From the Principal's Desk
Happy Thanksgiving Mustangs.
We hope you and your loved ones had an enjoyable long weekend and enjoyed some Turkey dinner with friends and family. On Thursday evening our School Council hosted an outdoor movie night and we had about 100 people come out. It was an incredible evening under the northern lights, thank you so much to everyone who had a part in planning and putting this event on.
We have reached our first 5 week assessment for parents/students in Grades 7-12, and thus we encourage parents to please check their son or daughter's parent portal PowerSchool marks for the most up-to-date grades as our Jr/Sr teachers have worked hard to make sure all grades in core subjects are current and accurate. For our Elementary students/parents we are also using parent portal Powerschool, but because Elementary assessment is focused on mastery these grades may not be fully updated until the 10 week assessment period is complete in November.
Moreover, Grade 7-9 parents, can expect to view the first iteration of the student portfolios your kids have been working on Friday, October 18th as these will be emailed to families by the end of the week.

Mustang Shout Outs
Congratulations to Lyllac for her Mustang shout-out this week for being such a loving and kind student. Lyllac, helped another student gather all their belongings on the playground when their backpack had emptied. This show of love embodies the grandfather teaching the Eagle and we are so proud of Lyllac for her thoughtfulness. We love to continue celebrating the amazing things our students do at Alix MAC School - Go Mustangs!!!!!
