Final Week of Assignments

Hello Division 1 Parents and Students,

June 15-19th is the last week of "assignments" for the 2019-2020 online and in-class classroom.  A schedule of class calls and acitivities was sent on June 14th to every family's email.  We will have our final whole class call at 10:30 on Tuesday June 23rd.

Next week, Mrs. Elie will be posting Summer Learning suggestions.  Usually, the final few days of school are focussed on fun, cleaning and parties.  Ms. James has sent a newsletter indicating times to come to pick-up reports if students will not be attending in-person classes next week.  Although you are welcome to pick up reports at a convenient time on Wednesday and Thursday from 9-12 or 12:30-2, Mrs. Elie will only be in the gym on Wednesday from 9-10:30.  If you come at a different time, there will be a different staff member there to give you the report.

Thank you again for all the flexibility and support during the quick switch to a digital classroom. It certainly was not the way we had planned to end the school year, but I think we made the best of an unprecedented situation.

Hello Division 1 Parents and Students,

We are at week two of blended learning with online and in-class teaching available for students.

Thank you for your patience as it has sometimes been a bit of a challenge to maintain an online and in-class presence simultaneously.  We have most certainly tested the capacity of the school network & internet. 

Hopefully you have had an opportunity to discuss the Collaborative Goals and Next-Steps with your child.  We will be completing this assignment by Wednesday.  Please email me your responses or post to Freshgrade.

Please see the image of our plan for today.  It is also accessible in TEAMS.
I have also posted an image of our the plan for the week.
