I am very pleased to let you know that the Edmonton Catholic School District
continues to meet the Class Size guidelines set out by Alberta’s Commission
on Learning. Since September 2004, our school district has spent more than
$21,000,000 to reduce class sizes. We have just recently submitted our average
class sizes to Alberta Education and they are as follows for the 2006-2007
school year:
Kindergarten to Grade 3 16.7 students per class |
Grades 4 to 6 20.5 students per class |
Grades 7 to 9 23.9 students per class |
Grades 10 to 12 25.6 students per class |
February is a busy month in our District as our schools begin hosting information
evenings and open houses. You may want to explore the many program
choices in our school district. Whether your choice is your community
school, athletics,
language programs, International
Baccalaureate Programmes, or any other
programs,
please check our web site at www.ecsd.net for
additional information and Open
House  dates.
Our school district truly lives its motto of “Faith and Choice”.
February is also the month when we begin preparing for the 2007-2008 school
year. We are now well into budget deliberations, program planning and establishing
goals and priorities for next school year. Your opinions and views will help
us in the planning process. To send us your input, visit our web site and click
onto the section called “Tell
Us What You Think” for an easy to
use electronic form that can be emailed back to us. Thank you for your contribution.
Lent will soon be upon us so I would like to close with the following Lenten
reflection:
Lord, during this Lenten Season nourish us with Your word of
life and make us one with You in love and prayer.
Let us walk
more readily in Your ways, and guide us in Your gentle mercy to do your
will. Amen
Sincerely,
Joan Carr
Superintendent
