Celebration of Learning – Thursday May 4 

All families are welcome and encouraged to join us at Chris Akkerman School to visit your child's classroom and celebrate with your child all the amazing learning that is happening in their class. The focus of our evening will be literacy. Literacy is one of our School Development Plan Goals. Teachers and students have been working diligently to advance their ability in reading all year. Of course, they have been hard at work on their writing as well. There will be additional information sent out this week from your classroom teachers.  

School Fees 

If you have not yet paid for your lunch room fees or your transportation fees, it is very important that all families pay those fees as soon as possible. The CBE does send families to collections if they do not pay these fees. Kindly call Ms. Scherwitz in the office if you have any quetsions. You can use debit on the machine in the office. Of course, your credit card can pay for this on-line through your MYCBE account.  

Also, if your child it attending a fieldtrip at the end of this year, please pay for their fieldtrip as soon as possible. Your attention to this is very appreciated.  

 

Math Games 

The following games are our math coach's favourite games to play with students. Not only do they allow for an engaging way to practice basic facts, but they also foster thinking about the missing part or inverse operation. These games help students to think about their strategy in winning the game. There are two different version based on what skills you would like to practice with your child. Please note that you can use paperclips, cheerios, or coins instead of the transparent chips.

Understanding Social Media and Youth Well-Being 

The Calgary Board of Education is inviting all community members to join us for an inspiring evening of learning with experts in understanding social media. Social media has been around for decades and is commonly used by all. These digital platforms allow any user to create or share content in forms of posts, photos, videos, and connection. Teenagers need support and education to develop the skills to manage their social media use. This session will explore social media use among youth and tools to help your child learn to use social media platforms in a health and responsible way.   

On May 2, the CBE's Well-Being team will host a free online session where parents will be able to join and learn from experts in the field of health promotion , ask questions and receive follow-up materials.   

You are invited to join us at the virtual session from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.  

Click HERE on Tuesday, May 2 at 6:30 p.m. to join the session  

Understanding Social Media 

Child and Youth Well-Being Series for Families and Caregivers  
Tuesday, May 2, 2023 
6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. 

CBE educators believe that parents and caregivers can inspire their kids to make healthy lifestyle choices and increase protective factors — in order to do so, they need the right tools and information. Since our understanding of student health and well-being is evolving, it is important for parents to stay up-to-date on the same information so everyone is supporting student success.  
 
This session is offered at no-cost to all Calgary Board of Education employees, families, and community members.   

The intention of this session is to advance student well-being by raising family and caregiver's understanding of a variety of health-related topics. You are a key partner in your child's education and student well-being is critically linked to student achievement.  

Thank you for your time and consideration to join us.

The weather this week is going to be a bit cool, please dress warmly or bring an extra sweater, just in case.

Calgary Stampeders – teaching PE at Chris Akkerman School 

This past week, there were several classes that participated in PE classes with Calgary Stampeders. These larger-than-life professional athletes demonstrated many football skills and drills and helped to introduce Canadian Football to our students. Some students even won prizes! It was a great opportunity for our students to meet some professional athletes and learn from some of the very best!   As part of the Calgary Stampeders promotion at our school, each student can use the following link to get Two free tickets to the May 22nd Stampeders game!

Ramadan 

If your child is observing Ramadan by fasting, kindly reach out to your classroom teacher and let them know. It is always helpful to understand the family expectations placed on the students. Each family is unique and we would like to best support our students and families during this important time. We are able to do this by knowing what are parent expectations. Kindly either write a note in the agenda or send your teacher a quick e-mail to share your expectations for your child. We will try our very best to support your wishes. Thank you for continuing to be our partners in education

Parking Authority and Police Presence at CAS 

As parents saw this week, we had many Calgary Police Officers checking on our safety. The police were joined by the Calgary Parking Authority. They reminded us that it is illegal to make a “U turn" in front of the school, even at the intersection in the front. They also asked us to remind parents that the speed limit outside of our school is 30 KM/hour. Finally, they were disappointed to see so much jay walking. We have a wonderful, well marked cross-walk and we are hopeful all of our students and their caregiver will use it every day. Thank you for taking your time on the roads outside our school, remaining outside of our staff parking lot, and being kind and respectful to all who are using the roads around the school.  ​

