This is our first newsletter of the year and it is being sent home on Friday September 14th, 2018. All
future newsletters are sent home monthly on the first school day of each month. For your convenience,
they are also posted on our website the same day. Newsletters contain up-to-date information and
calendars and it is our hope that parents read them carefully and are aware of upcoming events. At any
time you may also contact us at 403-500-2104.
On behalf of all of the staff at Monsignor J.J. O’Brien School I would like to send out a big ‘Thank-You’ to
all of our school community who supported us and assisted us with our school start up this year. We have
42 teachers, 14 support staff, 777 students, and many parent volunteers that walk through our doors
every day. Our school is a bustling hub of activity, and a place where we take pride in teaching and
learning. The support and assistance we receive from the school community certainly makes what we do
easier.
Our faith theme this school year is “Search and You Will Find”(Matthew 7:7) and throughout the year we
will reference this theme and integrate it into classroom teachings. We officially introduced this theme to
our students at our opening mass in the gym on September 13th, and will continue to make reference to
it in many activities this school year. Please feel free to join us at our ‘Thanksgiving liturgy’ on October 5 th
at 9:00am where we will continue to celebrate this theme with our students. As a Catholic school we
have much to celebrate and much to be thankful for, and we look forward to another amazing school
year.
All of that being said, we are excited to begin another school year. We would like to welcome our new
families, our new and returning teachers, and all who help make our school a true Catholic Community of
Caring. This is a great school with great teachers in a great community. We are once again excited for the
2018 – 2019 school year.

NEWSLETTERS All newsletters are sent home electronically to all provided and valid email addresses. If you have not already provided the school with an up-to-date email address please do so at your earliest convenience. Newsletters will be sent electronically on the first school day of each month and posted on our school website. If you do not receive your electronic version, please contact the office. If you require a paper copy, please contact the office to make arrangements to have one sent home with your child. ALLERGY ALERT As in the past, we at Monsignor J.J. O’Brien School try to ensure a safe school environment for all students. This includes students who have severe, life-threatening allergies to peanuts, cashews, almonds, tree nuts, etc. Because of these risks, we are requesting NUT FREE snacks for students. Please read labels and take note of peanuts and nuts listed when you prepare snacks for the class or send in packaged snacks. Many foods contain nuts, peanuts or sesame and products, such as peanut and sesame oil. If your child is diagnosed with an allergy or medical condition anytime during the school year, it is essential that you inform the school.
MONITORING STUDENT CONDUCT ON BUSES
As we begin a new school year, it’s important to reflect on how students are expected to behave when on
the bus traveling to and from school. As you likely know, our main bus carriers have had a difficult time
hiring and retaining enough drivers to cover all of our routes. The Calgary Catholic School District wants
to ensure that inappropriate student behavior isn’t contributing to this challenge. The district’s Student
Conduct for bus regulation contains protocols for students to follow while travelling on district provided
transportation in order to ensure a safe and secure environment for riders and drivers. Adhering to these
guidelines is an important way to foster a positive atmosphere on the buses for students and drivers.
Please keep in mind:
• The driver has full control of the bus and the driver’s directions must be obeyed.
• While on the bus, students must conduct themselves in a quiet and courteous manner, showing
consideration for the comfort and safety of others.
• Scuffling, fighting, smoking, and the use of inappropriate language on the bus are prohibited.
• Students must not distract the bus driver or move about the bus while it is in motion. Sitting on
the bus seat facing forward is what provides protection to students if the bus has to stop quickly.
• Continued student violation of rules for conduct on school buses may lead to loss of riding
privileges or further disciplinary action. Principals determine the consequences.
• It is also important that parents be aware of their own behavior around bus drivers, especially in
front of children.
• Bus companies do not permit adults to board the bus for safety reasons. The bus driver does not
necessarily know if the adult is a parent of a child on the bus or not, so they are trained to not
allow adults on the bus.
• Parents should communicate any issues with a bus driver through the school principal or vice
principal.
• School staff are responsible for cultivating a positive relationship with the school bus drivers. If
there are issues which would benefit from consultation with the district’s Transportation
department, the principal or vice-principal is invited to contact the transportation manager or
other department staff. If everyone keeps these guidelines in mind, it will make for a pleasant,
safe and secure environment in which to transport students to and from school.
