active, engaging, and
safe place to be. This past year has been a very busy and highly successful year for everyone.
The many successes are due to the dynamic and warm relationships that exist at St. Catherine
of Siena School between staff, parents and students. We would especially like to thank the
teachers here at St. Catherine of Siena, who help our students learn the skills to be lifelong
learners and to walk in the light of Christ. Thank you as well to Mrs. Waugh and Mrs. Jones for
their warm and welcoming personalities. Every person who enters through our doors is treated
with dignity and respect. Thank you to Mrs. Paisana, Mrs. Ferko, and Mr. Rebagliatti for
keeping our school looking amazing. Thank you to Mrs. Lotito, Mrs. Omrow, and Mr. Bascombe
for all their work with the Breakfast Club. Thank you to Fr. Lando and his Parish team for
providing the spiritual leadership in our faith journey. Thank you to Bruno Iannicca, our trustee,
for all his support this year and thank you to our superintendent, David Amaral, for always
being there for us. To our graduates, and those students who are moving on, thank you for
enriching us with your presence, and we hope that St. Catherine of Siena will always be a part
of your memories.
We hope that everyone has a safe and restful summer and we look forward to seeing you in
September.
God Bless,
G. Pedroso and R. Scicluna

Virtue of the Month: Fairness
When we spend a lot of time immersed in a variety of
different media – TV, movie, magazine, radio we can
sometimes forget that life is not a competition. We are
made by God to live together, to share and to help
each other. You can’t be a Christian alone.
Christianity is all about living together in community –
ideally, one big happy family. When the urge to be
superior takes over a person’s life then fairness can
go out the window. Fairness, the belief that everyone
deserves an opportunity to succeed, is not always
about making things exactly equal. Some people need
a bit more time, space, money, and support to have
an equal chance to succeed. And they deserve that
chance.
Our Daily Prayer for June:
Let us now pray for the virtue of fairness - the desire
to live by the rules of God’s kingdom everyday of our
lives.
From the perspective of the Catholic Graduate
Expectations, a fair person...



Listens to all sides before forming opinions
Shows good sportsmanship at all times
Refuses to twist rules to avoid consequences
Works to bring about peaceful solutions to
problems
Cheers on the successes of others
Can balance their own rights and
responsibilities with those of others
I do not mean that there should be relief for others
and pressure on you, but it is a question of a fair
balance between your present abundance and their

Year End/Graduation Mass
Graduation Ceremony in Church Hall
First Holy Communion: On Saturday, May 10,
many of our grade 2 students
received Jesus in First Holy
Communion. They were like little
angles, so happy to receive Jesus
in their souls. We pray that as
they continue to grow in their
faith, they will be able to receive
Jesus in Holy Communion every
week. Congratulations!
Confirmation: On Wednesday, May 28, the grade
8 students celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation. It
was a solemn and beautiful ceremony
witnessed by staff, family and friends
who were there to support the
Confirmandi. It is the hope of the
school and the Church that the newly
confirmed will continue to grow in
their faith and use the gifts of the Holy
Spirit bestowed on them. Congratulations to all who took
this first step to adulthood in their faith journey.
Grade 8 Graduates
To our Grade 8 graduates, best
wishes as you leave us to enter high
school. Your accomplishments and
contributions to our school are
appreciated and will be fondly
remembered. Continue to be the
best that you can be, and influence
one another in a most positive way.
We feel very privileged to have crossed your path.
Congratulations from the staff and students of St.
Catherine of Siena Catholic School.
Graduation Ceremony
Grade eight graduation activities will take place on
Thursday, June 24, 2014. Students will leave to Le
Treport Banquet Hall for lunch and a
dance, returning back to the school for 4:30
p.m. The Graduation Ceremony
(certificates, awards, and liturgy) will take
place at the Church Hall beginning at 7:30
p.m. All parents and family are
encouraged to attend the Graduation
Ceremony.
PA Day
A reminder to all parents that Monday,
June 9, 2014 will be a P.A Day for all

