Greetings Cappy Families,

We are looking forward to seeing our students tomorrow after the convention and Family Day break. We encourage all of our students to wear pink to show their support for Pink Shirt Day and anti-bullying. We will be having an assembly tomorrow, Tuesday, Feb 21 at 10:00 in the gym to kick off Pink Shirt Week. All parents and guardians are invited to attend!

At Cappy we have been learning about Pink Shirt Day. Students will be working with their teachers building a kindness chain, talking about bullying, and about the importance of standing up for others if they are being treated badly. Bullying is a social problem that happens across all parts of society! Pink Shirt Day is about creating strength through standing together.

Acknowledging Black History Month

February is Black History Month. The Calgary Board of Education and staff at Cappy Smart recognize Black History Month and the contributions of Black Canadians in communities across the country.

This year, The City of Calgary’s theme is "Black Resistance." The theme explores how Black people have resisted historical and ongoing systemic oppression. Additionally, the Government of Canada’s theme is: “Ours to tell”. This theme represents both an opportunity to engage in open dialogue and a commitment to learning more about the stories Black communities in Canada have to tell about their histories, successes, sacrifices and triumphs.

Both themes provide many learning opportunities and our teachers have brought them into the classroom by sharing the stories of Black communities in Canada.

Pink Shirt Day – February 22

We have been talking about Pink Shirt Day here at Cappy. Students will be working with their teachers building a kindness chain, talking about bullying, and about the importance of standing up for others if they are being treated badly. Bullying is a social problem that happens across all parts of society! Pink Shirt Day is about creating strength through standing together.

We will be having a Pink Shirt Day Assembly on Feb 21, and encouraging our students to where their pink for the rest of the week. Parents/Guardians you are welcome to join us at the assembly . Student will be sharing their kindness messages with the rest of the school. Assembly starts at 10 in the gym.

Alberta Education Assurance Survey

During the next few weeks, parents and guardians of our grade 4 and 5 students will be receiving a package from the Alberta Government regarding the Alberta Education Assurance Survey. The purpose of the survey is to provide feedback to Alberta Education on parents'/ legal guardians' opinions about their school, their school work and the opportunities their school provides.

We appreciate you taking the time to fill in this survey because they provide important information on the quality of education students are receiving. The results are used by schools, school authorities and government to see what’s working and what needs to be improved. Parents/ guardians will be given a link to complete the survey online. Surveys are also available in a few other languages. If you would like a survey in a different language, or if you require a paper survey, please let your child’s teacher know and we will arrange for a copy to be sent home.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your opinions and feedback so we can continually improve the work at our school.

Ice!

We have been talking to our students every day, multiple times a day, to NOT run on the ice, or in the freezing water. However, despite our efforts, we still have many little daring souls who love to test out the ice, which has resulted in a few falls and scrapes. Parents and guardians, when you are picking up your students, please proceed with caution as it is very icy on the compound, sidewalks and parking lots with all of the thawing and freezing over the last few weeks.

Take care families, we appreciate you!

Rachel MacDonald, Principal
