Could this happen????

Congratulations to the Oilers!!

 Interesting a six goal lead wasn't enough for me to feel comfortable, wonder why?? Congratulations to Ottawa who will represent in the next round. 

 Staffing

 Thanks to Alex and Petra who attended the ADLC conference in Edmonton. We learned that almost all Outreach centers are using ADLC like we are. That was good news.

Events

 Part A of the Provincial Achievement tests take place this week for grade six and grade 9 students. 

 Tuesday- Grade nine - Mark Zama
Thursday- grade six- Mark Zama
Thursday- grade nine French- Eric HL- I picked up the exam in Edmonton

 This week Zama will finalize their field trip book the bus and get the permissions needed for the instructional field trip. 

 Awards dinner is coming up at the end of the month. 

 Board presentation- I would like to interview a few kids and present that to the board with some data. Can you think of kids whose story should be told?

 Graduation- we should be informing kids who are at risk of not graduating. We sent out letters and need to make contact to let them know they need to complete 90 % of the course work to walk.  

 High Level is having "Nacho" regular wing Ding. Gail will do the color spectrum with the students and staff who want. It is a self reflective tool design to get you, to know you better. Let's see how this goes and decide whether it is something you want to use. 

 Last night many counsellors and admin met with the recruiters at the Mirage. They are eager to assist us in the North. Today HL staff should drop by to see what schools have to offer. 

 Sorry for the short blog. I'm off to continue  set up that expo.

  Congrats to Zama who received $2000 priority funding money
Congrats to High level who received $5000 for their gardening project. Central office was very generous this year. 

 Thanks

 Huge thanks goes out to Landon and Tristan who helped set up for the EXPO. Their help was appreciated. 

 Have an excellent week.

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
