Student Exam Preparation
To assist our grade 9-12 students with their mindfulness preparation ahead of exams, we are assisting with the following initiatives:
Mindfulness preparation - Our Mindfulness room will be opened each day during exams beginning at 7:30 am. This is a chance to take some quiet time to reflect/regroup ahead of, or after exams.
Peer Pal Packages - Our All Saints Peer Helper group is putting together care packages for our grade 9 students who are going through exams for the first time. They will include:
- A pencil - to keep them sharp
Smarties - to remind them how smart they are- Bubble Wrap - for immediate stress relief
- A Stress Ball - for long term stress relief
- Study Tips (business card size)
Colouring Sheet - for mindfulness- Tips to help them relax and
destress (info graphic)
Student Immunization
Some parents/guardians will have received a notice from Ottawa Public Health (OPH) advising them that their child’s immunization records are incomplete. If you have received such a notice, please be advised that OPH’s approach is that any child not in compliance will be suspended from school beginning on February 8th, and will be unable to return until OPH advises the school that he/she may be readmitted. If you have any questions, please contact Ottawa Public Health at 613-580-6744.

Best Buy Technology Specials for All Saints Parents and Students
All Saints
We have established an optional purchase program with Best Buy for those who are interested in purchasing their own device. Parents and students may purchase any brand of device from any company as all devices will work on school network . Some of these devices are exclusive to our Best Buy partnership and not available to others through Best Buy.
The technologies listed on the Best Buy portal are only recommendations. Best Buy is offering discounts on protection plans and other supplies and peripherals but parents may choose to purchase from any vendor. As you will see on the Portal, we are recommending Chromebooks as a simple, safe, efficient and cost effective device. We also help equip these with Board purchased software through the student Google accounts and the use of the student portal. You can access the letter home describing the program in greater detail here.
Please contact the school if you have any questions.
