We hope families have enjoyed a great Family Day long weekend. And we hope that drivers and pedestrians remember all their good habits around the school after a 5-day break from the routine. We learned a little traffic fact last week. Did you know that it is illegal to do a U-turn at the intersection of New Brighton Drive and New Brighton Circle? Our information is that, unless posted differently, U-turns are not permitted at any intersection. We know last week this rule was being enforced by CPS at dismissal time and that the plan was to return for entry and dismissal times this week. Accountability Pillar Survey February is the time for surveys in the CBE and with Alberta Education. Last week all Grade 4 students gave feedback to Alberta Education through the Accountability Survey. All parents of Grade 4 students should have received an Accountability Survey in the mail. We encourage you to complete the survey. We value your feedback. New Brighton Parent Survey All parents are encouraged to complete the New Brighton Parent Survey. It is available until February 23 at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/New_Brighton_Parent_Survey We appreciate your feedback and hope you will take the time to share your thoughts with us. We would also like to thank the 70 families who have responded so far. CBE Math Strategy Parents can sign up to be informed about an upcoming survey around the development of a CBE Math Strategy. Go to for more information: http://www.cbe.ab.ca/get-involved/public-engagement/Pages/K-12-Math-Strategy-Engagement.aspx Fun Lunch and Special Snack Reminders We value the feedback we receive at School Council and know keeping track of events can be challenging sometime. Beginning last week you will receive an email reminder from the school the day before the last day to order for Special Snack and Lunch dates. We noticed this reminder seemed very popular for popcorn last week. Pink Shirt Day Pink Shirt Day has become more and more popular since its inception in 2007. The date did sneak up on us this year and wearing pink is not the most important way to show support. We see the evidence of our students’ respect and appreciation for diversity every day at New Brighton School. Students and staff are invited to show their support by wearing link on Wednesday but the most important actions are everyday in our interactions with each other.
