 Jimmy Casas is our speaker on Friday. Don'y miss him! Our division has been getting some excellent speakers to inspire us in the fabulous work we do. In Outreach we know every kid has a story just as each of us has a story. His book Culturize reveals how schools that embody kindness, honesty and compassion can exceed academic standards and reach those who seem unreachable. Sounds like Learning Stores. Each one of us has kids who will come to us, that's your kid, they have chosen you. You have a responsibility to engage that student, after all he has chosen you! 

 Jimmy will get into it! He will have us thinking deeply. We will take something from that day that we can use on Monday. 

 We will all sit together on that day. Last row as you enter on the left, in the back.

 Staffing

 Why are people so tired in April?
Cause they just finished a 31 day March. ha ha ha

 Paris told us that one. So funny! He is doing really well. Doctors are saying he is cancer free. We will find out more when he goes for another cat scan in October. 

 Did you hear about the two guys who stole a calendar-
 they each got six months. OMG so funny! 

 So High Level has had Crystal McAteer in for a few days that has helped a lot. She is done today and Allan and I are going to figure out what the real work load is. Chad is helping by coming in on Mondays and Fridays when Allan does not work. We appreciate his assistance. 

 On a side note: We are wishing Allan well with his operation that takes place on August 27th.  He goes for pre op on the 26th. Allan is going to be off work for 4- 6 weeks. We wish him a speedy recovery and wish him good health after this little operation. 

 Crystal Mcateer is able to sub for about half of the days Allan is away. We will have to do some fancy rescheduling to fill the void. We always figure it out and this time will be no different. 

 Chad and I are out to PD on Thursday. The leadership team is meeting with Jimmy Casas. Means a short week for us, though we'd always rather to be in our schools. 

 I will go out to Rainbow on Wed afternoon. Jenine has quite a crew out there.

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 ...

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 counselo...
