We Learn in the light of Christ
Aprendemos en la luz de Cristo- La lumière du Christ dirige notre apprentissage
École/Escuela Father Leo Green is a Christ centered community that provides a Catholic learning environment celebrating the French and Spanish languages and their cultures. Guided by the teachings of Christ, the staff and students strive for high academic standards where all members are encouraged to develop 21st century learning skills and opportunities in order to become adaptable, global citizens who aspire to a life of faith filled service to others. We, the Catholic school community of École/Escuela Father Leo Green, will ensure that all members are treated with dignity and respect as we learn together in the light of Christ.
Administrators’ Message
To celebrate Catholic Education on Sunday November 05th, the Catholic Bishops of Alberta and Northwest
Territories issued their annual Catholic Education Sunday letter. In their message, the Bishops urged those
involved in the ministry of Catholic education to ponder, in light of our Catholic faith, the true, the good,
and the beautiful.
Every day in our Catholic schools, students are challenged to recognize the inherent beauty and worth of
every person, and to serve others, especially the poor, with compassion and justice. In Catholic education
we feed the minds of students with truth by facilitating their encounter with the Truth, who is Jesus. At
the same time, Catholic education seeks to help students be aware of their own inherent goodness as
children made in the image and likeness of God, while also offering them the opportunity to be silent and
to hear the voice of God summoning them to holiness.
November is also a time to honor all those who have given their life to military service so that we may live in a democratic society free to share our opinions and values safely with one another. Our Remembrance Day Service will begin at 10:30 on Thursday, November 09. Poppies are available in the office and will distributed to our students by our grade 6 leaders prior to the assembly. Donations to the poppy fund will be gratefully accepted. As always, parents are invited to join us for our Remembrance Day Service. Our school will be closed on Friday, November 10. The first school term will soon be coming to a close and the E- report cards (for students in grades 1-6) will be accessible on PowerSchool at the end of the day on Friday, November 17th. If you do not have a PowerSchool account, you will need to create one and add your child to it using the access information that was sent home with the students. If you require assistance, please contact Mme Smith at the office. Our staff looks forward to meeting and discussing with you your child’s accomplishments during the Student Led Conferences on Thursday, November 23th. Many Blessings,
G. Kodershah (Principal) A. Scarpelli-Mannarino (Asst. Principal)
Report Cards and Student Led Conferences Report cards will be available on PowerSchool on November 17th at 3pm. Student Led Conferences (for grades 1 – 6) for parents, teachers and students will be held on: Thursday, November 23, 2017 from 1:00pm – 4:00pm and 5:00pm – 8:00pm Again, this year, we will be using an on-line tool called Conference Manager to allow parents to book their own conference times with their children’s teacher. You will receive detailed information about Conference Manager in an email from your child’s teacher. In the meantime, here is the link to FLG Conference Manager which will become active on November 17th. Kindergarten conferences will be scheduled by the Kindergarten teachers. Please watch for information coming home with your child.
Teachers have been carefully assessing their students in order to provide parents with a detailed picture of
each child’s progress. It is very important that you take the time to read the entire report card with your
child. The key learner outcomes and teacher comments are very important in understanding your child’s
progress this term. Below is a snapshot of the what the levels of achievement on the Report Card mean.
Parents’ Support We at École/Escuela Father Leo Green acknowledge the important role parents play in their child’s learning and success at school. Checking agenda books nightly and providing a structured time and place for children to work will help kids to develop positive work habits and attitudes. We are pleased to offer our students various online resources that they can access from home to support the development of their literacy and numeracy skills. Please ensure that your child is logging on (with their username and password) to the applications listed below to practice their reading and mathematical skills as instructed by their teachers. If you have any questions on how to access these online resources, contact your child’s teacher.
Literacy Numeracy
French Immersion program
Lecture Enfant (Grades K- 3)
Net Math (Gr. 4-6)

Parents also play an important role in reinforcing safe behavior with their children by reviewing the student code of conduct included in their agendas. At school we review the expectations for safe and respectful behavior on a regular basis. If students make poor choices or engage in unsafe behavior, they are given the opportunity to reflect on their choices by completing a student reflection document that they take home for parents to review, sign and send back to school the next day. This document helps the students take responsibility for their actions and come up with a plan (with teacher’s guidance if needed) to correct the behavior and make peace. Thank you for your continuous support. It does make a difference!
Remembrance Day Service On November 9th at 10:30, students and staff at Father Leo Green will gather in the gym for our Remembrance Day Service. We would like to extend the invitation to you,
the parents, to join us for this special service. This year, Father Leo Green has a special request: if your child is a boy scout, girl scout, or cadet, they are encouraged to wear their uniform to the service. If you are a member of the armed forces, please consider joining us dressed in your uniform. The grades 1A, 1B & 3A will be leading the prayers on this day.
Chapters Indigo Adopt-A-School We are happy to announce that this year, with the support of many people in our community, we were
able to raise enough money to buy 356 books for our
school and classroom libraries through this wonderful
program. We would like to graciously thank the St
Albert Chapters for adopting our school. We would also
like to thank members of our community who donated
funds on-line and in the store.
Student Drop Off/Pick Up Zone The area in front of the school (along 144 Avenue) is marked as a Loading (5-
minute max) Zone. It is intended to be used for student drop-off and pick-up.
Please do not leave your vehicle in this area for more than 5 minutes. This is
also a “no idle” zone so please do not leave your car running. We have
billboard signs to remind everyone that this is a 5 min loading zone area.
Also, the parking lot at Father Leo Green is only for Edmonton Catholic School
District staff.
Please be respectful and courteous to all of our FLG family members and
share the parking that we do have.

