About Me

Hello everyone! My name is Ricardo Alvarez and I am a new teacher. I am very excited and motivated to teach and learn along side everyone and to have a great experience this year. I have a very diverse back ground in instruction and education. I was an air cadet for many years as a teenager and I was given the chance to earn my glider pilot license. I was also very involved with summer survival camps. On my spare time I like to skateboard and read poetry. Recently, I joined a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu club which I am currently competing with. I went to York University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in History. Teachers college was one of the greatest experiences of my life as it has shown me that my true passion in life is to teach. I am very lucky to have been given the chance to show this enthusiasm with you all and I look forward to seeing you in the next few weeks!

Welcome Parents and Students



Welcome grade 6's and parents!

I am extremely excited to starts the year and finaly get cracking at the books!. I know you've all a wonderful summer but now its time for the real fun to start! As i have said in my profile I have a very structured and team oriented background with the cadet organization. I think of my class as a team because it will be a very inclusive and informative environment. We, as teachers, parents and students will be the most important team of your lives. Education means a great deal to me so I will expect the same from my students. I am the team leader as the teacher of the class but my role is no more integral than any of yours. I also have high expectations from you all so I know I will see eager and motivated students on the first day! 

Now parents, this team is nothing without your cooperation! I will be keeping in touch with you through phoncalls, agenda entries, and interviews. If those seem to be cumbersome at times don't worry. I am confident that you will all be checking this blog daily to see whats new and exciting in the class room.  If you have any questions or concerns feel free to email me at janricrdo8@hotmail.com. Here are a few websites that may be helpful in getting to know what our goals are as catholic teachers and our goals and expectaions from our students.


Team Motto
To learn - To serve - To advance
