School Programs and Servicesol Calendar 2004

In addition to the Manitoba curriculum taught from Kindergarten to Grade 8, our students are taught a religious education program. Students, teachers and parents celebrate monthly School Masses in our church.

We offer a computer program taught by a computer specialist. We have a full time resource teacher and library technician and part time music and French specialists.  We are pleased to offer the Accelerated Integrated Method (AIM) a revolutionary new approach to second language that uses stories and music for the teaching of French.

St. John Brebeuf School offers a Before and After School Program ("BASC") in our school from 7:30 - 8:30 in the morning and from 3:20 - 5:30 after school.  Please click here for information about the program, including a registration form.   

• If you need to call the After School Program after 4:00 pm regarding pick-up of your child(ren), please call the school at 489-2115 and use either extension 239 (Library) or 240 (Hallway Phone) as the School Offices closes at 4:00 pm.  Please continue to call until one of the staff from the program answers the phone.  Do not leave a message at either of these numbers or the main office as these messages will not be retrieved until the next school day.  

• To keep our program fun and interesting, we occasionally take the children to the Gym or outside to the playground.  If you do not find your child(ren) in the Library, please check these other locations. 
• In the event of an emergency we may be required to relocate our students.  Our School Emergency Relocation site is Ecole J.B. Mitchell School, located at 1720 John Brebeuf Place.  
• Please be on time when picking up your children after school.  An additional charge will be levied if our staff is required to stay past our closing time.  Please be sure to pay your fees to Noëlla Leeman in the Parish Office between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:00 pm.
