Dear Families and Caregivers,
On behalf of the Waterloo Catholic District School Board, I wish you and your loved ones a joyful and blessed Easter season.
Easter is, at its heart, a story of hope. It reminds us that even in the face of struggle, loss, and uncertainty, there is the possibility of renewal, of rising again into something beautiful and new.
This past year has not been without its challenges. Like all communities, we have navigated difficulty together, and through it all, we have been inspired and renewed by the remarkable children who fill our schools with energy, curiosity, and joy. Ensuring every child feels known, safe, and loved is our greatest privilege, and one we are grateful to share with you.
But as we look toward Easter, we are also filled with hope, because of what we see happening in our schools every day.
We are in the first year of our Multi-Year Strategic Plan, a shared vision that puts your children at the centre of everything we do. We are focused on Learning, helping every student reach their full potential. On Serving, being truly present and responsive to the needs of your families. And on Belonging, ensuring that every child who walks through our doors knows they are welcome, cherished, and valued.
This is the promise of Catholic education. It is rooted in faith, animated by love, and renewed every day by the dedicated educators and staff who serve your children with joy.
As you gather with your families this Easter, whether at church, at the table, or simply together, we hope you feel the warmth of this season and the knowledge that our schools walk this journey with you.
From our family to yours: Happy Easter.
With hope and gratitude,
Annalisa Varano
Director of Education
Waterloo Catholic District School Board
