Biography of St. Alphonsus Ligouri St. Alphonsus School Statement As a , our mission is to educate students to live in accordance with the teachings of the Gospel, to embrace and celebrate learning as a life-long journey and to build community by caring for others, contributing to society and being responsible stewards of the earth. History St. Alphonsus School first opened its doors on January 10, 1921 to 67 students from grades 1 - 8. The school was located at the corner of Munroe and Brazier.

These behaviours will be addressed in the following manner: The principal will meet with those involved to determine the nature and extent of the infraction (staff members and witnesses will be consulted if necessary). Consequences will be determined, ranging from a student action plan to an immediate suspension depending on the nature and severity of the infraction. An Incident Report will be completed, signed by the student and principal and kept on record. Parents will be notified. They will be informed of their child’s behaviour and of the course of action the school is taking. A meeting with the parents will be arranged if necessary. If unacceptable behaviours continue or in serious situations in which an immediate suspension is warranted, the School Board will be involved in determining the appropriate course of action up to and including expulsion of the student from the school. Parents/guardians have the right to appeal the disciplinary consequences by submitting a written request for a meeting with the School Board. Please note: Students’ age, special needs and/or special circumstances may be taken into consideration when addressing some bottom line issues. It is our hope that the philosophy and practice outlined above will become a part of our thinking at St. Alphonsus so that our school can be a place of growth and learning: a place where we can be the best that we can be. School Organization St. Alphonsus School Inc. is an independent, Catholic, parochial school. Although it is situated within the boundaries of the River East Transcona School Division, it functions independently of that division and of the public school system. It is a member of the Catholic Schools Commission: the division of Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of St. Boniface. As a parochial school, it is part of the parish. St. Alphonsus is an accredited school; meaning that it receives funding (albeit partial) from the provincial government. In order to receive this funding, the school must teach the provincial curriculum, hire certified teachers and adhere to certain provincial guidelines. Additional funds needed to operate the school are acquired through tuition fees and the fundraising efforts of the school board and parent association. The School as a Registered Charity The school is a registered charity. Donations to the school, including a portion of tuition fees, can be claimed for income tax purposes and all or part of one’s United Way donations may be donated to the school.