Farewell
EQAO Grade 6 Testing
Best wishes to Mrs.
Seetahal who will be
leaving St. Catherine
of Siena to take a
position at St. Gerrad.
The EQAO (Education Quality
and Accountability Office)
testing of our Grade 6 students
is rapidly approaching.
Best wishes to Mr. Thrasher, Mr. Evans, Mr. Vidot, Mr.
Mintz, Ms. Jenkins and Ms. Ciuriak, as they continue in
their careers, providing quality education to the students
they serve. They have successfully filled the roles of
Long Term Occasional teachers for staff members on
various leaves of absences. In totality, their
contributions, both inside the classroom and in the
various activities and initiatives throughout the school
community, have provided a substantial benefit to our
school. They will all be fondly remembered and missed,
as they continue to have a positive impact on the lives of
the children and families that they meet in their roles as
Catholic educators for Dufferin-Peel Catholic District
School Board. We know that you will join us in thanking
them for the outstanding work they have done here at St.
Catherine of Siena School, and extending our best
wishes for continued success.
Get Ready! For Secondary School –
Summer Transition Program
As part of successful transition planning for grade 8-to-9
students, the ‘Get Ready! for
Secondary’ Summer Program is
one of the foremost innovations
within the DPCDSB. This 20
hour program blends Literacy
and Numeracy focused
instruction with Secondary
School Readiness Activities that help to welcome and
prepare the student for their secondary school
experience. The program, which is a joint project
between the Program Department and Continuing
Education, allows students entering Grade 9 to get to
know their secondary school, in particular their teachers
(i.e. caring adult) before attending classes in September.
As a result, the program unique to Dufferin-Peel eases
the grade 8-to-9 transition for students and parents alike
as their confidence, comfort level, and awareness of
secondary programs and pathways are significantly
amplified before they enter Secondary School. The
program will take place at St. Martin Catholic Secondary
School and will run from August 25 - 28 from the hours
of 8:20 - 1:00 except on the 28th as the day will end at
12:00. For any further details please refer to the St.
Martin Catholic Secondary School Website or feel free to
contact Mr. Silvestri at 905-279-3171 ext. 76051
Test Dates are June 3, 4, 5 (a.m. only), and 6 (a.m.
only)
Please try to avoid scheduling any doctor’s
appointments or anything else that will take your
child out of school during the testing dates.
Students will complete the three tests during these four
days. The tests will be administered in the morning and
early in the afternoon. Students will not receive
homework during these test days, although they are
encouraged to continue with their daily reading each
evening. We encourage the students to get plenty of
sleep and eat a good breakfast in order to ensure the
highest degree of success. Please provide your child
with an extra beverage (water bottle) to help keep
him/her hydrated during the day and throughout the test.
We will also be providing an extra snack in class during
each of the tests days for all students.
Provincial Elections
St. Catherine of Siena will be a
polling station for Provincial
Elections on June 12, 2014.
Provincial elections are scheduled
every four years. During a provincial election, you elect a
Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) to represent you
in the Legislative Assembly.
There are 107 electoral districts in Ontario, which are
sometimes also called "ridings." Your electoral district
has an elected MPP who speaks for you and everyone
who lives in your electoral district. When all the MPPs
meet in the Legislative Assembly, they make the laws
that govern Ontario.
When a provincial election is called, individuals who
want to represent you and your area as MPPs put their
names forward to run as candidates. These individuals
will either represent the views of a political party or will
run independently.
Report Cards
The report card for Term 2 will be going home on
Wednesday, June 25, 2014. Because our staffing is
tentative, the Provincial Report Card will
only state the grade level for next year. It
will not contain the room number or
teacher; this information will be shared
with students in September.

