Titans' Times

Here's hoping everyone has had a wonderful week off. This week off was a great time to relax and enjoy the slower pace of life. The warmer fall temperatures allowed the children to get outside while being off. As we settle back into the school routine this week, we look forward to continuing the engaging learning, growth, and development in the students we have witnessed this school year.

Some special events are happening this week that we will be focusing on these themes during our morning prayers:

November 13-19, 2023 - Anti-Bullying Week

November 12-18, 2023 - Métis Week

This week is the School Council meeting at 6:15 pm and the Friends of Legal School Society (FOLSS) immediately following on Wednesday; all Parents are welcome!

We are looking forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday morning.

Have a great week, everyone,

Many of us struggle to find the proper response when children use inappropriate language. Although it may be startling or uncomfortable, it is our responsibility to help them understand the impact of their words while trying to not make them feel embarrassed and ashamed.

Oftentimes children use inappropriate language by repeating what they have learned from others. Having an appropriate conversation with children about the word’s meaning and its appropriateness can increase the child’s understanding and prevent them from using that language again.

Here are some tips for when you encounter a child using inappropriate language.

CWL News

The CWL will be collecting new socks, mitts, toques, and scarves for all ages. Boxes will be located at the back of the church, SuperMart, Legal School and Ecole Citadelle. We will be collecting until Dec. 17. Donations will be delivered to Gibbons Family Resources for local families with winter clothing needs. Please consider purchasing some of these items during your Christmas shopping. Thank you.

The primary focus of this engagement is to gather feedback and insights from our parents and school communities on programming and grade configurations. We believe that your valuable input can help us enhance the educational experience for our students and ensure that our schools align with the evolving needs and aspirations of our community.

To participate in this initiative, participants will have the following options:

• Online Engagement Platform: Families can share their thoughts, suggestions, and ideas through our online engagement platform.
• Workshops (Online and In-Person): We will be conducting workshops, both online and in person, to facilitate in-depth discussions and collaborative brainstorming sessions.

Online - Nov. 14, 2023, at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom.
Morinville - Nov. 23, 2023, at 6:30 p.m. MCHS (9506 100 Ave., Morinville).
**Legal - Nov. 29, 2023, at 6:30 p.m. Legal School (5122 46 St, Legal).

Feedback gathered during this engagement will guide our administrative decisions, support the optimization of school facilities, and help position our Division strategically for future funding opportunities. Moreover, it will instill confidence in our current and prospective families, reaffirming our commitment to providing exceptional educational opportunities and listening to feedback.

Registration and order forms to will be sent to all families this upcoming week to pre-purchase movie tickets and concession items.