Dear families, 

Thursday was a beautiful example of our amazing school culture at Chris Akkerman School. We have gone for so many years without welcoming families into schools that these opportunities continue to fill my heart and overwhelm my sense of joy and pride for our families, our students and our education team. Thank you for participating in your child’s student-led conference! It is beautiful to see our students take pride and leardership in their learning as they show their parents what they have been learning and why this learning is important. When a student is able to share what they are working on, what they have done well and what their next right step in learning is, we know we have all succeeded in touching the heart and mind of a young learner. Thank you for taking the time to listen to your child and allow them to direct you through their learning experiences. Thank you for your generous praise and wise interactions with your learner. Thank you for providing your child with feedback and for making this process a great learning opportunity for our students. Parents, you truly are our partners in educating our students. When you participate and take up the work, as you did on Thursday, everyone in our community benefits. Thank you for all you have done to make Student Led Conferences so successful! 

Dr. Bettesworth

Parent Alert 

We sadly need to update and request assistance in many areas that are not a typical part of my weekly message. I apologize in advance as this next section does not apply to all of our community. Please read and assist us in making our community a better place for everyone. Our goal, always: a safe, caring, welocming and respectful place for all! 

Traffic – the traffic outside of the school can be very dangerous at times. I worry that a child is going to be hit by a car every day. I worry that my team of educators will be hit by a parent in a hurry or not following traffic rules and city by laws.  

Please think of the safety of our students and the safety of our educational team at CAS. When you are driving around the school, kindly drive slowly. Please leave extra time to get to where you need to be. Please follow traffic law and city by-laws. Please be kind, respectful and safe.  

I never want to write a note about injuries, but I fear, this is coming soon given the way parent drivers are around the school. Please, kindly drive safe and slow. 

Bathroom Behaviours – we are certain the behaviours in our bathrooms are not at all like what is expected or tolerated in the bathrooms in your homes. We do need your help to assist us in teaching our students respectful bathroom behaviours. Lately, the troubles have been more focused on the boys bathroom, however, from time to time, all of our students need reminders. We are kind, respectful, and caring in our bathrooms. This means we don’t stand on toilet seats, look over or under stalls, enter a stall that already has one person in it. Paper is used to dry our hands and then it is put in the recycle bin. Paper is never thrown on the ceiling or walls. Toilet paper is used on our bottoms and then put directly into the toilet where it is then flushed. Personal items are never attempted to be flushed down the toilet nor are personal items put into the toilet as a prank. We never bang of stall doors, nor do we tease those who are in a stall looking after their business. We are hopeful our parents, as our partners in educating our students, are able to speak to their children about healthy and safe bathroom behaviorus so we can all use the facilities peacefully and safely. 

Virtues – the virtue of honesty is one I need to discuss with all families after our bookfair week. While our bookfair was a great success and it put books into the hands of many of our children. The bookfair also succeeded in allowing some students an opportunity to put tiny treasures in to pockets and bring them home. It also provided an opportunity for students to seek out the treasures of others and claim them as their own. If you child happens to have a new eraser, or a pen or bookmark or a tiny treasure that you didn’t purchase for them, it is quite likely it came from the bookfair or from a classmate who spent their own money on the treasure. If you find thing that do not belong to your child, kindly send them back to school and the teacher will sort out next steps. This should be looked at as a learning opportunity for all.  

We have learned and have decided that our future book fairs will not include the tiny treasures such as erasers, book marks, pencils and tiny trinkets. This is simply too enticing for young children. The loss this year at our spring book fair was simply too much and the temptation for our young learners too much.  

Toys and treasures at school – please do not allow your child to bring toys and cards etc to school. This includes Pokemon cards, cars, sports cards, and toys. If students insist on bringing toys to school, the teacher we confiscate them and they will need to be picked up by a parent. It is distracting to have at school and from time to time these treasures get lost. Please don’t send these items to school. When a teacher makes a specific request for items to be brought to school for an educational purpose, then this is managed by the teacher. Otherwise, kindly leave your toys at home.  

