september 2016 st. michael’s school - … · must complete a volunteer driver authorization form...
TRANSCRIPT
I hope everyone had a restful, enjoyable summer. As far as school is concerned it is time for back to work. Hopefully
that encompasses learning as well as an environment that is faith filled, directed by the love and compassion of Christ,
and conducive to growth in all manner of speaking. It is my hope that St. Michael’s continues to be a good place to be
regardless of one’s academic prowess, athletic or artistic ability, etc.. We are here for every single child and will do
our best to ensure success for them.
As always if you have a concern regarding your child please see your teacher. Our doors are always open and that
holds true for me as well.
Grade 7-12 will be receiving hard copies of their timetables today and one will be sent home via newsletter as well.

Bell Times
All parents transporting students, other
than their own, for any school activity
must complete a Volunteer Driver Authorization Form each year as
well as provide the school with a current 5-year Driver’s Abstract,
proof of $2,000,000 liability insurance, current Criminal Record
Check & Vulnerable Sector Search and a copy of your valid
Driver’s License. Volunteer drivers are an integral part of our
students’ educational experience. Without your help it would be
more costly for us to run our sports programs and field trips.
Please consider volunteering to drive students. We ask that your
forms and paper work be completed as soon as possible. Forms
are attached.
Once again students in Grades 5 &
6 will be participating in the AMA
Safety Patrol Program. These
students will patrol the intersection to
ensure student safety. Please remind your
children to respect the duties of the patrollers.
We ask that all students and parents cross the
street at the patrolled corners. Parking stalls
are available along the east and west sides of
the school and should be utilized. Parking in
front of the school is not permitted from 8:00-
9:00 a.m. and 2:30-3:30 p.m. to allow busses
proper access to the school. Everyone is
asked to comply with the posted parking
signs for student safety.
Please be sure to
check us out on our Facebook
Page, Twitter Account and of
course our Website. Our
Twitter account will provide you
with sports scores, activities etc.
and can be accessed as follows:
@smbischool. Our Facebook
page can be viewed at
www.facebook.com/
stmichaels.bi and our website

Parking
Volleyball
Concession
The concession is open for
business. A menu with price list
is attached for your reference.
Students are asked to continue
pre-ordering their lunches. This
enables faster service and
shorter lines. Milk cards are
available at $10.00 for 10
milk. If you are able to help in
the concession during lunch hours
please contact Mrs. Mastel.
Concession volunteers are asked
to be at the school by 11:45 in
order to get things prepared.
Volunteering an hour of your
time is greatly appreciated.
Contact Mrs. Mastel to find out
how you can help!
Newsletters
Newsletters are published once
a month and will be sent to
families electronically by email.
If you do not have an email
account or prefer a paper
copy, please contact the school
to make those arrangement.
Newsletters will be sent out by
the 1st of each month.
School Fees
An invoice for school fees will be mailed
to you shortly. You will notice a
reduction in your total fees. As
mandated by Alberta Education, School
Divisions will no longer charge for
textbooks. This means you will not see a
charge for Basic Resource Fees on your
invoice. This is a savings of $45 for
Grades 1-6, $55 for Grades 7-9 and
$65 for Grades 10-12.
Social Media

Michael’s for 23 years an
last year his family started a
scholarship in his memory for
our graduates. The
challenge this year is to
match last year’s total of
$7,713.35. If our students
accomplish this outstanding
achievement they will all be
treated to a movie and
popcorn. Pledge sheets have
been handed out to students
and extra copies are
available at the school office.
Students must return their
pledge sheets and money to

HBI Holy Spirit Roman Catholic Separate Regional Division No. 4
Volunteer Automobile Driver Authorization
To be read by the volunteer driver BEFORE filling out the form.
NOTICE RE: INSURANCE COVERAGE VOLUNTEER DRIVERS: Those wishing to act as volunteer drivers for school division activities and who are planning to use their own vehicle would be well-advised to inform their insurance company. With regard to insurance coverage, the school division insurance policies have been endorsed to provide excess liability insurance for volunteer drivers. At the present time, the maximum excess amount is $9,000,000. However, the school division’s insurance does not come into force unless there is a claim in excess of the liability limits in the owner’s insurance policy (e.g., if the volunteer driver’s insurance limit was $200,000 – which is required by law – and there is a judgment of $400,000, the driver’s insurance would cover $200,000 and the school division’s excess liability insurance would cover the remaining $200,000. Damage to the owner’s vehicle is NOT insured by the Holy Spirit Roman Catholic Separate Regional Division No. 4. School division excess liability only applies when no payment has been made for the use of a private vehicle (e.g., gas, mileage, etc.). When payment is made for the use of a private vehicle it is incumbent upon the owner of the vehicle to arrange for proper and adequate insurance through his own insurer. If you are doing a lot of volunteer driving for school, sporting or church activities, etc., we would suggest that you review your insurance limits with your agent to ensure that you are adequately protected. _________________________________________________________________________ Notes to the Application on other side: Note #1: Applications can be approved only when the driver possesses a valid driver’s
license and is able to respond “no” to questions concerning convictions and suspensions.
Note #2: The owner of the vehicle is expected to inform his/her insurance agent of the
intention to use the automobile and to act as a driver for school board activities. The majority of insurance companies do not require an endorsement to auto policies or an additional premium charge because this driving is classified as occasional and is not done for compensation.
Note #3: It is required by the division that volunteer drivers carry a minimum
$2,000,000 personal liability limit. News Release from Community Health (Lethbridge) Parents please be advised: A child who is under the age of six years and whose weight does not exceed 18 kg (40 lbs) must be properly secured in a child safety seat.
