PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE November is traditionally known as the month of Peace. With

the celebration of Remembrance Day on the 11th, we will con-

tinue to focus on being peace-makers here at St. James. Our

students are encouraged to treat one another with a spirit of

genuine respect by remembering and applying our school

agreements; play safe, be kind, show respect and be attentive

listeners.

By applying these simple rules to all aspects of our school life,

we are attempting to instill in our students the notion of treat-

ing others the way they would like to be treated. This applies

to all aspects of school life. Parents and families can assist us

by reinforcing these rules at home and by modeling for our

students the ways in which they can be peace-makers. It is

through the consistent application of these concepts both at

home and at school that students will begin to treat others in

the respectful and inclusive way which Christ Himself has

modeled for us. Our actions of acceptance, kindness, sharing

and forgiveness are ways we can bring forth peace. Our ac-

tions follow Jesus’ actions of being a light for others.

We recognize that God is a God of all people. With God’s

help we break down barriers that separate people from one

another and from God. We grow in our understanding that

God gathers and welcomes everyone.

Jesus invites us to treat each other with kindness and

respect.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love.

Where there is injury, pardon.

Where there is doubt, faith.

Where there is despair, hope.

Where there is darkness, light.

O Divine Master,

Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to con-

sole; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to

love.

For it is in giving that we receive.

It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Your partner in Catholic Education,

P. Vigna

Principal

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month – this is

Remembrance Day in Canada. Many gather at cenotaphs

and memorials in over 2,000 cities, towns and villages

throughout this wonderful country. We bow our heads in

respect and reflection and we wear a poppy. We take part

in a simple, but very moving ceremony to honour the

many Canadians who died on September 11th, in the two

World Wars, the Korean War and we remember the Unit-

ed Nations Peacekeeping Operations throughout the

world. During the minute of silence we remember, each

in our own way, the brave people who were in the Army,

Navy, Air Force and Merchant Navy who paid the su-

preme sacrifice in many ways in order to preserve the

many freedoms that we enjoy today and to ensure that

this great country of ours remains free and democratic.

The poppy, which many of us wear, is a symbolic

reminder of the many people killed in the fields where it

grows. Remembrance, as symbolized by the poppy, is

our eternal answer which belies the fear.

For to remember is to love again.

On Wednesday November 11th, 2015@ 10:45a.m., we

will host our Remembrance Day service. Our staff and

students invite parents to join us in the gymnasium as we

pay tribute to the veterans and our current peacekeepers.

Please join us and discuss the importance of spreading

peace at home, in the classrooms and on our playground.

Independent Learning continues to be a focus with all our

students. We ask that you drop off your child in the kindergar-

ten yard around 8:40 am. This will allow for the students to

socialize and play independently with their classmates. As a

staff, we will continue to reinforce transitional routines, such

as: lining up and taking off jackets and backpacks inde-

pendently. The staff will continue to work and scaffold

support and strategies to assist the students with the goal to

becoming independent.

We have seen great gains already and the students feel a great

sense of pride when accomplishing these tasks. The staff

continue to praise and reinforce their accomplishments and

success on a daily basis.

With the colder weather setting in we ask parents to

refrain from entering the coatroom to assist with changes.

For late arrival … please follow school protocol and check in

at the office and a staff member will walk your child to class.

This will further foster independence while minimizing class-

room interruptions.

Please wait to pick up your child at the end of the day at the

appropriate exit doors. We need to minimize disruption at the

end of the day and ensure we have a safe and orderly dismissal

for all students.

Thank you for continued support.

The St. James Christmas Bazaar will be held on Sunday,

November 29th from 9:00 to 2 pm in the school gym. We are

accepting donations of new items for the silent auction as well

bottles of wine for the wine basket raffle and baked goods for

the bake table. We will also have our incredible fritelli, café

and more. Anyone interested in helping with the bazaar is

asked to contact the office (905) 845-3603.

Morning Bell 8:45 am

Lunch Hour 11:50 a.m. – 12:50pm

Dismissal 3:20 pm

Please note the supervision in the morning begins at 8:30.

Please do not drop students before then. We need to make

sure they are adequately supervised.

