St. Patrick School Plan

The St. Patrick School Plan addresses the three district priorities. Input was sought from parents and staff and a comprehensive School Plan has been developed. Parents or community members can obtain a copy of this document from the school office. Each Elk Island Catholic School has developed a school-wide instructional focus to assist schools in maximizing student achievement. Elements of this focus are included in each of the three district priorities.
