First Springish Monday Memo

Collaborative Response Meetings

Just when we start asking questions about our students, wondering what's up with them, and questioning each other about kids...  it's the perfect time to have a CRM meeting. It is time to catch up and take action with some students. CRM meetings will take place in High Level and Rainbow Lake this week. Getting together to purposefully discuss our students sets the course for the next two months. We started strong and would like to finish just as strongly. 



Thank You

Thank you to the High Level staff for hosting three Nait representatives. Students learned about the programs and so did we. Students and staff built a spring box. The best part of the visit was listening to the instructor's stories of how they came to be interested in woodworking. 

Thank you to Holly and Bonnie for attending the community gardens meeting. High Level Learning Store will host a community garden meeting later this month. At this meeting, people will share seedlings and starter plants. High level is excited to get our gardens growing. 

Thank you to Janet in Zama she's been so patient with me. I have meant to go out there twice and have canceled. 

Thanks you to teachers for completing the report cards. Seems we just finish a set then are producing another, the good news is that parents and students know where they stand. Thanks so much for all the time and effort put in by EVERYONE to get them out. It really is a team effort.

Grads- a number of our students have already qualified for their diplomas. Diploma marks, for the most part, were good. We are excited for those students that's a huge accomplishment. Huge thanks go out to Petra, Alex, Eva and Holly for all the work they have done with our grads. I know you do a lot of chasing for these kids. We appreciate all you do. 

Budget- we are on track for learning Stores and have lots left in Zama ( so sad)