Cell Phone Usage
Cell phones in the classroom can be a great tool for learning. Many students use them as a dictionary,
calculator or to access content from Bright Space. However, in the past they have been a great distraction
for our students. Many of our students are accessing apps such as Snapchat, Instagram and texting
friends during class time instead of listening and working. We would like to remind students that the use
of cellphones in the classroom is at the discretion of each teacher. Teachers will be reviewing cell phone
expectations with each of their classes. However, Snapchat, taking selfies and texting friends are not
appropriate in any class. The expectation is that students are listening and working on assigned work.
Those students using their cellphone inappropriately will have it taken away by the teacher. If a cellphone
is taken away 3 times for inappropriate use, the student will no longer be able to have it in class and the
phone must remain in their locker. We are asking for parents to support us in this by talking to your
children about appropriate use. If you need to get in touch with your child during the day for emergency
purposes you can always phone the office at 403-500-2104. We will pass the message along, as students
may not be able to view or text you back during class time. Students can check for messages at nutritionbreak and lunchtime. Thank you for your support as we strive to provide the best possible learning environment for your child. Celebrating Birthdays Birthdays are an exciting day for young ones and they often want to share their birthday celebrations with classmates. We would ask that celebrations are done at home, or another location, but not at school. Parents have raised concerns about nutrition and healthy eating habits, and in keeping with our District’s healthy eating directives, we ask that parents do not send any birthday treats for classes this year. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. Student Absences Students are expected to be on time for school. A parent must notify the office before 8:20 am. or 12:43 p.m. when a child is absent or late. If a parent has not informed the school, our automated calling system will call all phone numbers we have on file until we receive confirmation that the call has been received. As some parents find this rather annoying we request that you call us prior to these times. Feel free to use the school answering machine to leave a message leaving the reason for absence. Thank you in advance. Parking - “Safety over Convenience!” Parking at Monsignor J.J. O’Brien School has been and will continue to be a source of concern for all of us – administration, staff, parents and visitors. We have approximately 65 staff and only 44 parking stalls. Some school personnel and all volunteers and visitors will be required to park on the side streets. Please take care to park in designated spots as some areas are bus stops and drop off areas only. On behalf of the staff we again ask that you do not use the staff parking lot as a drop off or pick up area for your child, as the safety of your child is at stake. We also ask that you do not stop in the middle of the road to drop off a child. Please take the time to pull to the side of the road, (not the crosswalk) before your child gets out of the car. Student Medications Parents are asked to inform the school as soon as possible of any medical concerns regarding their child. School personnel are not authorized to administer any medication without the approval of our District office. Therefore, should your child require medication during the day, please contact the school so that an Administration of Medication to Students form may be sent home to be completed by you and your child’s physician. Please contact your child’s homeroom teacher or our Assistant Principal Dean Weisensel (dean.weisensel@cssd.ab.ca) if you have not yet received these forms. Thank you for your cooperation. We appreciate your understanding and support in meeting these important accommodations. We anticipate a safe and healthy school year for all of our students. Thank you!
From the Counsellor 2018-2019
Dear Parents and Guardians,
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, my name is Tamara Gordon and I’m the new
School Counselor at JJ O’Brien. I am so happy to be here and to be a part of such a wonderful school and
community! As the Counselor, I have the privilege to work with every single student in the school. My
primary responsibility is to promote the academic, personal, and social development of all students. I
look forward to offering support to the students, staff, families and community. Ms. Browne has
expressed that it was a pleasure serving the students and their family, and extend a warm goodbye. I look
forward to getting to know you and your children! Please feel free to call me, or stop in so that we may
meet face to face.
Kindest Regards,
Tamara Gordon

RECYLING
The district is providing single stream recycling to all school sites; which include paper, cardboard,
plastics, glass, and metal. The school has received a large blue bin for recyclable materials (paper,
cardboard, plastics, glass, and metal).
The procedures for recycling at the school will be the following:
- Each class will be responsible for sending their recycling (paper, cardboard, plastics, glass and
metal) regularly to the large blue bin . Each class will be responsible for emptying their
recycling in the blue bin that is located in the school.
- At lunch, students will be asked to put their juice boxes (bottle containers) and recyclable
waste (large blue bin) into respective recycling bins. We will be looking for classes/groups to
take on this recycling initiative.
- Bottle recycling containers will be distributed around the building.
-
The key philosophy is to reduce the total amount of material being sent to landfill and reducing out
impact overall at Monsignor JJ O’Brien.
