School Update - January 9 
 
Good Evening Grizzly Families,
By now, many families may have heard from your child's classroom teacher, and we wanted to send a school wide update to follow the CBE emails you have received over the past few days.
We realize last week may have been challenging for many of our families with school off, I thank you for your support and I want you to know that we have worked hard to continue to provide a safe and supported environment for our students and teachers, given the current circumstances.  I speak for all of our teachers and support staff when I say that they are excited to have students returning back to school in our building tomorrow morning.
Student Attendance
Please refer to the Alberta Daily Checklist if you are unsure of attending school due to symptoms, illness, close contact etc. If you are still unsure, please call the office during regular school hours.

School Mask Updates
Due to the current health situation, we are encouraging parents to speak with their child about the importance of wearing their masks appropriately in school.  We ask that you speak with your child and ensure that there is an extra mask in your child's backpack.  We have not received any masks at this point, but we anticipate to receive medical grade masks by the end of the week.  A message will be sent out to all families with this update as soon as they come in.
D2L and Google Classroom
We have asked all teachers to do there very best to continue to update their online presence as many times as possible throughout the week.  Please note that teachers are not expected at this point to provide lessons or instruction online for those students not able to attend due to COVID policies. Check D2L or Google Classroom daily for any classroom updates. 
School Sports - Basketball
As a school, we have unfortunately made the difficult decision to postpone our extracurricular activities in-person.  We realize many of our students have been working very hard prior to the break and have been looking forward to playing basketball in the new year, but we feel that this is in the best interest of teachers, coaches and students, based on our current health situation.
