Greetings from the Principal:
Welcome to the month of May! May is an exciting month in the school year calendar because there is a special emphasis on all that is good in education during Catholic Education Week, which takes place from May 3 - 7 in our schools. We have an excellent line up of activities for parents, staff, and students to participate in. Please see the section below and ensure that you come out to our community events, and that you encourage your children to fully participate in these events, which are true spirit building activities. The school will be very busy during this important week!
May is also the month that we celebrate mothers, and we remember our Mother Mary, the mother of Christ, who has provided such solace and example to all of us, and who we turn to as the best example of motherhood possible.
We also remember our own mothers, who have moulded and shaped us into who we are. A special note of thanks to all of the mothers out there, whose work is seen in the children we serve here every day. Long days of toil and tears of joy and pain are behind all of the children in our schools, and I would like to extend our thanks to the Moms who work so hard to support their children in all of their educational endeavours.
I have been very gratified to hear so many compliments and warm comments about our wonderful staff here at Immaculata. Education is truly a calling, and it take special people to work daily with young people and to assist them in becoming the responsible citizens they are when they leave here at graduation time. The staff here, from the Educational Assistants to the custodial staff, the secretarial staff, to the teaching staff is second to none. I would like to recognize them on your behalf during this education week. And on behalf of all of the staff at Immaculata, I would like to extend our warmest wishes to you and our thanks for your ongoing support in all activities at Immaculata.

Pastoral Notes
The beautiful Spring weather reminds us of the Risen Christ whose spirit continues to animate our world. We have much for which to give thanks here at Immaculata and our gratitude is shown in our life of prayer. In addition to our daily morning prayer over the PA we recently celebrated three Easter Eucharists at Canadian Martyrs Church. Our thanks go out to Father Smith, OMI for his generosity of time and talent. Our thanks also go out to those students who helped with readings, tech setup, and processions, and to the choir and music ministers, Ms. Blackburn and Ms. Keyes for their service to our community. Finally, our staff began their PD Day on April 23rd with a liturgy of the Word to help centre their day. Such moments of prayer help us to remember who we are, sons and daughters of God.
May we continue to give thanks for Christ is Risen! |

School Council members have decided to recognize the hard work and commitment of our staff by providing treats for lunchtime on Tuesday, May 6th, which is International Teachers Day. Many thanks to the school council for their ongoing support of our efforts.
On May 31st, we welcome parents of grade 6 students who will be joining us for our monthly School Council meeting. The focus of this meeting will be the transition to the high school setting, and it is intended to be an informal opportunity for parents to ask questions about issues they are thinking about as their children make that transition to Immaculata next year. We encourage you to attend and avail yourselves of this opportunity. We also would be most grateful to meet those of you who currently serve on school councils in your elementary school setting, and who might be considering coming out to serve on our school council next year. We would be most appreciative of your support, and we hope that you will come out and continue to work in that capacity, or to try your hand at it for the first time. All interested parents are welcome to apply for a position on council. |
New Social Justice Group at Intermediate Making Money & MATS!
The new social justice group MAC ATTACK had been busy attacking a variety of issues this year with great success. Bake sales to support the year end trip, penny drives & pizza lunches for breakfast food - all to generate much needed funds for our community!
The ongoing project for this group as been the Milk Bag Mats. Thanks to a donation from Mac staff and students, and more recently a donation from St Nick's of two large garbage bags full of empty milk bags, the group has been able to make enough plarn (plastic yarn) to make 4 double sized matts. This is well beyond what we ever expected to be able to send to Africa in June 2010.
Special thanks to Ms Bev Szadkowski (E.A. at Immaculata) who has single-handedly crocheted all 4 matts for us! You are the best Miss Bev - thank you!!!!!

