Daily Covid Screening
Students need to confirm they completed and passed their daily self-screening every day they attend school/work in person. Students must complete the Provincial Screening Tool followed by the Daily Screening Confirmation Form. Parents are to sign the form and return it to school with their child daily. Teachers will then make sure the form goes home again at the end of the day. This back and forth process will continue until further notice.
Attention Grade 8 Families
Our School Photographer will be at St. Kateri Tekakwitha on February 2, 2022 to take our Grade 8 Graduation Photos. Students who are currently utilizing the temporary remote learning option will be scheduled for the same day at the school.

3D Printer to be used by the Intermediate Division
We are excited to announce that our Intermediate division is participating in the YCDSB 3D printer borrowing program. This program offers students an opportunity to learn how to work and program a 3D printer. The students will be using a Dremel Digilab 3D45 printer. This unique learning opportunity will help further develop our students’ global competencies. We are so excited to see what our students create utilizing the Dremel Digilab 3D45 printer.