 

Chris Akkerman School Engagement Opportunity 

Many, many families participated in this great opportunity for feedback at our Student Led Conference - thank you! If you haven’t yet shared your feedback, please provide us with feedback on the Chris Akkerman Budget, Fees, and School Council.  There are about 8 questions on this survey. It shouldn't take longer than about 5 minutes to complete.  We are eager to hear what fieldtrip and residency opportunities families would like their child to participate in. We are also eager to hear what fees for fiend trips and activities should be set for next year.  We look forward to your feedback. 

The survey is currently open, it will close on March 15. 

***This is available in many languages. Please select the language that works for you in the top corner. Please forgive any language errors as the translation piece is not perfect.  

Engagement Survey 

 

Alberta Education Assurance Survey  

Grade 4 families, each year Alberta Education conducts a survey and seeks your feedback. The Alberta Education Assurance Survey is now open. It will close later in March. Alberta Education uses the Assurance Survey as a way for school authorities to measure their success and assess their progress towards meeting their learning goals. Parents / Legal Guardians of children in grade 4 will receive their survey in the mail.   You are encouraged to complete the survey online. Students and all teachers will complete their surveys online at school. Your voice matters. Your participation in the survey helps provide important information on the quality of education your child is receiving. Alberta Education and Calgary Board of Education thank you for returning the parent Assurance Survey promptly. If you have questions or need a link to fill in the survey, please contact Ms Bauman at djbauman@cbe.ab.ca

Dear Chris Akkerman Families 

Our French Festival, lead by Mme. Fontanne was a great success. Thank you Mme. Fontanne! Students participated in collaborative and cultural games in the gym. Ask them about the game with the ropes and ball, or about the chickens and eggs. Outside students were treated to “caban a sucre" maple syrup on a stick. While outside they also played Acadian games such as Tug-O-War, Sack Races, and a unique relay where they tied a sash around their waist and pulled a small log a short distance. Ask your child how the maple sugar treat tasted or how they made the treat. You might also want to ask them about the musical experience they had with Mme. Costinak, they played an instrument you could easily find in your kitchen. Again, another great cultural opportunity. The special events outside, in the gym, and in the music room were supplemented by some great classroom based activities for each grade as well. Ask your child about the beards.  

All students participated in the French festival, there was energy, enthusiasm and plenty of laughter as all of our community was given the opportunity to learn and participate in some great cultural events. Great fun and amazing learning was had by all. A huge should out to the incredible volunteers who assisted us, Mme. Fontanne and our first class CAS team who helped lead all of the fun French learning activities.

Before you attend Student Led Conferences, please ensure you have reviewed your child's report card on line. This is a great opportunity to reflect on the current learning discussed and shared in the report card, their next steps and best ways to support your student learner. It is also hoped you will see many curricular areas, not written about in the report card but where indicators of achievement were shared. If a picture is worth 1000 words, imagine what an experience is worth. We encourage all families to take this time to examine their child's work and how it relates to what was shared in the report card.  We encourage you to find their strengths and their personal areas of growth and celebrate this with your child.   

Parents, during the conference, you will be asked to provide your child with feedback that will include both celebrations of what your child has achieved and your greatest hopes for the remainder of the school year. 

Student Led Conferences are a wonderful opportunity for you to connect with your child about their learning. Please allow your child to take the lead and share with you. During Student Led Conferences there will be approximately 5-7 other families in your child's designated space also participating in this learning and celebratory opportunity.  This is the time to celebrate and acknowledge the hard work your child has done to date. This is not the time to conference with the teacher. If you have specific questions for the classroom teacher, please make an appointment with them for a telephone call, face to face meeting, or an on-line TEAMs meeting to discuss your child's learning.  Due to privacy, Student Led Conferences are not the time for specific discussions with your child's teacher.  Thank you for your understanding.  

Please note – the school office will be open to pay fees and begin your police clearance processes.  

The gym will be home to the Scholastic Book Fair – if we are able to secure enough parent volunteers. 

School Council will host a meeting in the Learning Commons beginning at 7PM

Engagement Survey 

 

Alberta Education Assurance Survey  

Grade 4 families, each year Alberta Education conducts a survey and seeks your feedback. The Alberta Education Assurance Survey is now open. It will close later in March. Alberta Education uses the Assurance Survey as a way for school authorities to measure their success and assess their progress towards meeting their learning goals. Parents / Legal Guardians of children in grade 4 will receive their survey in the mail.   You are encouraged to complete the survey online.

