 Instruction and Programming

 Accountability survey plus Our School survey- This week is a great week for us to have students complete the accountability survey and our school survey. It takes a half hour to complete. Students will be directed to the accountability survey then when that is co0mpleted there is a link to the Our school survey. Accountability data goes to the government and the Our School data comes to us. We need as many students as possible to complete this survey. When completed they receive two success bucks. Secretaries will have the codes. 

 Teachers and parents are required to complete the Accountability survey. We are having a parent night in La Crete on Feb 7th and one in High Level on February 21st, these are also parent-teacher nights. 

 Diplomas are complete- thanks so much to Darren, Jenine and Petra who put a lot of their time into prepping the diplomas and ensuring they are done in an organized, secure manner. Thanks to Eva and Bonnie who make up sittings for these kids and thanks to Eric and Alex for preparing your students well for their diplomas.

Safety- Please ensure your students know where the alternate exits are in your buildings. I just looked at ours this morning and they are snow covered. We couldn't get out if we tried, So please be sure your exits are accessible. We are getting at ours this morning. 

 Progress reports which are just a compilation of student marks this quarter, go out on February 9th. They need to be done and into me by Tuesday, February 6th. 

 Zama City School Trustees meet with the community for a community consultation on February 20th. Please do NOT say Zama is closing none of that has been decided at all. Zama City School is under review. Everyone will be heard before any decision is made by the School Trustees. Until then, Janet and I are organizing things, filing through all four classrooms and disposing of papers from as far back as 1972. we are preserving photos,  older books anything with history.  

Good news

 Gail Stolz, the student wellness worker for HLLS, had her operation on Tuesday and is now back in her own room at the U of A. She had a tumor in her jaw. We are thrilled she is back to texting us, hoping she will be transported to High Level soon.

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
