Welcome Back to School.  It is going to be a very exciting year.  I would like to welcome back our returning students and offer a special welcome to new students and families.  We are so happy to have you with us at St. Augustine and we are anxious to get to know you.  Your teachers will be beginning to prepare the IEP for your child and a consultation form will go home the first week of school for your input.  I have attached a copy of the consultation form here as well.  If you have any questions or concerns at any time, please feel free to contact me at the school.  Have a wonderful first week everyone!

Adam has become well known around St. Augustine Catholic School in his very short time here. This evening he is being honoured for the Gospel value of Community. He thoroughly enjoys his new friends and classmates and his good nature and enthusiasm are infectious. He has a huge heart and is often concerned about others. He frequently inquires about the well being of classmates and teachers. Adam brings out the best qualities in those around him. The St. Augustine Community is blessed to have Adam in our midst.