If you have questions or need a link to fill in the survey, please contact Ms Bauman at djbauman@cbe.ab.ca  

 

Attendance and Lates  

Students arriving to school with time to spare have the luxury of settling in, greeting their teachers and classmates, and focusing their minds on the lessons to come. Students arriving late miss out on this natural transition period, and chronic tardiness may cause students to struggle with academic focus and relationships with peers. Showing up on time to school every day can help students develop the habit of being punctual, illustrates to them your commitment to their learning and friendships, and helps reduce classroom interruptions and distractions for all students. Missing just 15 minutes of school twice a week equates to 3 missed school days per year! Please ensure your child arrives to school on time. If you need support with ideas on how to arrive at school on time please reach out to your classroom teacher or Ms. Bauman djbauman@cbe.ab.ca as they will be happy to help. 

 

Lunchroom Registration and Fees 

All families with outstanding fees will receive letters indicating your fees owed at our Student Led Conferences.  At conferences you will be able to come to the office and pay your fees using the interact machine if you have been unsuccessful paying these fees on line. We are unable to accept CASH payments as the school is not set up to accept cash.  

It is important that all families log into their myCBE account to pay the fees for lunchroom, transportation, and fieldtrips/ recorders. These fees will not go away. In fact, the CBE does send families to collections if fees are not paid in a timely manner. If you are unable to pay your fees, please connect with the school at conferences. THe window for seeking assistance is quickly approaching. The CBE does not look favourably upon families who wait too long to connect with the school about unpaid fees. Please connect with the school as soon as possible if the current fees cannot be paid. 

 

Dressing for the Weather 

When students don't wear mitts/ gloves when it is cold they will keep their hands in their pockets. The trouble is, these days the school grounds are covered with ice. When kids have their hands in their pockets and they slip on the ice they will often cut their chin, cut their lips, their teeth will go through either their tongue or their lips - requiring stitches. It is best practice to walk with our hands out prepared to catch ourselves should we slip or fall. Please send your child with gloves/ mitts. Children are excited to play in the snow when the weather permits. Children need boots, snow pants, winter coat and good mitts to play in the snow. All students will be spending time outside several times each day. Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather.  

Uniforms 

Part of being in a TLC school is the uniform. Students need to follow the uniform requirements. We will begin notifying students and their families of problems with their uniform. Thank you for assisting our amazing students in representing TLC well by following the uniform expectations! Some highlights: 

·       Pants, leggings, sweat pants are never worn under a tunic. Socks or leotards are worn under a tunic. Shorts are also great to wear under a tunic, but they should never be visible. 

·       If a student is cold at school, they should be wearing their cardigan, not a hoodie from their favourite sport's team.  

·       If you are wearing pants, they are pants/ trousers/ slacks. Jeans, sweat pants, leggings are not part of the school uniform. 

·       If students are wearing a shirt underneath their dress shirt, it should be white. 

·       Dress shirts should be white, not grey, not stained. 

·       Fancy coloured socks are part of weekend wear and are not part of the school uniform. 

·       Formal days include cardigans, tunics, ties for those wearing a dress shirt and pants.  

·       Hair accessories and heat coverings should match the TLC colours if at all possible.  

Taking pride in how we dress is an important part of being a TLC student. Wearing the TLC uniform correctly and proudly will improve student confidence. We look forward to celebrating how great the students look in their uniform this coming week. 

Did you know, a quick Kijiji or Facebook Market Place search results in many uniform pieces being sold at a very reduced price. Did you know that Once Upon A Child has many uniform pieces for sale in their store. DId you know Walmart, Old Navy, The Gap sell navy bottoms and white tops that work with our school uniform. Thank you for your care in ensuring the uniform is respected and worn with pride. 

 

French Festival!! 

Chris Akkerman's Francophone Festival Celebration is on Thursday, March 2, 2023. This Festival will last most of the day and will take place inside and outside the school. Therefore, please make sure your child comes to school dressed for the weather with tuques, mittens and snow pants.  

