Image result for masks for illness

 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. Those dates will be solidified this week. 

 PAT part A is in for grade nines. That is written middle of May.

 Nait comes to High Level. A counselor and two journeyman carpenters are coming to demo. They start at 9:30 tomorrow morning at our school. We encourage students from all schools to attend to see if Nait is an option for them. 

 Diplomas for June have been set up and kids should have been dropped in there. If I student needs an accommodation you will let me know. If a student is writing digitally you know the paperwork to fill out. Keeping up with this helps us tremendously come diploma time. 

 Staffing- we will notice that the advertisements for the full-time job in La Crete and the .6 in High Level will come out in the next week or two. I'm sure they will be filled quickly with the most qualified candidates. 

 Reminder that if you are taking time off, we sure do appreciate it not being compressed into the month of June ( our busiest time). I will say no if it interferes with the learning of the students.

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

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