dressed appropriately for the weather. Please label all new winter wear with your child’s name so
that it can be returned easily if lost. Students who are ill should remain at home until they feel well
enough to participate in all school activities, recess included.

In addition to these newsletters, we will continue to share information through the Father Leo Green
Twitter Account.
We also send text messages as reminders for upcoming events and activities.
Classroom teachers email weekly communication logs to the parents/guardians of their students. These
documents outline the learning activities that are taking place in your child’s classroom as well as
reminders for any school wide events or activities. If you do not have access to a computer, please let us
know.
A sincere thank you to our School Council for organizing a truly wonderful Hallowe’en

Edmonton Catholic Schools Online Financial Budget Survey
YOUR CHILD!
YOUR VOICE!
Edmonton Catholic Schools believes it is essential to involve parents in
providing input into the budget process. In preparation for the upcoming
2018-2019 budget it is important that the district gather as much information as possible. Therefore, as a parent of
Edmonton Catholic Schools, your feedback will provide a valuable contribution in the decision-making process.
We would like to gather your input through an online survey. The survey can be accessed through the District
Website, School Website, Powerschool or by using the URL address provided.
URL Address: Click on the following link or enter the address in the web browser http://financialservicessurvey.ecsd.net/
District Website: Go to http://ecsd.net then go to the slider indicating the Online Financial Budget
Survey and follow the directions.
Powerschool: Parents log on to Powerschool as you normally would to check your child's progress. Once
in Powerschool, click on the tab "Financial Budget Survey". This tab will take you directly to the online
survey.
The survey is open from November 14th to November 28th, 2017. We encourage all families to fill out the survey. The
survey will only take a few minutes to complete.
Survey results will be shared with the Edmonton Catholic School District Budget Committee in January for
consideration during the 2018-2019 budget process.
Spirits, Saints, and Souls. The early days of November within the Catholic Church mark the
month for which we commemorate the memory of all the faithfully departed. While All Hallow’s
Eve spurs the popular imagination with Spirits, this is really intended to prime the mind and
heart to focus on the Saints and Souls who have lived and passed. These Saints and Souls are the
faithfully departed - our brothers and sisters in Christ who have gone before us. Initially it may
be emotionally difficult to let go of them due to their physical absence; however, eventually we
come to realize their spiritual presence remains which both offers and reminds us of a different
form of human connection. This is why we need to remember them in prayer and also request
they pray for us too. Contrary to a popular misconception, we pray not to them, but rather for and
through them. Together we help comprise what is such a central element to our Christian Faith:
the Communion of Saints. In so doing, we understand how there is continuity between this world
and that of the next. This is a long standing tradition in the Church which shows how life in
Christ is indeed eternal and our relationship with Him extends into a community. Those who
have died in the peace of Christ are still alive in and with Him because of their Faith and ours
which continues. To help ensure this, it is the work of every member of the Church, which
includes all the baptized believers - both living and deceased - to help bring people into a
relationship with Christ and an intimacy with God. And so each time we celebrate Mass in
School or on Sundays, we remember that the entire mystical Body of Christ is present, together.
Effectively, because our departed have already arrived at the place to which we are also seeking
to be, they can therefore offer the inspiration, insight, and guidance we need, in response to the
prayers we make for ourselves and for them. Though death can be hard, it is a part of this life,
and which also leads to the next. And so November is a gift to recognize and remember those
good souls who have died & are yet still very much in spirit with us.
Most sincerely yours in Christ,
Fr. Dean Dowle
LISTENING AND DAILY ATTENTIVENESS TO THE WORD OF GOD
On September 14, 2017, Archbishop Richard Smith issued his Pastoral Letter - Living in the Word of God
to the clergy and the lay faithful of the Archdiocese of Edmonton. In his message, the Archbishop recalled
his baptism:
“On May 10th, 1959, at just two weeks of age, I was taken by my parents to our parish church to be baptized. It is
without question the best and most important action my mother and father ever undertook on my behalf. By the
sacrament of Baptism, I was washed with the mercy of God the Father and given the gift of new life through a
communion of love and friendship with his Son, Jesus Christ. Furthermore, it brought me into the community of people
who follow Jesus Christ as Lord and united me to them by the bestowal of the Holy Spirit, who dwells within all the
baptized. With the passage of time my gratitude for being a member of the Church has steadily deepened. It is truly
beautiful to be a Catholic. What begins at Baptism is a way of life that is shaped by sacred teachings, strengthened by
sacramental celebration, and marked by loving service of neighbor” (Archbishop Richard Smith).
It is true that at Baptism, our life in Christ begins. Baptism makes us disciples; to respond to his call to
follow him. Yet what does it mean to follow Jesus? Simply, it is a matter of listening and doing. An
authentic disciple of Jesus Christ is one who first listens to his Word and then puts it into practice. In the
Archbishop’s Pastoral Letter, we are offered insight as to how we can listen carefully to the Word of God
and, in a shared commitment, put it into practice.
Saint Paul teaches that faith comes from what is heard, meaning that the first act of the disciple is to listen
carefully to what God is saying in the words of Jesus. The hearing of Christ's Word demands a silent and
attentive listening. Yet, we live in a world surrounded by noise and confusion, thus we must work
particularly hard to cultivate that inner stillness to hear and to be transformed by the Word of God. On
the Archbishop’s part, he suggests that we take as little as ten minutes each day to read a few lines of the
Bible; to pray together at mealtime; and to create a prayer space in the home:
“I encourage families, too, to listen together to the Word of God. Through a careful listening to this Word, families
encounter the Lord in their very midst and hear within the depths of their hearts his assurance of love and call to holiness
and service. Here I suggest three simple ways by which our families can make the Word of God central to their daily
living and draw from it guidance and peace: Grace at mealtime, creation of a prayer space in the home, and family
discussion of the Sunday Homily” (Archbishop Richard Smith).
As families, it is especially important to gather and to reflect deeply upon the Word of God. In this way
we will not only support one another as we grow in our relationship with Jesus, but we will also encourage
one another to embrace the common mission that is ours in virtue of our Baptism into his Church.

