PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
November is traditionally known as the month of Peace. With
the celebration of Remembrance Day on the 11 th, we will continue 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 treating 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 actions 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 console; 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.

REMEMBRANCE DAY
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 United 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 supreme 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.

BACKPACK SAFETY
Independent Learning continues to be a focus with all our
students. We ask that you drop off your child in the kindergarten 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 independently. The staff will continue to work and scaffold
support and strategies to assist the students with the goal to
becoming independent.
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.
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 classroom 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.
St. James’ Parish Bazaar
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.

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.
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 compar tments, the
load will seem lighter.
Do pack heavier items on the bottom so that they ar e
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 str aps 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 str ap because it r educes the str ain
on your back and transfers some of the load to the hips.
DON’T car r y 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.

CROSSWALK
We are very happy to have continued crossing guard
support situated across from our school. We remind students 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 especially when turning right when exiting the parking lot.
Thank you.

ATTENDANCE/ABSENSE
TRAFFIC SAFETY – EVERYONE HAS A
RESPONSIBILITY AND A PART TO PLAY!!
Please continue to be vigilant while driving in our parking 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 encourage 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 parking 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 pr oceed
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 traffic 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 continued safe and proper flow of traffic.
Progress Report Interviews
Grade 1—Grade 8 Progress Reports will be sent home on
November 18th, 2015. Junior and Senior Kindergarten will not
receive a progress report.
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 progress, social behaviour, physical, spiritual, emotional development?
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?
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
How much homework, on average is assigned per day, per
week, etc.?
Volleyball
Congratulations to the Girl’s and and the Boy’s Volleyball .
The Girls and boys have played outstanding volleyball and
represented our community in a positive fashion. We are so
proud of you! They have demonstrated great volleyball skill,
teamwork and sportsmanship. Congratulations on representing
your community in a positive light!
With playoffs around the corner we wish you luck!
Many thanks to Ms. Dawson, Mme. Kerr and Mr. Nobili.
You have done an outstanding job with the volleyball
teams!
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 interview 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!
HOMEWORK CLUB
In an ongoing effort to support our students we have coordinated 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.

Bullying Awareness Week
November 17-23 , 2015 is Bullying Awareness W eek
Bullying is typically a form of repeated, persistent, and aggressive behaviour directed at an individual or individuals that is
intended to cause (or should be known to cause) fear and distress and/or harm to another person’s body, feelings, selfesteem, 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 values. The adults within the school community serve as role
models for our children and we will continue to provide programs and supports for all our students.
Thank you to council for all of your
assistance

We sincerely thank all of our volunteers for their time and
efforts. You give of your time so generously in many capacities within our school and community. Special thanks to all
who have assisted with the hot lunches.

Cork recycling helps raise funds for the St James

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

SCHOOL EMERGENCY
CLOSURE INFORMATION
The Halton Catholic District School Board will attempt to
avoid closing its schools during winter storms. There are occasions, however, when emergency conditions such as severe
storms, impairment of heating facilities and other safety related 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, multigrade sessions will be conducted. Occasionally, when a storm
develops during the school day, carriers will request early closure 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.).
St. James Healthy School
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 conducted 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.
COLD WEATHER
Eat healthy and live well.
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 jackets

STA Leadership Students
Once again this year we are fortunate to have co-op students
from St. Thomas Aquinas volunteering their time to assist with
a variety of physical activities for our students. They will assist
with DPA (Daily Physical Activities), Intramurals, coaching
and a variety of cooperative games. They will be under the
supervision of Mr. vigna and Ms. Dawson. The high school
students will serve as excellent role models and mentors for
students. This initiative ties in nicely with our Safe schools,
Faith, and healthy schools initiatives this year.
Thank You to our Volunteers
We sincerely thank our many parent volunteers who give up
their time so generously to volunteer in many capacities within
our school. We are always seeking more volunteers to assist
us, so please contact Mrs. Hickey or our volunteer coordinator
Mrs. Leaver Cobbold if you are interested. We would like to
formally thank those parents who assist us with our pizza
lunch. This job is very important as we have just a small window of time to get the pizza to our hungry students in order to
allow them enough time to enjoy their pizza. A heartfelt thank
you goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Corbeanu, Mrs. Halcrow, Mrs.
Omorogbe and Mrs. Floresca.

“Share Some Kindness”
2015 Random Act of Kindness Day
Worldwide!
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 students. 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 parentguardian.
At our first R.A.D. assembly in October the focus was on Bullying 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 Kindness. 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 opportunity to recognize people for their efforts in representing St.
James and/or helping to make St. James a great school community!
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 community 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 person) 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 communities, such that people did it more and more... What kind of a community 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 helpful 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!

WASTE-FREE LUNCH
WASTE-FREE LUNCH TIPS

Get children to help pack their lunches 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 leftovers for lunches. Minimize the morning rush by
packing lunches the night before and refrigerating
overnight.
Then please think about donating food items to our program….
We would gladly accept boxes of fruit cups and applesauce. Boxes of nut-free/chocolate chip free granola
or cereal bars.
High fibre crackers such as Melba Toast, Triscuits, or
whole grain crackers like Stoned Wheat Thins or Pepperidge Farms whole grain Goldfish. Cheerios or Mini
Wheat's
and jars of jam, or Cheese Whiz.
contact: [email protected] or simply
drop off your donations at the school..
Thank you for your support!
TTFM Survey
In our continuing effort to increase school effectiveness,
the Halton Catholic District School Board will be implementing 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 behaviours. The survey was designed by researchers to give
the most useful information for determining what needs
to get done to improve schools.
