Start time 7:59

Well we sure had a fun week last week. High level had the celebration of Paul having his second baby girl. Janellis is the coolest name and I can't wait to meet her! 
Julie got to spend time with her parents. They got to witness an early snow. 
Petra is wearing unusual footwear these days due to a double fracture in her foot. Note to self do not hurdle over the gas hose- go around! We are thrilled to have her back with us this morning.
 Alex went to the city for a Social Studies conference. Every conference you go to makes you a little smarter. Alex is brilliant after taken in the OEC and SS in one month. Such great PD hope he enjoyed it. 
Bonnie went to the city with some friends. Boy did we miss her!! Apparently she knows everything that goes on in this place! 

 So that meant we had many people covering for each other and I thank you to the moon and back for that. This is a staff who would do anything for each other and our students see that. Thanks again for being you!! 

 Zama was quieter  last week, though our hearts go out to Janet Hackett our Parent council chair. Her mom passed away last week. She went to PEI for the funeral.

 Time to check on your students. Haven't heard from them in a while- well this is the week. Report cards come out in just one month and we want to be on top of what your students are doing. 

 IPP's are due right away. There are many. Thanks for accomodating for your students. Giving them audio files and extra time on tests as well as sitting with them to complete assignments works. I assisted a students with English and learned a ton about advertising.

 Websites are up are running. Thanks to our website gals for that! The sites look great. Now to add a few more pictures and we will be set.

That was 50 minutes with many interruptions. Definitely not the fastest blog on earth!!

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.

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
