The world Needs You!

The World Needs You

Everyday that you show up

even when it's hard and when you dont feel like it,

you are making a difference.


so even on the hard days--


even on the days where you'd like to hang

back and not show up--


remember the world needs the magic inside of you


your work matters

your consistency matters

your ideas matter

your presence matters


So keep it up.


I send this to you...because it's true.


Students need the same message, let the students know the world needs them!!

WHAT's Happening This Week

# Staff Metting on Tuesday at 2:30. Our meeting will be a half hour starting right at 2:35. I will send out a meeting invite. CRM right after. Should be quick as kids have only been back a week but we need to get caught up on the kids before report cards come out. 

#ASEBP presentation on Wed please see the email I sent with details. If you'd like to know more about your benefits and ask questions this is for you.

#Productivity- are our kids continuing to be productive? Will speak to this in staff meeting. 

#Report Cards are due on Monday Feb 1st. All course marks must be in by Jan 28th to be included on the report card. Report cards go out on Feb 5th. Parent teacher interviews will be outlined in LTM tomorrow we will up date you in staff meeting on Tuesday. 

#Happy 65 th Allan. It's a lovely number, enjoy the year to come, so many good things!

#Student Wellness- Sometimes attached to an unwell student is a very unwell parent. They can suck the energy out of us. Please forward that type of parent to Chad and I. You need to focus on the students, you need your energy. Important to know... if we fill out a referral parents can still deny the service... so sad but true. 

# Super short memo as we will meet at Staff meeting. Try to be at your own computer with mics off, I will call on you and you can respond if you wish.

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

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.

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
