Tis the season

Tis the season for...

 Walking in the rain,not avoiding it
planting something
going to a golf course- you don't have to play  although playing is fun-but go have lunch there- golf courses are beautiful!!
basking in the sunshine
just listening to the summer sounds
stopping for long periods and chatting to people - people arent in such a rush in the summer months
enjoying iced drinks
watching the bugs do what they do- mi watched a bee on my flowers for about ten minutes- man hes industrious
do something for someone and don't expect anything in return
go, just go!!!

 We're lucky we have four seasons as quick as they may be- others have only one- how sad!!!

Congratulations

 Congratulations to Eva who was awarded with her 10 years of service award. We appreciate all you do Eva! Thanks for being you. Thanks to Alex and Eric for coming to the dinner and celebrating with her. 

 Almost congrats to Petra who will soon be bringing home a brand new red F 150. She will have the nicest vehicle in our parking lot. We are paving our parking lot just for that f-150!!! 


Staffing

 Eva is out for two days- We have adjusted it so no one is going out to fort on Tuesday. We hope Eva feels better soon. 

 Welcome back Holly! She was out last week and we missed her so.

 Petra is out today and Cathy is in. 

 I am out to GP on a field trip with the Zama kids. We have many many places to go one of which will be GPRC. These kids need exposure to a college early!! 

 I will still have my computer with me and will be answering emails etc...  and will be checking messages. I come back Friday pm. 

Events/ Programming

 Grads are preparing for their big day on June 11th. Please be sure to check with these kids to see that they know what is going on. We will assist in any way we can. 

 Diplomas- we need to make sure everything is in order for the writings in two weeks. We need to ask if they want to write digitally. If so I need to know by Friday to let the techs know. 

 Year end awards. Staff need to consider who might get the awards for merit and academics. 

 Zama kids are doing all of their instructional field trips in one week. Looks like they will be learning a lot this week. 

 There is no summer school, however, Hgh Level is a writing center for Diplomas in August. Students need to register through my pass. Alex will cover week one. I will cover week two. 

 Check out our garden in High level. Its a community garden that our kids spruced up. Over time it will be a spectacular place for the community to access. 

 This is crunch time. There is lots to do now to prepare for a calm finish in all schools. We want to be sure to recognize everyone for their hard work and for their presence at our schools. Being proactive with our marking, meeting with kids, planning for our awards celebrations will make for a great ending to our year. 

 Be sure to make it a great week. Zama will surely have a great time learning new things.

 Sincerely,

 Anne

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...
