Dear Parents/Guardians:
 


We have been notified by School Resource Officer, Constable Sturgeon, of a sexual assault and abduction that occurred in Barrhaven the morning of Tuesday, January 18th, at 9:45am. The victim, a girl aged 16, was walking along Tartan Drive when she was approached by a man described as in his forties with light brown or olive skin, five feet six inches tall, medium build with dark, shaggy, ear-length hair. He was driving an older model red four-door SUV similar to a Ford Escape or Ford Explorer with no license plate in the front. The assailant was wearing a beige suede coat, blue jeans, work boots, and glasses with thin black rims.

Anyone who might have information on the attack is asked to contact the Ottawa Police Service Sexual Assault/Child Abuse Unit at 613-236-1222, ext 5944 or Crime Stoppers at 613-233-8477 (TIPS).

We have made a general announcement to our student population urging female students to be aware of their surroundings at all times and not to use ear phones when walking. We are also urging our students to walk in pairs or groups for their own safety. The story has run today in the local newspapers.

Our school continues to be a safe environment and we will continue to be vigilant in monitoring our school property.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Norma McDonald

Dear Parents/Guardians:
 


Happy New Year everyone! I have been working on my first Constant Contact Message since returning from the Christmas Break, but today I am delaying that update to share with you news I received last evening. I am being transferred from Mother Teresa High School effective the end of our High School Semester One, February 2nd, 2011, to St. Peter High School in Orleans.

I did not apply for a transfer and was surprised to receive the news that I am being transferred after only two and a half years at Mother Teresa. When I became an administrator nine years ago, I committed myself to go wherever and whenever I was needed, not knowing how difficult it would be to leave an incredible community like Mother Teresa. Please know how much I have enjoyed my time at Mother Teresa High School and how much I have appreciated your support. I will truly miss our students, staff, parents, and community at large. You are a community blessed with diverse cultures and spirituality, tremendous community pride and identity, and a willingness to work together to the benefit of our youth. I have cherished the time I have spent here and thank you for the privilege of working with your children.

My replacement is Ms. Mary-Ellen Agnel, currently the Principal of the Safe Schools Program with our school board based out of St. Ambrose School. I will work with Ms. Agnel over the next two and a half weeks to help transition her into her new role. I know that Ms. Agnel will be a welcomed addition to the Mother Teresa community.

I have shared the news with the students over our Public Announcement System here this morning after meeting with my staff prior to the start of our school day. I will be communicating with you over the next couple of weeks as I send out highlights and upcoming dates.

I do wish everyone the very best for 2011, and thank you again for a wonderful two and a half years!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Norma McDonald
Principal
