Month of May Administrative Message

The month of May has arrived, and we enter our second month of distance learning due to the Covid-19 pandemic.  Our students and certainly our parents are working very hard at maintaining a positive balance of school learning and a semblance of normalcy for our students.  We are grateful that all of you continue to do the best that you can given these circumstances and know that the staff of St. Basil will continue to provide you the best on-line learning opportunities they can. 

May is the month of mothers, the women who are givers and nurturers of life whom we celebrate on May 10.  May is also the month of Mary, Edmonton Catholic Schools Patron Saint.  The virgin mother was exalted by divine grace above all angels and men and is the patroness of all humanity who advocates to the heavenly Father on behalf of us all. 

As we continue our journey through this month a reminder to all that we are still operational in the general office from 9:00 – 2:00.  Students that still have not picked up their personal belongings from March are welcome to call the school for pick up.  As well we continue to accept new students in most grades and encourage all our families to promote our programs.  Check out Instagram and Twitter to see some of the great things our staff and students are during this time. 

Please follow this link for more information about what will be expected of staff, students and parents to support online learning.