Visit to St. Patrick's Home
The I.C.E. Reps (Immaculata Community Effort) participated in a successful trip to St. Patrick's Home on April 22. This is in keeping with our desire to connect with the broader Catholic community. It was the club's second annual excursion to visit and help residents with their social activities. An ensemble of 5 student musicians performed a concert which the residents seemed to really enjoy. They also helped organize a bowling game in the recreation centre.
Other students made personal visits to the residents' rooms delivering a flower to each resident they met. This was a rewarding experience for the students who loved to listen to residents' stories and visit with people who have had interesting and diverse lives. On this occasion the students visited with Tom Van Dusen, the former Executive Assistant to Prime Minister John Diefenbaker and author of The Chief. They were impressed with his knowledge and enjoyed his sense of humour. As it turned out, Mr. Van Dusen had a special connection to Immaculata as his daughters were graduates and his daughter Tina was a former Head Girl.
We are already looking forward to our next visit with the residents.
Special thanks go out to Mrs. Cronin and Mrs. Gorman for their training of our ICE reps and the hard work they do! |

Beautiful Immaculata Bags for Sale:
If you have not seen the beautiful Immaculata bags, you are in for a treat. With the artistic skills of our resident photographer, Mrs. Maryalice Mullally, we have been able to produce a bag that shows off the architectural beauty of this historic school as well as its beautiful surroundings. The bag features twelve fantastic shots of our most memorable features, including the Grey Sisters Commemorative Library, the lovely doors facing the canal, the chapel, the student lounge, as well as shots of the canal and the ivy covered walls of the tower.
We are always looking for ways to promote our school in the community, and to ensure that the pride that we feel in our beautiful school is communicated to our community. This bag is a great way to show off our school, and our staff has found that they are always asked about it when they use it in the community.
These bags are very inexpensive at $5.00 each, and they are very sturdy and spacious. They can be used for our students to carry their phys ed clothing in, or to use on your shopping expeditions. A photo of the bags is available on our website, and we will be selling them from the main office beginning in March. The bags sell for $5.00, and you can obtain one by asking your son or daughter to purchase it at lunch time from the Mac Shack, or by calling our office.

Engaging Artists Every Thursday afternoon since February, Immaculata students have been busy learning how to make and create their own Mosaic Tile designs. With the support of a SPEAK UP Grant and under the watchful eye of Mosaic Artist Jelana Mitric, 15 students from Gr. 7/8 have been nipping, cutting and designing their own artwork! Initial designs are almost completed and when finished, they will be displayed till June, when the students are free to take them home.
Designs vary from flowers, graffiti, and cartoons. their names and other abstract art. The thing about Mosaic tile is that nothing is a mistake and the kids meet with success weekly! This engagement initiative has indirectly taught many life lessons, with the students loving the experiential learning time.
The months of May/June will be spent designing a mural for the school to permanently mount, with a theme "I Belong".The months of May/June will be spent designing a mural for the school to permanently mount, with a theme "I Belong".

Mac Helping Hands
On Friday, April 30th, a group of students in grades 7 & 8 held an excellent community outreach event in our student lounge. The students called themselves "Mac Helping Hands", and under the direction of Mrs. Susan Walsh, their Destination Employability Teacher, they created and executed a business plan. The students decided they wanted to reach out to seniors in our community, and they invited the residents of the Abbotsford Seniors Residence to attend Immaculata for an afternoon of sandwiches and tea and entertainment. The students worked very hard on this event, which was very well attended. The seniors enjoyed the finger foods and were most appreciative of the talents of our young people, who were all dressed up for the event. Special thanks to some of our honoured guests for their support: Mr. Clive Doucet, Mrs. Kathy Ablett, Mrs. Simone Oliver and Father Robert Smith, and to Torre Hansson of the Learning Partnership. We are very pleased with the work our young people did to create this intergenerational activity. They learned a lot from their visits with the seniors, and we hope this is the start of an onging relationship with them. |
| Workplace Safety Week:
During the week of April 26 - 30, our students and students all across the school board participated in Workplace Safety Week. The week's events included a representative group of students from each of our school's attending the National Day of Mourning for workers killed on the job at Vincent Massey Park. Students learned about the large number of people who are killed while performing their job related duties every year. They were shocked to find out that 40, 000 workers are killed in the line of duty each year. Grade 11 students, who are often acquiring part time jobs for the first time, and are often enrolling in Co-op Education positions, were the audience for a very compelling and touching presentation by Mr. Rob Ellis, who spoke of the pain of the tragic loss of his son David, who in 1999 was killed in his second day on the job in an industrial accident. Mr. Ellis's presentation was simulcast live to all of our high schools, and his message of the need for better supervision and rights for our young people in workplaces is one we must continue to support.
Parents also turned out to our parent information evening on Wednesday, April 28th. This presentation was very well received, and many parents were surprised to hear of the ongoing issue with workplace safety. We encourage all parents to visit Mr. Ellis's website mysafework.com to learn more about his message. We also encourage you to ensure that while your children are completing their community service volunteer hours, they are safe from dangerous or risky situations.

