Dear Parents/Guardians,
We wrapped up the week in an unexpected way with no buses running on Friday, but overall, it was a great way to close out January. A heartfelt thank you to all the parents who attended our school council meeting on the 27th. Attendees even got to experience an impromptu fire drill after a pull station was accidentally triggered by a ball. Fortunately, it was a false alarm, but it gave us a valuable opportunity to practice our emergency procedures after school.
The Alberta Education Assurance Measures survey will soon be available to parents. This survey allows you to share your thoughts on what is going well in our school and where we can improve. As a staff, we use this feedback to guide our priorities and make meaningful adjustments. Survey links and access codes will be mailed to parents, and we strongly encourage participation—your input helps provide a clearer picture of our school's strengths and areas for growth. Please note that the survey is designed to capture an overview of the school rather than individual experiences. Additionally, if you select "Don't Know" for a question, it registers as a "No," which may affect our overall results. If you're unsure about a question, we encourage you to reach out to the office or your child’s teacher for clarification.
For your reference, I have attached the notice regarding the failed ratification vote for staff in the document below.
Looking ahead, very cold temperatures are in the forecast for next week. Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather when traveling to and from school. Students participating in the Polar Bear Club must have all the necessary winter gear to take part.
A friendly reminder that early dismissal is on February 5th. Students will be dismissed at 1:00 PM, and buses will arrive at that time.
Finally, a huge thank you to Peers Farm and Feed for sponsoring this week’s hot lunch—we truly appreciate your generosity!
Have a great weekend,
Bailey Benson
