Progress Report Card Distribution
Our school will be delivering report cards electronically this week (Tuesday, November 12th (after 4:00 PM)) via the Parent Portal.
If families have not already had a chance to sign-on to the Parent Portal, we would recommend that your family take action immediately prior to Tuesday to ensure your username and password will allow access.
To access this portal, please visit our school’s website (https://kta.ycdsb.ca/), and click on the parents link in the top banner. From the Parents page, you will find a link to “Maplewood Parent Portal ConnectEd” on the right hand side.

Cell Phone Guideline: Reminder!
We have an appropriate cell phone use policy at St. Kateri Tekakwitha CES. If your children bring their phone to school, they are not to be used during the instructional day at St. Kateri Tekakwitha CES. If you choose to send your child with their phones with them to school, the following rules will apply:
- Cell phones are to be off and invisible. They are not to be taken out or left to ring/vibrate in pockets or in desks.
- If a staff member sees a cell phone out or being used anytime during the school day, the educator will instruct the student to put the device away.
- If the educator sees the student using the device a second time, they will be sent to the office, the Principal will document the incident and give the student a warning and store the cell phone for the remainder of the day for the student to retrieve.
- If this continues, the device will be stored in the office, the parent/guardian will be contacted by the Principal, and the device will remain in the office for the remainder of the day. The device will only be returned to the parent or guardian.
- If this continues to happen, the device will have to be picked up by the parent or guardian each subsequent time and progressive discipline will be applied.
Personal mobile devices can be used during instructional time under the following circumstances:
- For educational purposes as directed by the educator in the classroom;
- For health and medical purposes (students with medical conditions are not required to obtain a physician’s note to be eligible for this exception; a note from a parent or guardian is sufficient.);
- To support special educational needs.
If you need to speak to your child during the school day, kindly contact the main office 905 -4471 – 4477. Parents/Guardians are encouraged to discuss these expectations with their children at home and to support school staff in upholding this policy.
