Principal's Message
Greetings!
On behalf of the staff of Holy Rosary Catholic Elementary School, I would like to welcome those families who are new to our school community and those families who have children previously enrolled at our school. We consider it a privilege to educate your child(ren) within a faith-based environment. This website is intended to provide information that will help our school community become more familiar with all of the wonderful student-focused activities that take place at Holy Rosary. Please take the time to review this site on a regular basis.
Creating a safe and accepting school, improving student learning and achievement, and fostering a healthy school community are the staff’s top priorities at Holy Rosary Catholic Elementary School. The staff and community value and support a variety of co-curricular activities including school teams, clubs, intramurals,l and student leadership initiatives. Your involvement in your child’s learning is vital. Together, we will strive to make this year one of growth for all students academically, spiritually and emotionally.
We look forward to an exciting year enriching our partnership with the church, the home and the community. We are very fortunate to work with the staff at Our Lady of Lourdes Parish. These relationships allow our students the opportunity to connect directly with the church and our faith. Working with our school/parish team to support students in realizing their full potential to transform God’s world is a foundation of who we are.
Thank you for your continuous support and involvement. Please contact the school at any point with any questions or concerns you may have.
With gratitude,
Mrs. Sandra Labelle
Principal
Getting Ready for Kindergarten
Welcome to our school community!
We believe that all families are composed of individuals who are competent and capable, curious, and rich in experience. We know our families love their children and want the best for them. Families are experts on their children. They are the first and most powerful influence on children’s learning, development, health, and well-being. Families bring diverse social, cultural, and linguistic perspectives. Families should feel that they belong, are valuable contributors to their children’s learning, and deserve to be engaged in a meaningful way.
Welcome to Kindergarten Event You will be invited to our school this year in the spring, where we can gather in community and get to know each other! There will be an opportunity for you and your child to participate in activities together and ask questions. Let’s get ready to Talk, Create, Read and Play!

Catholic School Advisory Council
Welcome to our Catholic School Advisory Council!
The education of our children is a partnership, working together to build a strong school community. Welcome, we’re glad you’re here.
What is the Role of the Catholic School Advisory Council?
A school council is an advisory body that functions within the parameters of Ministry of Education and Board policy. School councils provide an opportunity and the means to advise the principal and the Board on any matter on the improvement of pupil achievement and to enhance the accountability of the education system to parents/guardians. The ultimate responsibility for the administration and management of the day-to-day operation of the school rests with the principal.
A school council is an important venue for the various stakeholders in education to work in partnership. Its role, in collaboration with the principal, staff, and the community, is to help set the priorities of the school and to enhance learning opportunities, through various activities, for the benefit of our children/students.
What a Catholic School Advisory Council is not
A school council is not a place to pursue your own agenda or advocate for your own child. Individual issues should be pursued through the classroom teacher and/or principal.
