Weekly Message - October 14-18
Happy Thanksgiving! We have an extended weekend with the school closed on Monday. Classes resume on Tuesday morning.
We’re halfway through the month of October and still enjoying unbelievable weather. The great weather is perfect for our soccer season and our teams are enjoying the warm conditions and wonderful support of fans at games. The soccer playoffs begin next week with finals wrapping up the season the following week.
Provincial Achievement Testing
Each year, Alberta Education conducts Provincial Achievement Testing for all Alberta students in grades six and nine. The testing occurs in mid-May and mid-June. We are currently waiting for an update from Alberta Education and the schedule will be added to the school calendar found on our school website once it is available. A letter outlining the process was emailed to all families of grade six and nine students. Please contact the office if you did not receive the email.
School Council Meeting
The second School Council Meeting of the 2024-25 school year is scheduled for this Wednesday, October 16 at 6:30pm. We will be meeting at school in the Learning Commons so please join us if you can.
Phoenix Rising Basketball Tournament
Congratulations to our Junior Boys and Girls basketball teams who played in our Phoenix Rising Basketball Tournament last weekend. Both teams played very well but, more importantly, were exceptional hosts and ambassadors for our school. Our girls team played in their final against Samuel W. Shaw School and our boys won the championship game! Thank you, student-athletes, you make us proud. Another thank you to our athletes’ families who provided snacks for the volunteer room and helped us share our appreciation with the coaches, refs and supervisors that made our weekend a success!
