Dec 18-22 Welcome to the last week of school before winter break and the end of our first 4 months of school together. This week is a combination of celebrating what has been accomplished so far and making plans for the next few months of school. We hope you were able to celebrate the many accomplishments of your child while reviewing their report card that came home. The next part of reporting is to attend a Student Involved Conference with your child this week. Booking is done online at https://webapps.cbe.ab.ca/my account. Conferences allow you to see some of the work your child completed and discuss plans for the next few months of school. There will also be an opportunity for your child to share some activities in action with you. We are also happy to host a Scholastic Book Fair during conferences. Book Fair purchases support new books for our Learning Commons. Hours are below and follow conference times – but closes at 11:00AM on Friday. Students get a sneak peek on Wednesday. Our school will be coming together for a bit each day this week to sing some Christmas Carols. It’s a pretty informal affair and fairly short (30 minutes or less). Parents are welcome to attend and sing along with us. On behalf of all the staff at New Brighton School I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday and a Happy New Year.

Warm Feet for the Street We are all looking forward to our school community coming together this Thursday for our Warm Feet for the Street Family Evening. Families have been very generous in their donations of small items that can be stuffed into socks. Our Grade 2 students have been excellent in making announcements in our school and organizing the supplies for all of us. We currently have over 120 families who have said they are attending. Please RSVP by Tuesday so we have enough treats and hot chocolate for everyone. Donations of supplies to be put in socks can also keep arriving until Tuesday or Wednesday. School T-Shirts have Arrived Our school t-shirts have arrived and will be distributed on Monday or Tuesday. They look great. Report Cards Report Cards will be coming home on December 15th. Dayna and myself have the pleasure of reading each one before it comes home and that’s been the work this weekend and next. Students learn and do so much in 4 months of school. I know you will be pleased with how well teachers know each child. Reporting on student achievement is a three part process. The report card and comments is one. The conference with your childs teacher is the second and having your child attend the conference with you for the “Student-Involved” component is the third. These three parts provide a more complete picture of what your child has learned, what they are working on and what supports are in place to help them achieve their full potential.
