WELCOME to Holy Redeemer School! We're a TEAM!


We are very excited to be your child's teachers this year.  Together, we are looking forward to a wonderful year of learning. Each class has a TEAM of facilitators made up of teachers, Early Childhood Educators (ECE), and possibly, an Educational Assistant (EA).  Also, the Office Administrator, Cathy O'Brien, our Resource teachers, Mrs Moss & Mrs.McCaffrey, and our Principal, Mr. Rodgers, all play important roles in your child's school life. You, the parent, are the most vital member of our TEAM.

We will be using this blog to communicate important information to you throughout the school year.  We will be posting information about events at school, special dates, and various reminders to ensure you are included in whatever is happening throughout the school year. We encourage you to subscribe by email to the blog so you won't have to remember to visit it to keep up-to-date, the news will simply arrive.

Each class will also have a Twitter account where more specific learning inquiries, events, news or creations will be posted. If you do not want your child's face to appear in our Twitter posts, please send a note clarifying this. 
[FYI: Our "followers" are the class' parents.] 

This year we are introducing a new feature to keep you informed, it is a private app that will remind you by text message of any upcoming events at school. Details to follow.

We look forward to working with you and your child to foster a love for learning, and an intrigue for inquiry.  Above all, we are committed to ensuring that each child is aware that they are a “valued” member of our inclusive classroom community, each 
with their own unique gifts and talents to share.

Please do not hesitate to contact us at the school at 613-591-3256 or send a note if you have any questions or concerns.   

Sincerely,
the Kindergarten Teams
