Sept 11-15 We hope your children had a great first week back to school. Our classroom blogs http://school.cbe.ab.ca/school/newbrighton/teaching-learning/classes-departments/pages/default.aspx are full of interesting and exciting stories of our first few days together. We’ve been asked by several parents about fees. Thank you for wanting to stay up to date with fees. The CBE is waiting for Ministerial Approval for our fees. Please register for noon supervision as that helps with attendance a great deal – knowing who really is supposed to be there – and our other fees – when approved will be very reasonable – and definitely less than last year. We will keep you updated. There will be no fee for supplies and materials. Entrances and Exits Now that our first week is behind us we are ready to start letting families make some choices about the best place to exit the building. At entrance time Grade 1-4 students can use any entrance except the main entrance. All doors will open at 8:10 and students and families can choose what makes the most sense. At dismissal time Grades 2 and 3 students will exit onto the west side of the compound (by the windows that look into the Learning Commons. Grades 1 and 4 students will exit on the east side of the compound. Again – families can choose to use any exit (except the main entrance) if that makes more sense to them. At entry time the doors will remain open for 3 or 4 minutes as the people holding the doors open have classrooms to get to. After the doors are closed students are to come around to the main entrance. Students should be close to an entrance by 8:10AM. Supervision outside begins at 7:55AM. What are we reading? At the beginning of the school year we work hard to establish some shared understanding among the staff at our school. We feel continuity in some things helps create a shared culture of learning. Learning space design and the importance of displaying student work are two areas where we seek some continuity of belief and practice. When you visit our school I hope you will see some evidence of the attached articles embedded in our classrooms and other learning spaces. This Week Sept 11 Conference Booking opens 5PM (you will receive an email) Sept 15 AM Kindergarten attends – 8:10-11:45 Sept 15 Early Dismissal 11:45
