Long Weekend

 Here's a look at the trail sign on the Fortner Trails by the airport. We've been working on this for three years already. Check it out!!
In High Level this morning, we were doing a landscaping session with students from High Level Public and our HLLS students. Students learned about plants and growth regions. They also learned they can take something that looks like nothing and make it look great. They worked hard painting, moving wood and fertilizing. Tomorrow they will continue with their work designing landscapes and will build raised planters for seniors to access. So much more than just planting and work going on... they are chatting away and putting their designs down on the computer. Set them free and they might surprise you.

 * An aside- did you know many of those kids didn't even know the name of the kid they had been in class with for 6 weeks. That is so ridiculous. I hope that doesn't happen in our schools. Kids should know who is who.  

  Thank yous

 Thanks to Eva for arranging coverage while Alex was away. 
Thanks to Julie for coming in for Google training on Thursday. 
Thanks to Alex  and Julie for arranging meetings with Fort Public and La Crete Public. 
Thanks to John Thurston for arranging an amazing field trip to the ponds for the Zama kids. John said to pass along a thank you to Mark for helping out so much. 
Thanks to Gail a great gathering of people at the Student Advisory Meeting. many people from organizations throughout our area met and shared ideas. 

 Thanks to many community people who worked on the High level trails for 6 hours on Saturday. Here's a picture of Marissa from Norbord.

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.  My records show everyone here this week.  Anne's schedule Monday at

Speedy Memo

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 counselor and two journeyman carpenters are coming to

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
