Dear CJM Families & Friends
As educators we are responsible for building positive and productive relationships with students,
parents/guardians, peers and others in the school and local community to support student
learning. On Friday, February 26th we were honoured to have an opportunity to work with Elder
Shirley Hill in our “Circle Friday” time. Please take some time to ask your child(ren) about their
experience with Elder Shirley Hill. It was a beautiful and meaningful time spent on building
relationships with our learning community, nature and ourselves.
VIRTUAL Student Conferences
Hub Conferences will be centrally organized by the CBE, and they will be sending
information out about this process via email to parents. Hub student conferences will
occur on March 11 and 12 throughout the CBE, with messaging forthcoming. Please
contact your Hub teacher if you have any questions about this.
In-person students will have their conferences on March 11 and 12 as well, details to
follow in the coming weeks, but know that signup for virtual student conferences are
scheduled to go live on Thursday, March 4 at 4:00 pm through PowerSchool.
For your consideration: High School Scenarios Available Feb. 23 - The CBE has developed
two scenarios to balance enrolment at CBE high schools. These scenarios will be available Feb.
23, 2021 and there will be opportunities to provide feedback March 1-17, 2021. Scenario
development was guided by your feedback from fall 2019, CBE values and planning principles,
available space and resources and other factors. The scenarios represent a responsible
approach that anticipates limited space and resources into the future and allocates resources
where they will have the most positive impact for students overall. The decision will be
communicated by fall 2021, and changes will be implemented for the 2022-23 school year.
Share your voice and learn more at cbe.ab.ca/highschoolengagement.
Our next School Council meeting is on March 24, 2021; as with all School Council meetings this
year, it will be held virtually, beginning at 6:00pm on Zoom.
Hope you are enjoying the improved weather and longer daylight hours, as we are here at the
school.
Sincerely,
Ms. Bains, Principal & Ms. Harder, Assistant Principal
