Welcome to the St. Mary learning Community! We are looking forward to working with your child in our faith\u2010based environment that is designed to encourage all students to reach their full potential, in all aspects of their lives.<\/p>

Our teachers have a challenging and complex role.\u00a0 They are responsible for developing appropriate instructional strategies to help a variety of individual learners meet curriculum expectations.\u00a0 This is best accomplished in partnership with the excellent support staff that is in place at St. Mary.\u00a0 We are also proud of its wonderful partnership\u00a0 with Immaculate Conception Church, and the relationship encouraged between the home, the school and the church.\u00a0 With guidance, we continue to encourage our students to live by Catholic values, and to be contributing members of our communities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Despite being a small rural school in Northern Ontario, St. Mary Catholic School also strives to stay connected to the world. Dedicated efforts, the use of available technology and strategic planning of the staff and its School Council have made the world a smaller place to navigate, with emphasis on graduating global\u2010minded citizens responsible for the care of this earth, given to us by our creator.\u00a0 However, the task of educating our students is one that cannot be accomplished by the school alone.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

We strongly encourage that parents build a partnership with the teachers and staff in order to properly plan for our students\u2019 success.\u00a0 Please continue to use the agendas for daily communication, or pick up the phone when a question or concerns arises.\u00a0 It is only though constant communication that the appropriate planning can occur for the betterment of all involved.\u00a0 We at St. Mary thank you for entrusting us with your child\u2019s education.<\/p>

Sincerely,
C. Vuorensyrja
Principal<\/p>
