New Beginnings

Well, as the snow melts away and we look forward to spring . . .

Oh, those are the words I would like to be true this week.  However, we have a six foot drift at the end of our lane way and the roads are covered in ice.  Saskatchewan, land of beautiful snow.

Carrie Thomson was out yesterday to work with many of the students on her caseload.  We also started our third OSR session which will run until May 12th.

The babysitting course begins here on Wednesday and we have our second night of Parent Teacher Interviews on Wednesday as well.

CREED Assembly on the 31st at 9:00, please come and join us.

Have faith, Spring will arrive!  In the meantime, stay warm, plan your garden using the seed catalogues and be charmed by the calves that are showing up everywhere.

Spring

Well, it is officially Spring and when I look outside I fear that Mother Nature has not received the memo.  Keep the faith, we know that the snow will go, let's hope it goes soon.

Tomorrow our school will be full of Division Team personnel.  Carrie Thomson (SLP), Amanda Dufrense (OT), and Carol Harbin (Ed. Psych) will all be here for at least a part of the day.

No classes on Wednesday which means an opportunity for our staff to work together on a goal setting session for next year. 

Look for your children's OSR reports on Friday.  A new session will be starting the week of March 28th.

Week of Colour

Wow, lots of pink happening here today.  I am really looking forward to hearing Ms. Ollsen's presentation this morning.  I am certain it will be one more event that makes me happy and proud to be a Canadian in 2011.

I am looking forward to a sea of green on Thursday as St. Patrick's day brings out the Irish in us all.

Carrie T. is here Tuesday this week, and report cards for K-9 go home Thursday. 

Thursday is the last day for OSR session 2.  Look for your child's OSR report on March 25th.

Enjoy the day on Friday - No School.

Parent Support

I would like to thank Brenda Stansfield who is coming in on Wednesday to show myself and several staff members how to efficiently use the Boardmaker v.6 program.  This is a program which creates visual reading supports for students.  I really appreciate the support of parent experts when meeting the needs of our students.

Carrie T. will be here Tuesday this week.  Her focus for the month of March is going to be language therapy.

Remember to order your pink shirts to wear on anti-bullying day March 14th.

Telemiracle

Just a reminder to all parents and students the Telemiracle is on this weekend.   I hope you are able to take sometime to watch this province wide example of CREED. 

I have begun PPP reviews which will be sent home with your child's report card on March 17th.

Have a wonderful weekend.
