Good morning Assumption families – please see below for some items of interest for our community:
Relay for Life – Thursday, May 23, 2024
What is Relay for Life? Since 1999 Relay For Life has united a collective of Canadians, who are a force-for-life in the face of cancer. At Relay For Life events, participants of all ages gather at a community space and take turns walking around a track or path to symbolize the perseverance and action needed to improve lives and change the future of cancer forever. We are raising money for the cancer research and the Canadian Cancer Society.
During Relay, we honour Participants of Hope during our first lap the Lap of Hope. We light luminaries to light the track in memory of those we have lost.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Relay for Life – Silent Auction Links | Assumption Catholic Secondary School, Burlington (hcdsb.org)
Note: A majority of our students will be participating in the Relay for Life. On May 23rd, Period 1 will run as normal. Students will start to get called out of period 1 to begin the Relay for Life. The schedule for the remaining school day will be various department-led study halls for students not participating in the Relay for Life. This will be the opportunity for students to work on upcoming assessment tasks and prepare for culminating activities and final exams with teacher supervision.
Paying the 2024/2025 Student Activity Fees
If you have not paid the Student Activity Fee, please click: SchoolCashOnline.com: Welcome
The Student Activity Fee is an annual fee that is used to offset costs for school initiatives, materials and activities. We can’t run the clubs and activities we do without this fee. Your cooperation with this is appreciated – Thank you!
Student Uniform
With the warmer weather, we have noticed a few issues regarding the school uniform A reminder that students are to be in full school uniform whenever in the building. For our uniform, please note:
•No hats in the building upon entry.
•No slides, Crocs, or flip flops – Safety concerns. Shoes must be closed toe and closed heel.
•No studded jewelry.
•No non-school sweaters or hoodies. Only the Assumption hoodie is permitted.
Thank you.
