 A picture taken from Spirit Point, Friday. 

Good evening everyone,

 My apologies for getting this out late. I was at my masters course yesterday and today in the Fort. I am smarter now,  better fit to lead you all, hopefully not leading you over to "Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump." LOL

 Compliments to you:

 Mark Ramsankar, ATA president, said some really great things about Spirit and about you at the induction. Pat on the back to you! He noticed you all were exceptional people and our kids too. 

 Congrats to our Sara who was inducted into the ATA. We are thrilled for you and are are so happy you got your start with us.

 #Math PD happens on Monday. Geri is in the back conference room meeting with the teams then the math team. 

 # Family finances Math Night happens on Tuesday Night we are going to have soooo much fun with this. We are playing real life with families. We could use a couple more people to man tables for us, would you like to take this in, promises to be a woot. 

 # Pancake breakfast happens this Tuesday. Please encourage your kids to order the money gores to a great cause the Lymphoma Society. They can not order off of their lunch card, can they Shelly and Sheena you guys can best answer that for us.

    Am I the only idiot who thought these pics were actually of Spirt Trail? I questioned the amount of red leaves but then though nope, I bet there must be some maples over yonder...and then I saw the wolves!!! My dad used to joke that all my years of dying my hair blonde had really paid off...today is a great example of money well spent ������

Report Card Week

Report Card Week A terrific way to catch up with our kids, a time to think deeply about that student and where they are going. A teacher always asks themselves , how well do i know that student. If the answer is not well, we seek to get to know them better next semester. Report Cards are valuable to the student and their families and the process is so valuable to us. We can always do better.  Thank Yous Thanks  so much to all of you who took in the PD last week. From chatting with you my thoughts were the sessions were valuable.  Thanks  to all who are organizing the Wing Ding in High Level this Tuesday. Many local organizations are coming in to inform our students.  Thanks to all who made student contacts this week. Talking personally to our kids seems to make a difference.  Staffing We are close to hiring for the position in Fort. Monday or Tuesday I will be able to announce it.  M...

Action

This week in our CRM's we talked about our students and assigned actions to several. We are starting to figure this out;  people are coming forward to volunteer to do that action. In the past, we sat back waiting to see who might be assigned. Now, you are developing relationship with these students and are saying, " I can do that, I know her pretty well." or " I'd like to try to make contact with him, I have a soft spot for him."  That is the way CRM's are supposed to function, thank you for stepping up. CRM's ground us for the month to come. No kid is falling through the cracks without us grabbing his or her arm and trying to pulling him back on track. Wow! Cliche ville there! All English teachers are cringing!  Congratulations Congratulations to Eva, Bonnie, Dean and Jenine. The numbers in our buildings are finalized, that is a lot of work for you and we appreciate your patience.  Congratulations to Chad and Liz for such great numbers at ...

While on the airplane, I looked quizzically at the woman beside me wearing a mask... Ha! Turns out She knew germs were flying around that plane. Now, I have those sickness germs and she's partying somewhere! Note to self...masks look ridiculous but keep you germ-free!!!  Or perhaps the story goes this way... she had some horrible cold and it seeped out from her mask to infect me... Either way, she has a part to play in this mini illness, of that I am sure!   Lots going on this week- please remember that we are 1 week from May our kids need to pour it on these next few weeks.   Stanley Cup playoffs are continuing with just a few rounds to finish. Go Toronto, go Winnipeg!  Report cards are due Wed they go home on Friday. Parent-teacher interviews are happening in the weeks ahead. Those dates will be solidified this week.  PAT part A is in for grade nines. That is written middle of May. Nait comes to High Level. A counselo...
