Raven Report 1.10 Family Edition - October 31
Dear St. Kateri Raven Families:
We hope your family has a fun and safe Halloween! We certainly enjoyed celebrating at school. The students had a blast dancing and showing off their amazing costumes. It was a great day filled with creativity and school spirit.
As we move into November, we look forward to gathering as a school community for a special All Saints and All Souls Day liturgy on Tuesday, November 4, when students return to school. This liturgy will be held during the school day and offers a time for reflection and prayer as we honour the saints and remember loved ones who have passed.
Please note that Monday, November 3 is a non-school day due to the teachers' convention.
We offer this prayer in honour of all saints and souls:
Prayer for All Saints and All Souls
God of mercy and compassion,
We thank You for the saints who have shown us how to live with courage and faith.
We remember all souls who have gone before us, especially those we hold in our hearts.
May they rest in Your eternal peace, and may we be strengthened by their example.
Amen.

To ensure your child stays warm and comfortable during outdoor recess, please send them dressed appropriately each day. Warm layers, jackets, mitts, and toques are especially important.
- Edsby and Seesaw – Our staff will all be using two platforms for communication this school year. Edsby is the platform where you will be able to see updates on your child’s assessment throughout the school year. This is also where you will view your child’s progress reports in January and June. Our school calendar and office newsletters can also be found on Edsby. Edsby is also used for communication and your child’s learning portfolio for Gr. 4-8 students.
Kindergarten-Gr.3 will be using Seesaw for communication and your child’s learning portfolio. Your child’s classroom teacher will be sending home a unique code for each student to connect to Seesaw. Seesaw is a convenient app that you can access easily from a cell phone. You can communicate with your child’s teacher through the app as well if needed. Please get connected with these two important apps as soon as possible to ensure that you can get all the information you need to be engaged with your child’s education this school year. If you are having any difficulty getting connected to Edsby or Seesaw, please call the office at 306-791-1785.
