School Project for Lent

posted Feb 28, 2019, 11:28 AM by Margarita Ziroldo

As we enter the season of Lent, we would like to inform you of this year’s Lenten Project. In an effort to encourage doing something kind for others, we are challenging students to help with chores at home. We ask that each child perform one new chore each night during the week to earn $0.25. Then each Friday, students can bring in their dollar as part of a fundraising opportunity. All proceeds will go to OK Clean Water Project, which aims to provide clean water sources in Cameroon. For more information about this charity, you can visit their website at: www.okcleanwaterproject.org.


Lets get our good deeds going!

Immunizations

posted Feb 1, 2019, 10:35 AM by Margarita Ziroldo   [ updated Feb 1, 2019, 10:36 AM ]


Ottawa Public Health is maintaining student health records for up to date immunizations.  Students missing immunizations will be suspended Wednesday, February 6th.  Please refer to School Immunization info. Some parents/guardians have received a notice from Ottawa Public Health (OPH) advising them that their child’s immunization records are incomplete. If you have received such a notice, please be advised that your child will be suspended from school beginning on February 6th, and will be unable to return until OPH advises the school that he/she may be readmitted.

If you have any questions, please contact Ottawa Public Health at 613-580-6744.

Lunch Pizza Order Jan 2019

posted Jan 21, 2019, 6:43 AM by Margarita Ziroldo   [ updated Jan 28, 2019, 8:49 AM ]

The St. Martin de Porres School Council is pleased to announce we will continue the pizza program through the remainder of the year. Our pizza is provided by Jo-Jo’s Pizzeria and is available in either cheese or pepperoni options.

The cost per slice is $2.60.

 

Orders and payments are only accepted online.  Orders can be placed online starting Tuesday January 22nd. Please use the School Cash link to pay online: https://ocsb.schoolcashonline.com/. 

 

NEW: To improve the quality and accuracy of pizza delivery, students will no longer be able to alternate between cheese and pepperoni, but rather must pick one option which will persist through the session. We thank you in advance for your cooperation with this change.  Also new for this year, we will be offering Gluten Free Cheese Pizza as an alternative option.

 

Snow Day Policy

If there is a snow day on one of the scheduled Wednesdays, pizza delivery will take place on the following non-snow day. Bus delays and cancellations can be found on the school’s web site.

**We are currently collecting pizza orders for February 27 to June 19, 2019**

The deadline to submit your pizza order(s) is Thursday, February 7th. This is a firm deadline and orders cannot be processed after this date.

Do you have a child born in 2015?  Come to the school to register during the week of January 14th-18th.  Please bring your child's birth certificate (or Passport), proof of address (ie utility bill) and a baptism certificate if you have one. Learn about the Kindergarten program at your child’s first school and get excited together. If your child will be four years old by December 31, 2019, then they are ready to start Kindergarten in September 2019. The special week lets us register as many families as early as possible. Families who miss it can still register at any time by visiting their local OCSB school.  Please check the board's website for more information

Skating on the Canal

The Rideau Canal is the longest man-made skating rink in the world and it is one of the best reasons to live in this picturesque city of ours. Every year thousands of residents strap on their skates to glide to work, get some exercise or take part in winter fun. There’s no feeling quite like skating the whole 7.8 kms of the canal in one solid go. Be sure to check ice conditions here to check the ice conditions.