Siena Awards Award Winners!
Personal Electronic Devices
When teachers notice a
student(s) living out the
virtues, here at school, they
will give out a SIENA Award
Slip to the student(s).
A reminder to students and
parents that the School Board
has a policy regarding the use of
Personal Electronic Devices on
school grounds. Students in
particular have become quite
attached to these devices! The
expectation is that no electronic
devices (iPods, Mp3 players, etc…) are brought to
school at all. With regard to cell phones, if your child has
your permission to bring it with them to school, our clear
expectation is that it is powered off and kept out of
sight for the entire school day (including lunch and
recess breaks). The school is not responsible for items
that are lost or stolen.
> K-3: Kenneth N (Prince) and Tehila (Sitas)
> 4-6: Lance L. (Zador) and Sarah T. (Zador)
> 7-8: Claudia W. (Torun) and Justtin H. (Tropea)
These students have been acknowledged school wide
through a P.A. announcement and have their picture
posted on our SIENA Award / Virtue board. Teachers
focused on, although not limited to, the virtue of the
month.
Text Books
Medical Concerns
If your son / daughter has any medical concerns, please
ensure that you inform the school. Information may be
shared directly with the classroom
teacher / office. If medication is
required, forms will be sent for
completion by parents and the family
doctor. All information is held in
confidence.
Storage of Medication
We would like to remind all
parents who have their child’s
medication stored here at the
school to please pick it up at the
end of the school year. We do not
retain medications from one year
to the next. New medications and
the proper forms for storage will
need to be filled out for the new school year. We will
send an individual reminder to all parents affected by
this policy.
Warm Weather Precautions
During the warmer days of spring and
early summer, students are advised to
wear and bring sunscreen and a hat
when outdoors at recess. Drinking
extra water will help with hydration.
Weather conditions are monitored
during the school day for heat alerts and other unsafe
conditions. Time and activities outdoors are adjusted
according to this information.
Hats Off 2 Kidz
On Thursday, May 8, 2014, along
with many schools across the city,
we held a Walk-a-Thon in support of
Leukemia Research at Sick Kids Hospital. We
were able to raise $430. Together We Will.
All text books must be returned to the
classroom teacher by June 26. Letters
for unreturned items will be sent home
with students regarding the cost if lost.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Volunteers Make a Difference
We wish to express our sincere
appreciation to the many parents and
members of our school community who
have given generously of their time,
energy and talents to benefit the
students of St. Catherine of Siena
School. Volunteer contributions have made a positive
difference in the lives of our students. Together we make
our school a success.
Volunteers - Criminal Reference Checks
and Annual Offence Declaration
If you're interested in helping at the
school, and do not have a Criminal
Reference Check, we are more than
happy to give you the necessary
forms to be signed and completed.
Criminal Reference Checks are
free of charge for volunteers. All volunteers, including
those going on one day school trips, must have a
Criminal Reference Check completed by the Peel Police.
If you have a Criminal Reference Check here at the
school, we’re asking you to please complete, sign and
submit 2014 Annual Offence Declaration for
Volunteers. This declaration saves parents from
completing another Criminal Reference Check
Year End BBQ

Are you Ticked?
Kiss ‘n’ Ride @ St. Catherine of Siena
Make Sure Your School Support
Designation is English Separate
(Catholic). It’s a powerful message
in support of Catholic education.
The driveway at the front of the school is set up as our
Kiss ’n’ Ride, allowing parents the opportunity to drop off
and pick up their children in a safe and effective manner.
To this end, the success of this requires the mutual
understanding and support
of all our parents to assure
as smooth a transition as
possible to the start and
end of each day.
On October 27, 2014, you will cast
your vote for Catholic school trustee in the Municipal
elections. Make your vote count, by ensuring you are
registered as an English Separate school supporter.
When you designate yourself as an English Separate
school supporter, you help foster a strong political voice,
through your elected representative (Trustee), in
ensuring your rights to a Catholic education for the
young people in our province.
To verify that you are registered as an English
Separate school supporter: (i) Check the assessment
section of your Tax Bill or Property Assessment Notice,
and (ii) Check your Voter Information Card received by
mail during the month of May
We can help you register or change your direction of
school support. Contact the Admissions Department at
905-890-0708 ext. 24512. For more information, visit
Guidelines:

Follow the arrows on the driveway to the dropoff/pick-up area (in front on the Kindergarten yard).
Please do not use the Bus Loading zone (right next
to the sidewalk) as this area is meant for buses or
emergency vehicles.

Pull up as far as you can, it allows more cars to use
the Kiss’n’Ride.

Do Not Park or Get out of Your Vehicle in this
area, even if only for a few seconds. Parents who
wish to get out of the car are asked to park in the
designated visitor parking in the front and at the side
of the school.

Students are to exit the vehicle on the passenger
side (right side)

Once your child has left the car, please exit right
away at the south end of the school, driveway
closest to the Fire Department.

Please drive slowly and carefully in these lanes at all
times.

Please do not walk your children through the
Kiss’N’Ride lanes, this can be unsafe.
www.dpcdsb.org
Attendance and Punctuality
All students are expected to attend school regularly and
punctually. In the event that your child will be late or
absent, please call the school and follow the prompts to
leave a message. This can be done 24 hours a day.