Fire and Lockdown Drills:
We have held two fire drills so far this semester, and will be holding more to fulfil our obligations under the health and safety requirements set out by our school board. We held our first lock down drill on November . It was a good practice for us, and we learned about some areas where we needed to refine our practice. We will be hosting a second lock-down drill at some point in the second semester. Ottawa police will be on hand for that drill to assist us in debriefing and discerning any areas that require more reinforcement. As per new legislation relating to this, we are now required to communicate with the community about our lock down drills ahead of time, to avoid any undue distress to students and staff.
Please reinforce with your child the importance of taking these drills seriously. We should never become complacent.
Lockdown Drill Information
Lockdowns should be viewed as a proactive measure taken by the school to ensure that our students and staff are safe in the event of a threat to the school or the individuals inside. Based on lockdown procedures that have already been established in many Ontario schools, the following guidelines are being provided to help elementary and secondary schools ensure their lockdown plans meet basic requirements, and to ensure a degree of consistency across the province.
Mandatory Requirements
1. All publicly funded school boards in Ontario must establish a lockdown policy to ensure the development and implementation of individual school plans.
2. A minimum of two lockdown drills must occur each school year.
It is important that all people involved understand the terminology correctly. The term "Lockdown" will only be used when there is an imminent threat of violence within the school, or in relation to the school. The misuse of this term could result in staff and students becoming desensitized and not taking the procedure seriously.
The term "Secure School" will be used to secure the school because of a situation that is not an imminent threat to the school but could endanger people if they were leaving the property (e.g., a bank robbery occuring near the school or a gas leak in the neighbourhood). In this case, the school would continue to function normally, with the exterior doors being locked until the situation is resolved, and individual classrooms being locked with students kept inside the rooms.
Lockdown drills end with a general announcement releasing people from the drill. In the event of an actual lockdown, however, no announcement over the public address system would be made until a police officer or school administrator has released every classroom or secured room to a secure classroom situation.
In the event that there is a lockdown drill in a school, parents would not be permitted to enter the school building or to escort their child out of the school. Cell phones would not be accessible to students, and communication would be temporarily cut off to attend to this serious situation. The practise of holding these drills will ensure that our students have a healthy respect for this serious situation.
Fire-drills have long been accepted as an important and effective tool in preparing staff and students for a fire within a school. While this is a rare event, it does, in fact, happen. It is very important that students take these drills seriously, and that they are treated with respect. Fire exit posters are in every classroom and area of the building, and it is extremely important that students exit in a quiet and orderly manner, and that they gather in their designated spot with their teacher, who will be checking their attendance.

