 Thanks to you for...

 Thanks to Gail for watching over our fish Yoshi. He looks fabulous and still rushes to the edge of the fish bowl to greet everyone! Thanks to Holly and Rick who ensured he was fine over the summer and always made sure his needs were and are met!

 Thanks so much to Bonnie for organizing our conference. It was such a great time mostly because we all got to spend sometime together learning. Everything went really smoothly we appreciate the time she spent doing that for us. 

 Thanks to Julie, Bonnie, Janet, and Eva who took in the website info and this week it will be seen by all!!! The website launches in a few days. It looks great! 

 Thanks to Petra for leading a Google session with a bunch of kids last week. The next session on Digital literacy will be held at the end of October and I will do it. 

 Thanks to Julie and Paul  for helping High Level with their Success Bucks awards program. We have it set up now and are remembering to give students their bucks each day. They really are excited when we explain the program. 

 Thanks to Nicole and Mark for taking the kids out to Rocky Acres farm. It was a gorgeous day and the kids really enjoyed themselves.


Things to do:

 PGP's need to be handed in.

 Education Plans will be uploaded to the Websites soon. 

 Ipp's for each student need to be finalized very soon. You know which students are yours. Any student you are accommodating for requires an IPP. 

 Please take a look at our new websites. They are a great way to see what is happening at each school. 

 Learning Store staff are to chose at least one CTS event that they will lead. Please get that to me by the end of the month. 

 I am building our big calendar for all 5 schools. It will help you to see whats happening over the course of the year. The google session I go to Thursday PM will get me started.

    My favorite Thanksgiving food was my Mom's turkey stuffing - David (my son) and I have worked hard at reproducing this recipe and almost have it! Oh and just a little Turkey tip - do not use a Butterball for this - just before putting Mr. Gobbler in the oven, pour 1 to 2 bottles of beer over him - baste often and enjoy moist turkey with every bite :)

    My aunt makes grasshopper pie for family holiday dinners. When I was a kid, I thought there were actually grasshoppers in it (still ate it, though!), but it's really mint ice cream over a crumbled oreo cookie crust, topped with chocolate shavings and graham cracker crumbles.

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...

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...