Student Dress Code
Board Policy states that all
students are expected to dress
in clean, neat and practical
attire. Appropriate attire is the
criterion for acceptable dress
that most often reflects our
attitude toward any given situation. The expectation here
is that we avoid such recreational wear such as tank
tops, halter tops, muscle shirts, tube tops, spaghetti
straps, short shorts, cut offs, hats/headgear, wallet
chains and shirts with inappropriate logos/symbols. The
items are contrary to both the philosophy of our Catholic
schools and the standards that we set as parents and
educators.
Kindergarten Drop-Off (Sidewalk clear)
In support of our Safe Arrival
procedures here at Siena, we are
asking the sidewalk in front of the
Kindergarten yard be kept clear
and accessible to students making
their way to the school yard. With
morning traffic, it is imperative that students not be on
the road, and they have a clear path on the sidewalk. To
help with this, we ask that once parents/guardians
drop off their children that they please move away
from the sidewalk. This is a safety concern for all
pedestrians, especially the students in the morning. We
ask for your continued cooperation in this very important
safety procedure
School Council
Next Meetings: Wed., June
4 at 7 p.m.
Communication between home and school is greatly
enhanced by parental involvement with the Catholic
School Council. All parents/guardians are
encouraged to come out to meetings and participate.
Green News: Growing a Green Community
The students of Siena
have worked extremely
hard this year trying to
make our world a little
bit more “GREEN.” Not only have we implemented new
initiatives this year, but we have also continued with our
previous year initiatives.
Here is just a snapshot of some of the things our Green
Team members have promoted:
Garbage Audits
 A day’s worth of school garbage was collected and
sorted and as a result we found a lot of paper towels
were being unnecessarily used
G.O.O.S Bin
 If paper is good on one side let’s reuse it!
One and You’re Done
 Information gathered from the Garbage Audit
initiated this campaign
 When washing hands, students are encouraged to
dry their hands using only 1 paper towel
 This greatly reduces the amount of paper being
used at our school
Enviroman and Recyclebot
 These Green Team mascots continue to inform our
students about Green Team news or tips
L.O.L
 Everyday during lunchtime, students turn off the
classroom lights to minimize our use of electricity
and save energy
Newsletter
 In our monthly newsletters, the Green Team shares
its activities
Monitors Off
 Students and teachers continue to turn off the
computer monitors after computer use, this
continues to reduce the use of PHANTOM POWER
.
Walk to School Wednesdays
 In the fall, Siena was encouraged to walk to school
every Wednesday in order to reduce pollution and
stay fit!
.
Rock Star Lunch Challenge
 In December, students were encouraged to pack a
Rock Star lunch including at least 3 reusable
containers
 At the end of the week we packed over 1,500 Rock
Star Lunches. Way to go Siena!
Ecoschool Presentations
 Throughout the year classes participated in a variety
of workshops promoting Green Living
Eco-Fair
 The grade 6 classes did a phenomenal job yet again
educating the Siena community on many different
ways we can make a difference and be true
stewards of God’s creation!
Big Crunch Day
 Students eagerly participated in this event and made
a loud crunch as they ate healthy and/or locally
grown snacks
Big Gulp
 Students took a huge gulp from their reusable
container and helped to minimize the amount of
plastic water bottles being used.
It has been a fantastic year! A great big thank you to
all the students and staff that have helped us make
all these wonderful initiatives a success! Enjoy your
summer and G-O-O-O GREEN!

Communication
In an effort to be more environmentally
responsible, St. Catherine of Siena
School provides information
electronically to families through our
school website and through direct email
to students’ homes. We will be able to send you our
school newsletter, as well as any important updates,
efficiently and effectively if we have your email address.
Of course, should you prefer not to give us your email
address, we will provide a paper copy of the newsletter
to your child to bring home. Thank you to the many
parents and guardians who chose to have our newsletter
emailed to them.
Are You Moving
If you are
planning a move,
or have already
moved, please let
us know. If you
are moving to a
new school we
will give you a
Transfer Form to take with you to the new school. We
will be preparing classes for September 2014 and this
information will be helpful in determining class sizes. In
the past we have had to reorganize our classes in
September due to unexpected transfers.
If you currently live outside the school boundary and are
attending St. Catherine of Siena on a flex boundary
request, you will need to request flex boundary for next
year. The “Flexible Boundary” procedure is
reviewed annually. Please note that flex boundaries
will be looked at on a case by case basis and are not
guaranteed from year to year. If you are requesting flex
boundary, please note that transportation is your
responsibility. The Board will not provide either
transportation or additional supervision for students
admitted under this procedure. Note, the students
admitted under this procedure do not automatically
become eligible for the Secondary School serving the
school. A separate request must be made to the
Secondary School Principal.
Opening Day Procedures September 2014
The first day of school can be
hectic for students – especially
if they are new to our school,
and our opening day
procedures! On the first day of
school, staff will be outside
wearing safety vests, and will
have signs indicating grade
levels. Students will assemble in front of the appropriate
grade level and will be directed into a classroom for
room allocation. In this way, classes are quickly
established, students are matched with their teacher,
and everyone proceeds to their specific classroom. See
you on Tuesday, September 2, 2014.