Our school staff and 'Canadian Maple Shack Inc.' will run the carnival. As part of our Festival each student will be provided with a Traditional Canadian Maple Syrup Candy, which is authentic maple syrup rolled on snow using a popsicle stick. Students will also be participating in authentic Francophone games/activities, such as tug-o-war, sack races and musical spoons. Students are encouraged to dress as a Francophone would dress. Examples of how to dress would be plaid shirt, tuques, or even a traditional Métis style sash around the waist (Ceinture Fléchée). Please see French Google Classroom for more examples. Of course, students can always wear their casual uniform.  

·       If your child is not able to eat the Maple Syrup candy (Maple Syrup cookies for M/Wed Kindergarten students), please put a note in your child's agenda indicating your decision. 

·       If you are able to volunteer and have security clearance, please let your child's teacher know. 

Should the weather not cooperate this event will be rescheduled.  

We are looking forward to this event and celebrating French Canadian culture, history and Indigenous connections. 

Merci, 

Mrs. Fontanne 

FSL Teacher

Gr 1 – 5 families will have an opportunity to attend a conference immediately following student dismisal on Thursday or during the early evening on Thursday March 9. It will be important for all families to arrive on time for their conference as conference times will need to begin and end on time to accommodate all CAS families. 

 Children are preparing with their teachers  to share their current and most recent learning and next steps in learning in math, reading, and writing.  Many classrooms will also have health, science, social studies, and well bing activities available for your children to share with you. The music room will be open for your child to share what has been happening in music. French will be shared within some classes and in the Learning Commons for other classes.  

Before you attend Student Led Conferences, please ensure you have reviewed your child's report card on line. This is a great opportunity to reflect on the current learning discussed and shared in the report card, their next steps and best ways to support your student learner.

Attendance and Lates  

The Calgary Board of Education recognizes the strong positive correlation between attendance and a student's success in school. Regular attendance sets students on the path to reaching their full potential. It is critical that parents, as partners in your child's learning, understand that chronic absenteeism (missing 10% or more of instructional time) and chronic lates can negatively influence a student's learning.  

Did you know?  

· By grade 6, regular attendance is a predictor of high school completion.  

· By grade 9, regular attendance is a better predictor of graduation rates than test scores.  

· Students who attend daily are less likely to fall behind in school.  

· Concerns with school attendance may indicate other challenges in a student's life.  

· Regular school attendance is an important life skill on the path to graduation and future employment. 

 

Lunchroom Registration and Fees 

Every family in CAS has had lunchroom fees added to their fees account. If you had previously registered for lunch and paid your fees and not pay your fees then yours will be up to date. If you did not register for lunch, your fees have been added since September. All families need to pay for the lunchroom supervision service.   Kindly log into your mycbe account and pay for the service.   Thank you. 

Dressing for the Weather 

We had two very cold days this past week. The office handed out over 30 pairs of mittens to students who arrived without mittens. There were dozens of students in running shoes when the temperature was colder than –20. Even more troubling was that over half of our students came to school without snow pants. We had students arrive at school with only a hoodie on. It is essential  all students come to school dressed for the weather. Kindly ensure your child is dressed for the weather before they leave your home in the morning. We know Calgary can get cold, we also know the weather can change quickly. All students will be outside at the beginning of the day as well as at morning recess, at lunch recess, and possibly for learning opportunities. All students go outside up to –20C. Your child will enjoy this time outside if they are well dressed for the weather. 

Uniforms 

We know our families value and appreciate the uniform students wear. This past week, Ms. Brar's and Ms. Markusoff's classes were outstanding in how they wore the formal uniform on Tuesday at the assembly. Lately though, many students are not arriving at school in a proper uniform or even in a uniform at all. A few tips: 

·       Pants, leggings, sweat pants are never worn under a tunic. Socks or leotards are worn under a tunic. Shorts are also great to wear under a tunic, but they should never be visible. 

·       If a student is cold at school, they should be wearing their cardigan, not a hoodie from their favourite sport's team.  

·       If you are wearing pants, they are pants/ trousers/ slacks. Jeans, sweat pants, leggings are not part of the uniform. 

·       If students are wearing a shirt underneath their dress shirt, it should be white. 