Attendance for Extra-Curricular Activities at Immaculata
At Immaculata, we believe that Academic Success is linked to good attendance. We understand that your child might be ill from time to time, have an appointment or be occasionally late despite everyone's best efforts to arrive on time. If you know that your child is ill or will be late, we ask that you phone the school to inform a member of the office team so that it can be correctly entered into attendance records.
We are reminding students that extracurricular activities are a great way of staying involved in the school and developing good social networks. Similar to how Coaches need their players at practice to help them get ready for the game, students also need to realize that being in class is essential for successful completion of courses. Students who continue to have excessive unapproved lates or absences will not be permitted to partake in extra-curricular activities including athletics, clubs, dances or spirit assemblies. This is a last resort. We want our students engaged and participating in extra-curricular activities. However, good attendance needs to be maintained. If any questions, please refer to page 7 of the student agenda which contains the student code of conduct.
Again, we ask that if you know your child will be absent or late, please contact the school to inform a member of the office administrative team. We will not be back-dating lates or absences as approved, if no attempt has been made within a reasonable period of time (from the date of the attendance infraction).
We appreciate your support in this matter.

Homework Help
Free Online Math Tutoring Available
Have a child in Grade 7 who doesn't quite understand how to add fractions? Or maybe your teenager is struggling with a geometry assignment? Extra help is now available.
Check out Homework Help, where certified Ontario teachers are online 20 hours a week to provide free math tutoring for the Grade 7 to 10 math students in the Ottawa Catholic School Board.
Students can log in Sunday to Thursday, 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., for one-on-one confidential help. There are interactive discussion rooms for each grade where they can view to the current lesson, watch tutors draw on the whiteboard - and then type their own question for on-the-spot help.
To access www.HomeworkHelp.ilc.org, your child will receive a login ID, as well as help setting up an account from their teacher at school.
Other math resources on the website include videos of teachers leading students through the top 20 most commonly asked math problems, interactive math tutorials and highlights of best sessions. And all students have a virtual locker, where their work is saved in video format for viewing anytime.
Ottawa Catholic School Board is one of 15 English-language school boards offering Homework Help this school year in the expansion of a pilot project funded by the Ministry of Education. Studies show that students who like math and have solid math skills are more likely to succeed in school and later in life.
"Many students continue to struggle with math. By expanding Homework Help, we are giving more students the extra help they need to succeed and graduate," explains Kathleen Wynne, Minister of Education.
Homework Help began in 2007-08 at schools in the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board and Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board. Across Ontario, about 150,000 students will now have access to the online site.
This website is another addition to the online resources available for Ontario's teenagers. Sign in as a guest and see for yourself. |
Direction of School Support
 By registering your child into an Ottawa Catholic school, you have chosen to support Catholic education through direction of your school support.
When you designate yourself as a separate school supporter, there is no financial benefit to our Board. Instead, you help foster a strong political voice through your elected representative (trustee) in ensuring your rights to a Catholic education for the young people in our province.
Your education taxes, at a rate mandated by the Province, are pooled with those from all taxpayers in Ontario. The money is then redistributed equally on a per pupil basis to all school boards in Ontario. As a residential English separate school supporter, the assessment section of your tax bill should read as follows...
If "ES" does not appear and you are eligible and wish to be designated as a separate school supporter, please call the Ottawa Catholic School Board's Admissions Department at 613-224-4455, ext. 2283, or e-mail Admissions@ottawacatholicschools.ca. We'll help you through the process.
If you do not have children in our school system, you can still choose to support the Ottawa Catholic School Board. Catholic homeowners and tenants are eligible to designate their support. In the case where one partner is non-Catholic, then an Assessment Lease form is also required. School support cannot be divided between two school boards.
Both of the above forms should be completed and mailed to the:
Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC)
P.O. Box 9808, Toronto, ON MlS 5T9
Phone: 1-866-296-6722
 Question: How do I know that I am on the voter's list for the next municipal election on October 25, 2010?
Answer: Call MPAC toll free at 1-866-296-6722. If you provide them with your date of birth and your address, they can tell you if you are on the voter's list, and can also tell you if you are designated as a Catholic school supporter. | |
