Our Grads chose this as a song. Have a listen. Nice way to start the morning. Eva has an exciting week with Raelene graduating. 

New Happenings

 We are so excited for Darren, he has his wish to be back in the classroom. He will be teaching Junior High at Hillcrest. That's a fabulous age to teach, enjoy. 

 An ad for Darren's job will come out today. We welcome new staff to our schools, great to harness the skills of many. 

 Janet and I relocated some materials to other schools in the division. Better that those books are in the hands of kids!  

 Allan Sprelrem will start with us in High Level next week. He will have today as an orientation day in High Level. Allan will work four days a week with us until the end of the school year. Hopes are that he can become comfortable with the course material to have an smooth start in September. 

 Educational Assistant contracts are to be signed this week. I am bringing them around to locations. 

 Vulnerable sector checks need to be done ASAP. NO one gets hired without that. In High level take the time to go and do that. In other locations Scot Leys will let me know when these people are coming to your location. 

 Year end parties start this week. Rainbow Lake's is Tuesday. 
Blue Hills is Tuesday the 12th
HLLS is 15th
LCLS is 19th 
FVLS is 20th
Zama we will figure that one out. Maybe Janet and I will have a party at the Chateau! 
Finishing the year off right is so important. We want to honor everyone. 

 Diplomas take place next week. Part A English and Social. Are you students ready for that. It is our responsibility as teachers to ensure our students are not blindsided. They know what to expect and have had time with us to prepare. 

 Budget report is due today, so is Education Plan.

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.  M...

Action

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 ...

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 counselo...
