Fundraising to Assist Hurricane Fiona Recovery Efforts in Atlantic Canada
As many of you know, WCDSB has a long tradition of fundraising to assist relief efforts when natural disasters strike.
The devastation of Hurricane Fiona across Atlantic Canada has once again called us to action.
Last weekend, the Prime Minister announced the federal government will match all funds raised via the Canadian Red Cross.
Donations will support the range of emergency services the Red Cross is delivering to those in need including interim housing, clothing, food, and other essential supplies.
All fundraising efforts will be collected centrally using the following link:
Individuals can use their existing SchoolCash account or checkout as a Guest. A SchoolCash account is not required.
Thank you,
WCDSB

Dear Parents/Guardians:
As we begin this new school year with high hopes for a return to more normal times, the school board continues to face certain challenges to school operations related to the after-effects of COVID-19.
Among these challenges is an ongoing province-wide shortage of certified teachers and educational assistants, at a time when school enrolments are rapidly increasing.
These shortages were a concern pre-COVID and have unfortunately continued.
As a result, in some schools, there are not enough teachers to cover all the classrooms.
Our school board staff have been working diligently since late summer to interview and hire new teachers and educational assistants and we hope to have all classrooms covered with permanent teachers by the first week of October.
Specifically, board staff have taken the following steps to address the shortages:
As we continue to find solutions to the staffing shortages, we thank you for your ongoing patience, understanding and cooperation.
Sincerely,
Tyrone Dowling (he/him)
Director of Education
Waterloo Catholic District School Board

Sunday, October 2: National Custodial and Maintenance Workers Recognition Day.
The Administrators of the Waterloo Catholic District School Board would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all our Board Custodians and Maintenance Workers. Sunday, October 2, 2022 is “National Custodial and Maintenance Worker Recognition Day”. The role of the school custodian has changed immensely over the course of the past couple of years. We can’t thank our custodial staff enough for their hard work, their dedication to the job and their continued role in the safety of all.
We would also like to thank the many board maintenance workers that work hard in all our schools, to keep things running smoothly. Many times, your work is done in the early hours of the morning or the late hours of the evenings, and we don’t even see you in the building. We do however, benefit from your hard work everyday and recognize today, your important contributions to the success of our schools and our students.
On behalf of all of the administrators in the Waterloo Catholic District, THANK YOU to all of our Board Custodians and Maintenance Workers.
Be well…
…..it is on the way but running behind schedule folks……..
Hello Families,
Our Terry Fox event is tomorrow – Thursday, September 29th. Our classes gather as a school community and we enjoy time outdoors, running and walking our beautiful property to support the Terry Fox Foundation. When Terry Fox was diagnosed with osteosarcoma at 18, the experience ignited in him a fierce determination to bring an end to the suffering cancer causes. His personal experience and research led him to the conclusion that more money was needed for cancer research. And so, on April 12, 1980, Terry dipped his artificial leg in the Atlantic Ocean and proceeded to change the world.
We will collect Toonies for Terry in our classes, or you can donate online through SchoolCashOnline. We will accept donations for the next two weeks.
We have students and families in our own community affected by cancer. The Terry Fox Foundation is an incredible charity that makes a difference.
Thank you,
St. Anne School Staff