“My soul shall glory in the Lord, for He has been so good to me.” (Taste and See, James Moore JR.)
The hymns which we sing in our liturgies and in the Mass are often rooted in scripture. The verse shared above comes from one
of our most beautiful Eucharistic songs, and is based on Psalm 34. This psalm is one of thanksgiving in which the psalmist is
praising God for deliverance from troubles. When you are struck by the beauty of the message in songs at church, consider
looking at the reference at the end of the song in the hymnal and reading the corresponding scripture passage!
Archbishop Smith has released a pastoral letter to the Archdiocese that will provide special focus for our faith community over
the next 5 years. It is deeply grounded in the words of Pope Francis, “These are the two conditions in order to follow Jesus: to
listen to the word of God, and to put it into practice. This is the Christian life – nothing more. Simple, simple.” (Homily at Daily
Mass, September 23, 2014)
You can read the pastoral letter, watch a video titled Archbishop Smith’s Pastoral letter in 60 Seconds, and find other resources
at http://caedm.ca/Letter. Beginning with this month’s newsletter, we will also be including highlights of sections of the
pastoral letter for your information and consideration.
We are very pleased to welcome our newly elected Board of Trustees: Ward 71-Terry Harris, Ward 72-Sandra Palazzo, Ward 73-
Carla Smiley, Ward 74-Debbie Engel, Ward 75-Alene Mutala, Ward 76-Lisa Turchansky, and Ward 77-Laura Thibert. Their very
first Public Meeting was held on October 30. The Trustees were sworn in and held their Organizational Meeting. Trustee Harris
was elected as Chairperson for the upcoming year, and Trustee Palazzo was elected as Vice-Chairperson for the same period.
Our Alberta Education Accountability Pillar Results Report, which is our report card from the province, was released a few weeks
ago. Our results, which are outstanding, reflect our commitment to continuous growth! Visit our website to view the overall

Catholic Education Sunday is being celebrated across Alberta on November 5th this year. We celebrate Catholic education for
the advantage, richness, and success that Catholic education brings to our students and families. Please check our website and
our social media each day during the week of October 30 – November 3 as we highlight different aspects of what makes
Edmonton Catholic Schools so great for our children and families. You can also join us on Catholic Education Sunday
(November 5) at St. Joseph Basilica for the Commissioning Mass for our new Edmonton Catholic Schools Board of Trustees at
12:15 pm. Bishop Bittman will be presiding.

One of the significant characteristics of Catholic education is that, in addition to having our faith permeated in all aspects of the
school day, all students also have courses in Religious Education. In Elementary and Junior High, all students have Religion
classes within their schedules. At the High School level, students are expected to complete 9 credits in Religious Education
within their program, and which contribute to Alberta Education's criteria of 100 earned credits required as the minimum for
graduation.
We are pleased to begin sharing a new video series for students and parents on Staying Safe in a Digital World. Our first video is
titled Privacy. The series features our STAY (School Team Advisor for Youth) Officer, Rick Cole, who will offer simple tips on how
to be sure that we remain safe in the online world. You can access this video by visiting www.ecsd.net and clicking on the video
title on our banner. We will use social media to share the release of future episodes.
In this month which is dedicated to remembrance and peace, I will leave you with a tweet from Pope Francis: “Let us bring the
flame of Christ’s love to humanity which needs true happiness and peace so much.” (October 20/17)
Sincerely, Joan Carr Superintendent