ATTENDANCE/ABSENSE

Pack it Light. Wear it right! Why should your child’s

backpack cause them pain? Lighten it up and their backs

will thank you. Students in Grades K to 8 should only

carry 10% of their bodyweight in their backpacks. Test it

out at home, weigh your child with and without their

backpack on, you may be surprised at the weight of their

packs. Have a look inside and you may find some items

that do not need to be transported back and forth to

school everyday. Extra shoes can weigh 2 pounds. Have

an extra pencil case at home so that one can stay at

school.

Here are some helpful hints for you and your children. A

healthy back now will help pave the road to a healthy

back as our children grow!

DO have a pack with plenty of compartments, the

load will seem lighter.

Do pack heavier items on the bottom so that they are

closer to the body.

DON’T sling the backpack on one side as this will

strain the muscles and joints in the back

DO wear both straps and adjust them so that the

pack fits snugly. You should be able to slide your hand

between the backpack and the back.

DO use the waist strap because it r educes the strain

on your back and transfers some of the load to the hips.

DON’T carry your backpack too low as this will

cause you to lean forward and strain the upper back

DO place your backpack on the table and put it on

one strap at a time.

We are very happy to have continued crossing guard

support situated across from our school. We remind stu-

dents needing to cross over with crossing guards must

remember to walk bikes across the cross walk, and to

always obey the direction of our crossing guard.

Drivers please be aware of the crossing guard espe-

cially when turning right when exiting the parking lot.

Thank you.

Please continue to be vigilant while driving in our park-

ing lots and please follow the designated routines that we

have established. If all spots are taken we ask that

parents/guardians exit the parking lot and return when

congestion has minimized. If at all possible we encour-

age you to car pool and if possible walk. Also, please do

not stop/park in fire safety or bus loading zones. We ask

parents/guardians to please ensure all car paths are clear

for traffic to proceed in a safe manner in our school park-

ing lot.

Thank for your continued cooperation and

for ensuring we give the right of way to

buses especially on school property.

Please note that the entrance into the St. James School

parking lot is located by the Parish rectory. Please use

this entrance at all times. Also, please proceed

through that drive way in a careful and slow manner.

New directional signs have been installed by the parish

to ensure all visitors are aware of the proper flow of traf-

fic and the appropriate entrance and exits for the parking

lot. Once you have entered our parking lot please park in

the designated parking slots to ensure there is a contin-

ued safe and proper flow of traffic.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Congratulations to the Girl’s and and the Boy’s Volleyball .

SO, YOU HAVE AN INTERVIEW ........

Parent / Teacher Interview sessions have been organized for

November 26th and 27th 2015 This can be a time of some

anxiety for parents and for teachers. Some of this anxiety may

be alleviated if we realize:

• that interviews are intended to be a 2-way

communication mechanism, or 3-way communication

should your child accompany you. A focus should be

on the learning skills and any areas of concern or an

area where your child is excelling

• Inform the teacher of your child’s view of school and of

learning in general. What stories, what feelings does he/

she have about school?

Have some prepared questions :

Is there any cause for concern about my child’s academic pro-

gress, social behaviour, physical, spiritual, emotional develop-

ment?

Do you see my child as having special needs beyond the

regular curriculum for this grade?

Is my child attentive in class?

Does my child participate enthusiastically in most activities?

How much homework, on average is assigned per day, per

week, etc.?

What can I do to help my child at home?

Above all, this exchange reinforces the primary purpose of the

interview as information sharing for the best interest of the

child. As always, please feel free to schedule another inter-

view with the teacher, as the teacher will with you, if either of

you feel a more thorough discussion would be of benefit.

Best wishes for a good conference!

In an ongoing effort to support our students we have coordi-

nated with staff and community agencies opportunities for

students to receive extra support. Our children are created in

the image of God and deserve our best effort so they can reach

their full potential. Special thank you to the coordinators of

each initiative.

SEND US YOUR USED CORK. Cork recycling helps raise funds for the St James

Breakfast and Basket Programs.

Recycling natural cork helps divert tonnes of used cork normally destined for landfills. One lawn bag full of natural cork is worth $15.00.

