 Hoping you all had a lovely weekend and you were able to indulge in some tasty treats. I started walking again in the mornings because of those treats. My best treat was rocking my grandbaby River to sleep several times over the weekend.

Staff Wellness

 It's important that we are well, so we can help our families and the students. Our school division does have access to a Counselor/psychologist, his name is Willard. All staff can access his services. I will post his contact in a separate email. Please know that we would do anything for you (okay within parameters) your wellness matters to us.   

 Please remember we are on a short week here, 4 days. I always say these are the weeks to get things done. To catch up with student contacts, to catch up with marking, inputting marks, organizing.... Love these weeks.

 Thank yous

 Thank you to Chad for assembling some Learner's License materials for Allan and I. We are teaching the course on the 18th. This is not for credit but looks great on that student's resume! 

 Thank you to Liz from home education who is managing all that beginning of the year paperwork. It is a mound and she handles it with grace. 

 Thank you to all of you who made the trek to High Level for our staff meeting. It was so needed. Touching base with each other is crucial to our schools. Today my list of things to do, arrange and schedule is going to be very, very long. Thanks again for celebrating successes and outlining areas we need to grow in.

 Thanks to Chris and Linda who have been searching out teacher's manuals. We are getting on track and will keep ordering until we have them all. Thanks.   

 Celebration- Gaye our very steady volunteer at the High Level Learning Store had a birthday yesterday. Please wish her a happy birthday when you see her.

 Things you need to know

 We will be handing out forms for support staff to sign acknowledging the change in policy regarding sick leave. Chad gave a summary on this at our staff meeting. 

 CRM meetings will take place in each location this week. 

 Diploma seatings- teachers you should know who is wanting to take the diploma in November. If they need accomodations you will contact me. 

 Not much else to add that hasn't been said at our staff meeting.

 Enjoy your short week.

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

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. 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
