I'm going to race with myself to see if I can get this done quickly today. Time 6:12- Go! I have a cold that is kicking my butt and I have a big butt!! 

 Thanks to everyone for putting out really informative report cards. Learning Stores managed to catch up with several parents as did Mark in Zama. This week we will reach out a little more to those students we missed.

 Events/Happenings/ Notable things
  • Cat tests are taking place in Zama this week. 
  • Several Learning Store students will be tested using the Woodcock Johnson test. We need this in order to ask for accommodations for our students on Diplomas. 
  • SPED ASSIST is down. I think I crashed it when I asked to have access for all five schools. opps.
  • We are doing grade 9 PATs with several of our Learning Store students in May and June. 
  • Grad letters will be going out at all schools this week. We are letting kids know if they are at risk or not.
  • Copyright Laws- We need to reiterate that the orange booklet does exist and you should each take a read to update yourself on copyright laws and guidelines. 
  • March 17th is our PD day where everyone is expected to come to High Level for a staff Pd day. EA's will be give a day in lieu of this one. Just let me know when you want to take it.
Thanks so much to you

  • Thanks so much to Alex for doing his infamous cooking with the students. It was such a joy to hear the kids laughing and talking about food of all things. 
  • Thanks so much to Paul and Jean who did some international cooking in High Level. The school smelled fabulous and the students said they really enjoyed the classes but, didn't enjoy the fish so much! 
  • Thanks so much to all who put together the grad letters. It is a requirement by Alberta Ed to let students know where they stand in order to graduate.
  • Surprise! Pasi looks way different!!! Go on and play the three dots in the corner will get you the DAR. It took Petra and I a little while to figure that one out. Soon we will love the update right now, I don't. 
  •  Thanks to Alex and Darren for helping in training Michael. He will need our assistance for the next two or three months. I'm sure he will learn something new everyday. 

Treat your body well this week. Let those germs know they are not welcome!!

    Thank you Anne for allowing us to view a "Cool" or "Hot" perspective on having a cold - isn't life grand!

    I'd rather have a cold than do housework. At least with a cold I get to lay around and get sucked into the Netflix vortex!

    I would rather have a cold than do report cards! Although as I have been reminded on occasion; I only have 4 report cards.

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

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.

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
