Attendance
Regular attendance at school is a parents legal responsibility and the Eastern School District has a policy that
stresses the importance of regular attendance. As parents/guardians we are responsible to ensure our children
attend school on a regular basis unless there is a valid reason for an absence. If your child misses school due to
illness or another valid reason, please send along a note to the classroom teacher when your child returns.
Nutrition Policy
All schools in the Eastern School District follow a nutrition policy which emphasizes healthy eating and healthy
living. All food items served at the school will fall within the guidelines outlined in this policy. Parents are also
encouraged to support the nutrition policy by providing nutritious items in their childrens lunches. The
Nutrition Policy can be found on the Eastern School Districts webpage or a copy will be provided from the
school upon request.
Canteen/Lunch Services
Until further notice there are no Canteen/Lunch services available at Catalina Elementary. Students must pack
their own items for both recess and lunch. A synervoice message will be sent out indicating when the service
will be available.
School Development
School Development has been a very positive experience at Catalina Elementary. During the 2015-16 school
year a new School Development Plan was successfully implemented. We are looking forward to continuing
with the implementation of this plan during the 2016-17 school year.
Student Agenda
Each student from grade 1 to grade 6 will be provided with a student agenda that has been specifically designed
for Catalina Elementary. The agenda should be used on a daily basis to record homework assignments and it is
a useful way to communicate between school and home. Please take the time to look at your childs agenda
each day!
Indoor/Outdoor Footwear
Students should have a pair of indoor sneakers with non-marking soles to use in school. Most brands indicate
whether the soles are non-marking on the box or the sneaker itself.
Student Information
Please complete the attached registration form and return to your childs homeroom teacher as soon as possible.
Volunteers
During the 2015-16 school year, it was great to see parents involved in the school community on a daily basis.
Some parents became involved with the School Council, while others helped out with our photocopying,
supervising on field trips, Kids Eat Smart Breakfast Program, hot lunch program and warming of student
lunches.
There are many ways that parents can become involved in their childs classroom or school community.
Volunteers are welcome anytime. If you would like to volunteer, please contact your childs teacher or a
member of the administration.
Fresh Fruit
Bagels/English Muffins
A date for the start up of this program will be provided when enough volunteers are in place to begin the
program. Please contact the school if you are interested in volunteering to help with the Kids Eat Smart
Breakfast Program.
