It is important for parents/guardians to understand how students are doing in school. The report card is one component of communicating student learning. Parents/Guardians of students in Grades 1-4 at The Hamptons School will have access to view student report cards starting Monday, January 30. Accessing Report Cards through MyCBE Parents and guardians can log in to MyCBE to view student information including report cards, comments from your child's teacher, assignments and grades, and attendance information. For best access to information, log in to the MyCBE portal instead of using the PowerSchool app. Need help? Check out these videos for more information on how to sign in and navigate the portal.

| Dear Families, Thank you for making me feel so welcome at The Hamptons School. I am settling in and getting to know the students. Hamptons Community Association Rink Repair The boards around the rink at the community association are being replaced over the next 2-4 weeks and this may impact parking. There will be a fence placed around the rink to ensure safety. National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – September 30 Orange Shirt Day is September 30. At the Hamptons school, we recognized Orange Shirt Day on September 29 with a school assembly. It was amazing to see all the students wearing orange. Truth and Reconciliation began in 2013 when residential school survivor Phyllis Webstad shared how her orange shirt was taken away on her first day at residential school. This story is an opportunity for students and staff to reflect on history, legacy and implications, to discuss stories of survival and strength and to share ways we can work together toward truth and reconciliation. It is also an opportunity to commit to commemorating the children who attended residential schools, recognizing their experiences, honoring them, and sharing a collective commitment to ensure that every child matters and that each student is welcome, safe, respected and cared for in their learning community every day. All CBE schools follow the administrative regulations on the Student Code of Conduct and Progressive Student Discipline. Please familiarize yourself with these regulations as our work with students and families will focus on the expectations contained within these regulations. You can learn more about this on our website. | | | National Day for Truth and Reconciliation -No School for Students | | | | Non-Instructional Day – No School for all students | | Thanksgiving Day – No school |

Hi Hamptons families, I am super excited to get the opportunity to be part of the Hamptons school. I was fortunate to meet a lot of students and their families this week at the school and during the open house. I wanted to share a little bit about myself. I have worked for the CBE for over 20 years in various schools. I have lived in Calgary with my husband for almost 25 years. We have three children and two of them are currently attending University. My youngest child is in Grade 10 at Crescent Heights High School. Hope to meet you soon!

| January is here and we begin the year with a week of on-line learning. We hope to have the students back for in-school learning next week. In-school classes have been going well. Students wear their masks most of the time except for lunch and outside times. Sanitizer is used regularly. Students stay in their cohort (homeroom) for all activities inside and outside. Students appear happy and eager to be at school. Registration for kindergarten begins January 11. Please let friends and neighbours know about our wonderful school. We are happy to have them join our Hamptons school family. There will be a virtual School Council meeting on January 27. The link will be sent out the day of the meeting and all parents are welcome to attend. In February, the teachers will be attending Teachers’ Convention on-line on February 11 and 12. There are many educational and thought provoking sessions to attend and teachers are re-energized from the experiences. Enjoy the February break and we look forward to more great learning experiences when we return.

| In November, we had a wonderful Remembrance Day Assembly. Each class contributed a video, poem or artwork and everything was shared to each class in their own homerooms. We will hold our second School Council meeting on November 25. We will discuss the School Results Report, the School Development Plan, the school budget and the Report to Parents on Fees. These documents will be found on our school website. At each meeting, a grade group of teachers presents on what is happening in their classrooms. The grade 1 teacher, Mrs. Oseen, will present this time. The next meeting is January 27. Please join us on-line and learn more about your school. In December, we are promoting kindness and caring. We will have a craft afternoon to decorate the school. We will play carols in the classes. We will support The Calgary Foodbank as our Christmas charity. We hope students learn that they can make a difference in peoples’ lives. . By showing children how they can be of service to others, we are supporting children who care and contribute to society. Thank you parents for working alongside of us to instill these qualities in your children. December will have Parent-Teacher conferences on December 10 and 11. These interviews are very important as it provides time for parents, teachers and students to discuss the learning experiences that have happened over the past 3 months. Interviews will be done virtually. Report cards will not be sent home until February. I would like to thank the parents who are following the traffic rules in the parking lot and on the street at the front of the school. We have had to remind parents to drive carefully and watch for children at all times. We all worry about keeping children safe so it is up to all of us to obey the rules. Registration for next year begins in January. Please let friends and neighbours know about our wonderful school. We are happy to have them join our Hamptons school family. During the winter break, enjoy your family time and we look forward to new learning and experiences after the winter break.

| Welcome back to our new school year. We are so happy to have so many students back at the school and we wish all of our HUB students well too. The students are so eager and they are following all of the new protocols set in place and the whole school has adjusted well to our new ‘normal’ way of doing things. In fact, it feels normal now. We have had PASS soccer here for 6 days in September. The students enjoyed having the chance to improve their soccer skills and learn more about the game. The students can play soccer during recess and lunch within their cohort (classroom) group. This will be the only specialist that we will have during the next few months as the sport was able to be held outside the whole time. We were able to do our Terry Fox Run during our individual gym classes. You will be receiving a phone call for the Parent-Teacher conferences on September 24 and 25. The teachers will be sharing what they have learned about your child and you will be able to help them understand your child. Also, please consider attending the School Council Meeting on September 30. This is the first meeting for this year and there will be lots to share and discuss. We have a newly elected School Council whose members are eager to get the year going. We welcome all parents to the on-line meeting and a link will be provided. We will keep you updated as the year evolves Please contact us at any time.

| It is June and we are rapidly approaching the end of the
school year. We have had such a
different kind of year. The last few
months of online learning have been an adjustment for us all. Students still interacted with their teachers
and were involved in many interesting assignments. We must, also, remember the
many months that students were at school and all the special activities like
sports specialists, theater groups, teacher’s pet programs, field trips, etc.
that made the school year memorable.
Our school has 178 students registered for next year. We have managed to keep all of our permanent staff
although we will wait until the fall to hire the music teacher once we know our
actual numbers in September. Mrs. Komori is a temporary teacher and her term
ends June 30. She has been a wonderful
addition to our staff this year.
We will continue with our SKILL class which has been renamed
EES (Enhanced Educational Supports). An
EES class has 9 children with one teacher and two education assistant. Students receive personalized and functional
curriculum related to the development of functional academic,
social-communication, independence, daily living, safety and leisure skills.
These students will participate in the school community as opportunities arise.
We have organized the school for next year as follows:
Kindergarten Mrs.
De Nance Room
11
2 Grade 1 classes Mrs.
Oseen, Mrs. Hughes Rooms
4, 5
2 Grade 2 classes Ms.
Barry (Ms. Ringheim until March 1),
Mrs. Werle Rooms 2, 6
3 Grade ¾ classes
Mrs. Speer Room
1
Mrs. Stetz, Mr. Claussen Rooms
7, 8
EES Class Mrs.
Armstrong Room
3
We have excellent staff that will do their very best to
ensure all students learn.
Thank you to all parents for sending us such wonderful
students. We enjoy the privilege of
teaching your children.
Enjoy the summer break and we look forward to an exciting
new school year in September. By August, we will know more about what the
school year will look like.
