These families have already been notified. If you haven’t received a notification confirming that your registration is complete, please visit the re-registration website to submit any missing forms. If you're unsure which forms are outstanding, don't hesitate to contact the office for assistance. As well, PAD form and Pastor Authorization Form (only your part on top) must be submitted. Fr. Rey will be starting to meet with parents in February and will sign off on the forms after your meeting.

Please note we are just starting with Cambridge in the used uniforms so selection will be limited.

6) PARENT PARTICIPATION UPDATE
Families, thank you for your eagerness to share your time and skills with our school and Parish. Volunteer tasks are being scooped up within minutes of being posted to the website. This is causing some frustration and anxiety for others, worried there may not be enough hours for everyone. To address this, we added and increased positions such as am playground supervisor, and two traffic supervision roles before and after school. Please remember that as the year progresses, there will be more tasks available. Between sporting events, sacramental events and fundraising initiatives, there will be enough hours for families to complete their hours.
Work done at the Parish through various ministries will count for parent participation hours. The Knights of Columbus are actively seeking members and they facilitate many volunteer opportunities. The fundraising committee will need help with the annual gala so reach out to them and ask how you can get involved.
Lastly, if you have identified a volunteer opportunity which you can fulfil, please share these ideas! Send an email to:
parentparticipation@cloverdalecatholicschool.ca
