It is now the beginning of February and the second half of the school year is well under way. It is truly amazing to how the time has flown since the winter holiday! Our second round of Parent Teacher Student Interviews was held on 30-31 January 2020. Thank you to all parents/guardians who attended! Students achieve best when we all work together.
On 03 February 2020, Junior High School students begin their new complementary courses. Assessment and comments for Semester One courses will be available online shortly.
In a school this large, it is not unusual to have staff changes for a variety of reasons mid-year. Ms Chan will join our Junior High and will be teaching Math/Science. Ms Saifeddine (a Crossing Park alumni) will be team teaching in Grade 2 with Ms Tonsaker. Ms Nazerali has joined the Grade 4 team. Ms Kenney and Mrs Ashby have returned to Kindergarten, Mrs Moore to Grade 2 and Mrs Bui to Grade 5. Welcome to all our new and returning teachers.
During February, teachers participate in the annual Teachers’ Convention. This is an opportunity for all Calgary Board of Education teachers to attend sessions that allow them to improve their practice as well as explore new resources to support teaching and learning. Teachers’ Convention will be held 13-14 February 2020 and there will be no classes those two days. A reminder – Monday, 17 February 2020, is Family Day. There are no classes!

I am often asked by parents what they can do to support their children and their learning. One of the most significant things you can do is encourage your children to read. Daily reading can have a huge impact on school success. It doesn’t matter what is read or what language it is written in, it is reading that matters. If you do not have books at your child’s reading level, they can be signed out through the school library or the Calgary Public Library. Every child should be a reader!
