Diploma Week is Here

Diploma week is getting to be a very busy time for all four schools. It used to be that only the two bigger schools were writing. Now Fort and Rainbow have students writing at all times. That is great news. Thank you to everyone who booked seatings, called students, gathered study materials, taught, motivated the kids to write and  supported them. 

 This week will be relaxing, we will be calm and cool. If there is a situation with diplomas we will get it solved and will err on the die of the student. If a student is 9 minutes late we will let them write. If a student breaks down while writing we will find another spot for him her to write. If a teacher has a migraine and needs to leave someone will just op in to take their place, now worries at all this week.

What's next on our list of things to do?

 Plan for your holiday in just ten short days.

 Prepare for name change of our locations. Government has decided to name all Outreach Schools the same. So our New names for our locations will be - Alternative Learning Outreach Stores. So High Level Will be High level Alternative Learning Outreach Stores. That's quite a handle. Not sure if I can even say it but it will be our new name. La Crete's name will be La Crete Alternative Learning Outreach Store, LCALOS. We will change our letterhead when we return from break.

 Report cards are due when we get back from holiday. I know I am going to do mine before I go on holiday. I'll have a much more relaxing holiday that way. When will you do yours? 

 Parent teacher home visits will take place at the end of April. We will bring fruit baskets to the homes and meet families.

 Budget- we are on track. Hoping to have some renovations done to Fort in the next month or two. Success bucks line will go up soon as students cash in their rewards. 

 Home Education has officially moved over to the new building. Chad has done a great job with the move. It was calm and cool. 
The space is fabulous. All staff will enjoy the added access of another bathroom!! 

 Enjoy your week!!

    A new name for our programs, eh? How interesting that change is taking place on April 1st...

    Maybe we should go with "Alberta Program of Reading Intensive Learning For Outstanding Or Lucky Students"

    I am hoping to do my report cards before the break but I am already so thankful we have the time over the break as backup should we need it. All ready alleviates stress for me that's for sure!

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...
