VOLUNTEERS IN SCHOOL

   The Algonquin & Lakeshore Catholic District School Board believes that parents are the primary educators of their children and therefore have the right and responsibility to participate in their children’s education. To improve student learning and to enhance the quality of Catholic education volunteers are welcomed. Volunteers working directly with students (assisting during school excursions, providing 1:1 assistance in the school, etc.) are asked to submit a Criminal Background Check (CBC). to the school office.

    These checks are currently done for a fee of $20 or $40 based on your residency.  There is no fee for a Volunteer Criminal Record Check if you attend on the designated dates.  The dates can be found at www.police.belleville.on.ca at the Children's Safety Village, behind the Belleville Police Service Offices, 93 Dundas Street, Belleville.

     Please bring two pieces of valid identification (at least one with photo).  A volunteer letter from the school (please see Mrs. MacInnis).  A CRC Application Form.  This form can be downloaded from www.police.belleville.on.ca 

BUS CANCELLATION

     Please note, in the event of bus cancellations, schools will remain open.

     The Triboard Transportation website is www.triboard.on.ca This is a great, website with lots of information. You can now sign up for automatic e-mail notification of bus delays / cancellations. The inclement weather procedure adhered to by the Tri-Board Student Transportation Services is outlined in the list following. Road condition reports are obtained from various Municipal Road Superintendents prior to 6:00 a.m. Several owners/operators of our local bus companies are inspecting road conditions in their geographical area and are in contact with the Tri-Board Student Transportation Services as early as 5:30 a.m. during inclement weather. Parents of bussed students should be reminded to review/update their emergency contact information and listen to local area radio stations/pdf/radiostations.pdf for bus delays/cancellations.

     When a bus does not travel a route in the morning due to ice or snow conditions, it will not do so in the afternoon. When a bus does not travel in the morning due to fog and the fog clears during the day, the bus shall pick up students at the school in the afternoon for the journey home. When a bus does not travel in the morning due to mechanical difficulties, it will run in the afternoon. The procedure for early building/school shut down is the responsibility of the Director(s) of Education, to make decisions with respect to the early and/or temporary shut down of schools and Board buildings.

OUR LADY OF FATIMA CATHOLIC SCHOOL 50TH ANNIVERSARY
Happy Anniversary,
     Our Lady of Fatima! Principal Patrick Mulvihill and the staff and students of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School in Belleville celebrated the school’s 50th anniversary on Wednesday, May 13th, 2009, the Feast Day of Our Lady of Fatima. The school welcomied present and past students, staff, school families and friends to a Mass at 6:00 p.m. at St. Michael the Archangel Parish and a reception  followed at the school.
     The school was constructed in 1959 and has undergone several structural additions including a library, new classrooms and a gymnasium, and most recently a computer lab. The environment of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic School is student-friendly – the yard provides ample space and equipment for student activities and play. An active parent community provides support and direction. The school works closely with St. Michael the Archangel Parish to meet the spiritual needs of the students and all others in the community. The staff of the school, along with assistance of parents, parish team and community partners, provides a variety of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities which foster academic, moral, spiritual and social responsibility. This year OLF has helped its community, within the school, locally and globally. The school features a busy breakfast club and snack program for the students. The school also supports: the Christmas Sharing Program, Algonquin and Lakeshore Catholic Education Foundation “Toonie Tuesday”, United Way, CURE Foundation for Breast Cancer Research, Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Fund, Terry Fox Run (more than $75,000 raised in the past 13 years), Project Love, ShareLent and most recently Canadian Food for Hungry and Buy-a-Net. Our Lady of Fatima proudly lives its mission to develop a school community of love, learning and respect by living Christian values and nurturing student growth.
     Past Principals of Our Lady of Fatima include Alice Lawlor, Jack Ryan, Walter Raniowski, Marsh Gouett, Gerry Bibby, Michael Coughlin, Catherine LaVallee, Dr. Maryanne Bullock, Odila Hoye and Linda Harvey