That $15 buys enough cucumber or cantaloupe or multi-coloured sweet peppers for our 270 students for one week…The more corks we

collect the more food we can buy. During the 2015-2016 school year, we earned $90 in cork

proceeds.

ONLY NATURAL CORK PLEASE, NO PLASTIC STOPPERS.

November 17-23 , 2015 is Bullying Awareness Week

Bullying is typically a form of repeated, persistent, and aggres-

sive behaviour directed at an individual or individuals that is

intended to cause (or should be known to cause) fear and dis-

tress and/or harm to another person’s body, feelings, self-

esteem, or reputation. Bullying occurs in a context where there

is a real or perceived power imbalance. Bullying can take

many forms. It can be physical, verbal, social or electronic

(commonly known as cyber-bullying).

At St. James we strive to create a school climate that is safe

and nurturing. Our school culture is based on our gospel val-

ues. The adults within the school community serve as role

models for our children and we will continue to provide pro-

grams and supports for all our students.

We will continue to address all bullying issues in a fair, con-

sistent and timely manner ensuring all stake holders are in-

formed and a part of the process.

Grade 8 Parent Information Night

There is a Parent Information Night for parents of Grade 8

students scheduled for Wednesday, November 11th, 2015 at

St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Secondary School beginning at

Our Together as Girls & Just the Guys programs are gender-

specific programs that allow participants to talk about things

that matter most to them, participate in fun activities, and be

involved in making positive impacts on our community. Both

programs will facilitate the development of leadership skills,

and further participant’s understanding of self.

POLICE CHECK AS REQUIRED

YOU MUST HAVE A POLICE CHECK DONE PRIOR TO

HELPING OUT AT THE SCHOOL IN ANY

CAPACITY AND AN ANNUAL DECLARATION SIGNED

TO RE-ACTIVATE YOUR CRIMINAL CHECK

(these declaration forms may

be obtained from the school)

This includes the following:

Class Trips/Events

Any Classroom Activities where parents are

invited to help out

School committees of any type

The Halton Catholic District School Board will attempt to

avoid closing its schools during winter storms. There are occa-

sions, however, when emergency conditions such as severe

storms, impairment of heating facilities and other safety relat-

ed circumstances may require the early closure of schools.

When weather conditions cancel transportation or cancel some

bus routes, parents are advised to use their own discretion in

deciding on school attendance. If attendance is reduced, multi-

grade sessions will be conducted. Occasionally, when a storm

develops during the school day, carriers will request early clo-

sure to ensure that children arrive home safely. At that time,

parents will be notified according to the procedures outlined

on the Emergency Closure Form ( attached with news letter ).

Tune in to the following radio stations for news about HCDSB

school closures and/or bus cancellations due to inclement

weather (commencing at 6:30 a.m.).

November brings with it the advent of cooler weather.

Students must be prepared for the upcoming weather

changes by coming to school with suitable coats, boots,

hats, gloves etc. It is important parents realize that we

go outside three times a day for recesses and in order to

enjoy this time, kids must be protected from the elements

with proper winter attire. We appreciate your assistance

with this matter. Please see Mrs. Hickey if there is a need with regard to winter

jacket as the school has coordinated a delivery of winter jack-

ets

St. James Catholic Elementary School is a “Living School.”

Last year, we established a living school committee to assist

the school community in our transition to a healthier, more

active school community. This initiative fits with many of the

programs and policies already in place.

Results from three key research and evaluation studies con-

ducted between 2004 and 2007 demonstrated that Healthy

School:

Increased physical activity levels and healthier eating

behaviors among students and teachers

Increased student attendance, attentiveness and

alertness

Reduced behavioural issues

Improved student achievement

Once again as we move into the new school year we continue

with:

1. Daily Vigorous Activity – We continue with our

Quality Daily Fitness program in which students

will engage in daily vigorous physical activity.

We recognize the value in being active.

2. No Food Drop-off Challenge – As part of the

program we continue to encourage healthy eating

habits among our students, we are very pleased

that parents continue to refrain from dropping off

fast-foods at the school for their children.

Thank you for the continued support with our Living School

Initiative.

Eat healthy and live well.

