Happy March!
Fortunately, we made it through our cold snap and the weather is starting to be warm enough to be outside for morning and afternoon recess. We are excited to see the signs of spring very soon!
As you know, we as a staff have been using a wide range of data sources to develop our school-wide focus for ongoing student success. We continue to gather evidence of learning and determine targeted areas of focus to improve student learning. Having our teacher/student/parent conferences last month gave families the opportunity to once again meet with their child’s teacher to further develop learning plans and goals for the year. During recent opportunities to spend time in each class I see firsthand the focus on academic success, including time spent to build community that is critical to each student’s social/emotional development and is part of our continued focus on citizenship and efficacy in learning for each student.
March will continue to be a busy month for our students as we continue to focus on learning and being connected to our school community. Despite our physical distance, North Haven will continue to be a hub of activity for both students and teachers. Our daily work continues to focus on student success through the personalization of learning while supporting the Calgary Board of Education’s ‘Results’ in the areas of: Citizenship, Personal Development and Character. Additionally, we have been engaging in a project as a school community to bring everyone together in pursuit of a common goal. Since the beginning of February, we have been talking about our school logo, considering what the wolf represents and designing a detailed logo that represents our school community.
We wanted to extend this conversation into your homes. Please spend some time as a family contributing your voice to our new school logo project. The survey closes on Friday this week. We look forward to gathering your thoughts!

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to your child’s learning. Please continue to read your child’s classroom blog to review learning intentions and visit our North Haven website for upcoming events.
Sincerely,
