We said farewell to St. Michael and St. Peter Schools last school year, but we’re still using those buildings for a few more months of learning.
Until St. Raphael School moves into it’s new building in January 2026, we are starting the school year with two temporary St. Raphael School sites:
- St. Raphael East (former St. Michael) Grades 5–8
- St. Raphael West (former St. Peter) PreK–Grade 4
This lets students stay with their classroom friends and maintain their learning communities as they do every year. Principal Tammy Appell will oversee both sites, with a steady and enthusiastic staff at each location.
Students who live within walking boundaries of the former St. Peter and St. Michael Schools will continue to walk to that site. Students eligible for RCSD Transportation to the former St. Peter and St. Michael Schools will ride the bus to that site.
Then, we will bus students to their assigned school building.
For example, a student in Grade 6 who lives within the former St. Peter walking boundary will walk to St. Raphael West (the former St. Peter), then ride the bus over to St. Raphael East (the former St. Michael). This will keep older siblings and younger siblings together for transportation between home and school. After school, the same will happen in reverse.
Anyone with questions can email the St. Raphael School office at straphaelschool@rcsd.ca. St. Raphael office staff will return the week of August 19, and will respond to emails then.