Really Awesome Doings = R.A.D.s - Program

As a result of the numerous Really Awesome Doings (R.A.D.s) taking place at St. James, the R.A.D. boxes in the office are filling up! The R.A.D. recognition program is designed to promote and recognize the positive behaviour and interactions of our stu-dents. St. James staff have been equipped with R.A.D slips. When a staff member notices a student demonstrating an act of kindness, good deed or other noteworthy gesture they will write the student's name on the R.A.D. slip and provide the R.A.D. slip to the student. The student submits one half of the R.A.D. slip in the the R.A.D. box in the office and the other half they get to take home to share/celebrate with their parent-guardian. At our first R.A.D. assembly in October the focus was on Bully-ing and the difference between bullying and conflict. Students and staff understand that bullying is a societal issue and one the live in unhealthy relationships. Furthermore we celebrated the positive relationships we have at St. James and promoted the anti bullying stance we currently are living each day. ". Stay tuned for more anti bullying community building events

this year! The next R.A.D. assembly will take place on Tuesday Nov. 24th and the focus on this R.A.D. assembly will be on Acts of Kind-ness. We will participate in the Random acts of Kindness day and carry that forward through the month of November. We will again draw some R.A.D. slips for prizes and take the oppor-tunity to recognize people for their efforts in representing St. James and/or helping to make St. James a great school com-munity!

“Share Some Kindness” 2015 Random Act of Kindness Day Worldwide!

November 6th...and through the month of November! At St.

James we plan to share kind acts and then plan to pass it on!

What is Random Act of Kindness Day? Random Act of Kindness Day® (RAK) is designed to raise commu-nity spirit by spontaneously offering a “ good turn” for someone, just because it’s a kind and fun thing to do! The random act of kindness can be simple and no cost (e.g. take out the garbage for an elderly per-son) or, it can be at modest cost (e.g. buy cookies for the office). And then there’s the “ripple effect”. Imagine if this idea took hold in our com-munities, such that people did it more and more... What kind of a commu-nity would we be developing then?

Why Should I Participate? The reasons are simple. First of all it is fun to do small kindnesses while participating in a big event! You’ll feel good and so will the recipient. Another good reason is to increase the spirit of voluntarism in Oakville. Imagine an Oakville with increasing numbers of people engaging in help-ful and meaningful acts of kindness in their neighbourhoods, all year round. The result? - Resilient and strong communities.

Staff and students are looking g forward to participating in this initiative!

TTFM Survey In our continuing effort to increase school effectiveness, the Halton Catholic District School Board will be imple-menting a school survey Tell Them From Me (TTFM). Students in Grades 4 to 12 are invited to complete the student survey during school hours. The survey will take place from October 19th - November 6th. TTFM is a voluntary, online school survey that allows students to give their input into school improvement initiatives in an anonymous way. The student survey explores such topics as student engagement, emotional health, physical health, safe schools and risky behav-iours. The survey was designed by researchers to give the most useful information for determining what needs to get done to improve schools.

WASTE-FREE LUNCH TIPS

Get children to help pack their lunch-

es with healthy foods.

Only pack as much food as your child will eat.

Use a reusable lunch bag/box for carrying a lunch.

Use a refillable bottle for drinks – it’s cheaper and

children can save drinks for later.

If you choose to use a single-serving container,

please make sure it is recyclable in your child’s

school.

Put sandwiches, muffins, etc. in ‘Tupperware’-

style containers, instead of plastic bags. Label all

containers with your child’s name so they have a

better chance of coming home.

Avoid pre-packaged, single-serve portions of

snacks.

Put re-usable napkins in your child’s lunch box.

Prepare extra food at dinnertime and use the lefto-

vers for lunches. Minimize the morning rush by

packing lunches the night before and refrigerating

overnight.

Congratulations to the members of the 2015 St. James Mus-

tangs Cross-Country Team` who competed in the annual Hal-

ton Catholic District School Board's Cross-Country Meet at

Bronte Creek Provincial Park last month. All team members

competed to the best of their abilities and demonstrated posi-

tive attitudes. The coaches would like to thank all team mem-

bers for their hard work, dedication, and commitment! We are

already looking forward to next year! Thank you Mlle.