·       Dress shirts should be white, not grey, not stained. 

·       Fancy coloured socks are part of weekend wear and are not part of the school uniform. 

·       Formal days include cardigans, ties for those wearing a dress shirt and pants.  

·       Hair accessories and heat coverings should match the TLC colours if at all possible.  

Taking pride in how we dress is an important part of being a TLC student. Wearing the TLC uniform correctly and proudly will improve student confidence. We look forward to celebrating how great the students look in their uniform this coming week.  ​

Lunchroom Registration and Fees 

Every student at CAS remains at school for lunch. If you haven’t registered for lunchroom supervision, we will be registering you on Monday. All fees for lunchroom will be retroactive to the beginning of the school year. All families need to pay for the lunchroom supervision service. Currently only about 150 students have signed up for lunchroom supervision, yet we have 630 students who are here every day for lunch supervision. Kindly log into your mycbe account and register for lunchroom and pay for the service. Thank you. 

 

Math Games & Procedural Fluency 

The link below is a website developed by our very own Ms. Nelson! Within this website you will find math games and strategies that address both addition and subtraction. These strategies can be adapted from what is presented to make them relevant to younger children and older children. We hope you have fun exploring these great math strategies with your children.

CBE Report Cards 

By the end of January, your child’s report card will be available to view in your MyCBE account. The report card is one of the ways teachers communicate how your child is progressing in their learning. Teachers may also communicate learning progress through parent/teacher conferences, your child’s daily work and assignments, and other ongoing communication with you. In October, families received communication (K-6 New Curriculum | Revised Report Card) about changes to this year’s report card, which included information about updated reporting Stems.  

What to Expect in Your Child’s Report Card  

This fall, the CBE began implementing new curriculum in Mathematics and English Language Arts and Literature (K-3) and Physical Education and Wellness (K-6). Some of the learning outcomes in the new curriculum are new or may have previously been taught in later grades.   

This means that students may be learning new curriculum without having had instruction in related outcomes in the previous grade and may see grades lower than what they might previously have achieved. This is to be expected whenever new curriculum is introduced. It may take more than one school year to build these foundational skills. While curriculum is grade-specific, many concepts are revisited each year, giving students the opportunity to build on their previous knowledge and achieve success.  

Teachers work to plan the delivery of curriculum content in ways that are engaging, creative and inspiring and will continue to respond to the needs of students as we work through this transition together. As always, if you have specific questions about your child’s learning please connect with their teacher. 

 

Assessment and Reporting 

All families should be able to log into their Power School account on Monday January 30th   to access your child’s January report card for 2022-2023 school year. As is always the case, we are hopeful you can provide us with a little bit of grace should things not go as planned when you log in. We are hopeful all will go smoothly. Should it not, know we will communicate with all families with next steps.  We all love technology best  when it works! 

We are hopeful all parents have had on-going opportunities to visit power school on their desktop computer.  The experience and information offered on a desktop computer is thought to be significantly different from the experience on your cell phone.  This year, teachers have spent a considerable amount of time sharing information about your child’s learning through Power School.  

Attendance:  Please note, on the report card, every day is marked as two distinct pieces. We have both an AM and a PM part to all days except Friday.  As such, your attendance will look like you have attended (or missed) many days. Please divide this attendance number in half for a better representation of the days present and away. 

Families will also notice, we are working towards being more “correct” in our word choice. As such, many teachers (not all) are using different pronouns than (he/she, him/her). Rather, teachers are using they, them, their. These changes are not errors but an effort at being more sensitive to our entire student population here at CAS. 

Attached here is a document shared widely within the CBE. CAS families are familiar with this document as we share it every year. This document assists us all in better understanding the indicators 1, 2, 3, 4 on our report card.   

Finally, at CAS we hope to be consistent within and across all grades in the writing of our report card. Below are terms we use when we are talking about student ability and achievement. When we use these indicator words we are matching them to the number listed at the top of the column. We share this to help families understand the thought we have put into assessment and reporting and to understand the subtleties between these words. This also allows us to be consistent within and across grades with the descriptors we use when speaking of a student’s achievement.

We hope you will celebrate the amazing achievement your child has made this term in learning as you explore all of the information shared in the report card.
