It is my pleasure to welcome everyone to the inaugural school year of Joane Cardinal-Schubert High School. We are all very excited to be welcoming students and finally having the hallways and classrooms filled with energy and enthusiasm for learning. It is our mission to assist every student to achieve their unique potential, to feel welcome, connected and part of creating the culture at Joane Cardinal-Schubert High School. We will challenge each student to grow academically, socially and emotionally. We have a great team of teachers ready to create classroom activities that will engage students in work that is relevant to their life and their future.
I apologize for the reduced level of communication up to this point. There are a number of reasons, which are not meant as excuses, but may help explain the reality of our situation this year. We were unable to access the Student Information System since the middle of June as the CBE transitioned to Power School. Therefore, we did not have access to any student information (time tables or email addresses) again until recently. At that time there was some caution required in advertising our first day of school as September 4th. But at this time, two weeks from welcoming students into our building, we are confident we will be ready!!
We hope that you will find our website helpful and informative. For quick updates and announcements we will use the school’s Instagram account (JCS_Ravens), Twitter account (JCS_Ravens) as well our website. Our website is updated on a regular basis and will provide more in depth details of the activities at Joane Cardinal-Schubert High School. Please refer to these sites on a regular basis.
I am honored to serve as the principal of Joane Cardinal-Schubert. It is truly a privilege to be part of this new community. It is my hope that we can work together to build strong, positive relationships where students are cared for, pushed to excel and become contributing members of tomorrow’s society. Please feel free to contact me at any time at gctink@cbe.ab.ca
Once again, welcome to our new school!
Sincerely,
Garry Tink
