St. Elizabeth Catholic Elementary School
Our School & Principal's Welcome
On behalf of the staff at St. Elizabeth Catholic Elementary School , we welcome you to a vibrant and engaging school community.
We have a team of caring, energetic, and dedicated staff members; enthusiastic students; supportive parents; and a dedicated Pastoral Team through St. Mary of the Visitation.
We have the privilege of educating your children in a Catholic education system; this is an important responsibility that we will not take for granted. By partnering with parents and St. Mary of the Visitation, together we will instill the Catholic values that our students need to nurture their faith and to be caring and responsible adults who have a positive impact on the community in which we live.
It is our hope that families will use our website to stay up to date with all the activities that will be taking place throughout the school year. Important information and reminders will also be posted on the website. Please remember to sign up for SchoolMessenger and SafeArrival to receive important updates via email and report your child’s absences.
We look forward to a great year at St. Elizabeth Catholic Elementary School.
Getting Ready for Kindergarten
Welcome to our school community!
We believe that all families are composed of individuals who are competent and capable, curious, and rich in experience. We know our families love their children and want the best for them. Families are experts on their children. They are the first and most powerful influence on children’s learning, development, health, and well-being. Families bring diverse social, cultural, and linguistic perspectives. Families should feel that they belong, are valuable contributors to their children’s learning, and deserve to be engaged in a meaningful way.
Welcome to Kindergarten Event You will be invited to our school this year in the spring, where we can gather in community and get to know each other! There will be an opportunity for you and your child to participate in activities together and ask questions. Let’s get ready to Talk, Create, Read and Play!

Catholic School Advisory Council
Welcome to our Catholic School Advisory Council!
The education of our children is a partnership, working together to build a strong school community. Welcome, we’re glad you’re here.
What is the Role of the Catholic School Advisory Council?
A school council is an advisory body that functions within the parameters of Ministry of Education and Board policy. School councils provide an opportunity and the means to advise the principal and the Board on any matter on the improvement of pupil achievement and to enhance the accountability of the education system to parents/guardians. The ultimate responsibility for the administration and management of the day-to-day operation of the school rests with the principal.
A school council is an important venue for the various stakeholders in education to work in partnership. Its role, in collaboration with the principal, staff, and the community, is to help set the priorities of the school and to enhance learning opportunities, through various activities, for the benefit of our children/students.
What a Catholic School Advisory Council is not
A school council is not a place to pursue your own agenda or advocate for your own child. Individual issues should be pursued through the classroom teacher and/or principal.
