RYCOR - New Online Form and Payment System
Link to RYCOR
Rycor now accepts Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) as a payment method! This new option provides greater convenience and flexibility, ensuring a seamless and accessible payment experience for all users.
Families can now choose EFT as a payment option alongside existing methods when making payments through Rycor. Transfers are accepted from all Canadian bank accounts, ensuring a seamless and flexible payment experience. We believe this enhancement will improve ease of use and better accommodate the diverse needs of our school communities.
Allergies
A friendly reminder that St. Kevin's Junior High is an Allergy Aware School. We have allergies at school to tree nuts, peanuts, and shellfish. Also we are a SCENT FREE school
School Parking Lot and Grounds
Please take extra caution when driving on and around our school grounds. If you are dropping off or picking up your child at anytime, we do ask that you park in the DESIGNATED PARKING SPOTS ONLY. We are asking that you NOT park near our school gates, on crosswalks or in the traffic lanes. It is very important that we keep the lane of "moving" traffic "moving", and that this is not blocked by parked cars. We do appreciate your cooperation in keeping all of our students safe
