 Instruction and Programming

 Headstrong conference- October 18th- Many schools are sending representatives bussing is paid for, great opportunity for  wellness education. Wellness is a huge component of Outreach and for small communities such as Zama. 

Parent Teacher Interviews- We will have these four times a year in Outreach. Two times a year in Zama. Our first interview for outreach will be in October we just need to nail down a date for each location. 

Staff meeting next Thursday- we will teleconference for 10 minutes then High Level team will work on student Collaborative Response Model, that is our new word for our talks about students. Mark will drive in and we will then have our CMR meeting about our Zama kids. 

La Crete has already held a workshop for their students on computing skills. High Level has done landscaping... go through our Guide to Education and see what it is you see us offering in months to come. 

PGP's are due soon. I have received 3/5, thank you. 

Student contacts- even though you are assigned certain students please continue to fill out student contacts on ALL kids as you visit with them. Sometimes the kids come in when I'm not here, or when you are at lunch or away from school. We are doing great so far, believe we are keeping good track of our kids. 

Thank you for going over and above for our kids. Last week it included a call to Child and Family Services, filling out tax forms for a kid, becoming a member of the Alberta Sports athletic association, meetings with parents, motion sculptures and morning smoothies. That's just a few of the cool things happening in our buildings. We really do rock!

Assigned Timesheets. We will fill these in together. I will sit with each of you and we will each keep track but will compare bi-weekly so we are aware of any discrepancies. Thanks to Darren for the creation of the form. 

Tuesday- Please remember that today is Tuesday. We had an extra long weekend, hope you enjoyed a great meal. 

Iron Chef- Looking for someone to assemble a group of kids to go to the Iron Chef competition in La Crete. If you are interested please let me know.

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
