Principal’s Message
Blessed Sacrament School
What a fantastic April we just finished at Blessed Sacrament School.
First, congratulations to the Sr. High girls handball team for winning the Provincial Tier 2
Championships hosted by BSS. This is the third year in a row that they have claimed this title.
We are so proud of the girls, their coaches and manager – it takes a huge commitment to
compete and win at this level. The boys had some very close games and just missed making
the playoff round – wait until next year.
I would also like to thank all of the parents, staff, students and community members who
volunteered and helped to make hosting the 16 team Provincial Handball championships such a
success. Fantastic job! Thank you to all of the businesses that offered support as well as CFB/
ASU for the use of their gymnasium for the event. We had overwhelming compliments from so
many athletes, coaches and fans that travelled to Wainwright.
I hope you had a chance to see the play, Alice in Wonderland (and back again). The cast,
including 25 BSS students, and crew did a great job – what a display of talent. The many hours
of rehearsal resulted in another successful production. Thank you to all.
As we head into the month of May, things will continue to buzz around Blessed Sacrament
School. Behind the scene, the planning for next year has begun. Budgeting and timetabling
followed by setting up classes and schedules, so much to get done before the end of June. As
we have done in the past, Blessed Sacrament School administration will again consider written
requests from parents when setting up class lists. Please see a note in this newsletter outlining
the procedure that is used when class lists are being made. If you would like us to consider any
requests from you, please submit them in writing to one of the admin team no later than May
22, clearly stating the reason for your request.

*Class size guidelines as outlined by Alberta Education.
*Special Needs of specific students as identified through the assessment procedures outlined by Alberta
Education.
*Boy/Girl Ratio
*Relative ages of the students.
*Parents/guardians Input: - Parental/Guardian input in regards to the educational needs of the student will be
considered in the classroom assignment for their child. This information must be presented in writing to Blessed
Sacrament School Administration.
The above criterion serves as a guideline only, any deviation from this procedure will be at the discretion of
Blessed Sacrament School Administration.
