I wanted to take this time to provide families with a final update for the school year.
I would first like to thank all our families for an amazing year! I know that I speak for all our staff when I say that this has been a year unlike any other. It has been full of change, as we welcomed new friends and families to the Ramsay Community! It took our whole communities support to make this such an amazing year for our children.
This year our excellent staff went above and beyond to create learning experiences and opportunities for all our students. Some of the learning highlights of the year were:
Implementing the New AB Curriculum (ELAL and Math – Grades K-3; PE/Wellness – Grades K-6).
Welcoming many new learners across all our Grades.
Having many off-site activities to extend learning to places in our community.
Embracing Land-Based Learning through Indigenous Holistic Learning.
Through all of these and many other learning experiences, we were able to see our students foster their love on learning, build understanding and ask many questions.
Our School Council and Parent Association has continued to be valuable partners in our Ramsay learning community. Working together with the school, the Ramsay School Council was instrumental in providing a warm welcome for our new families. They were able to embrace the many changes in the school and support the learning of all students while promoting community through special events from our opening Taco Night to our Activity Day. The Ramsay Parent Association has also played a very important role throughout the school year. They have supported the school in every way possible, through funding our field trips, residencies, classroom enhancements, and various projects. Without these two groups, we would not have the amazing opportunities that we do.
With the end of the school year, I would like to take a moment to acknowledge some of our temporary teachers who joined us. These teachers stepped up and did an amazing job in our changing school. Our school community thanks: Ms. Leusink, Ms. Davies, Ms. Yasin, Ms. Maquilan, Mr. Junaid, and Ms. LaCour for all their hard work and wish them the best in their future adventures.
As we end our year, we must also look forward to the next school year. A year that is sure to be full of changes, achievements, and adventures for all our students. We look forward to welcoming some new staff to Ramsay School.
Mrs. Traci Peterson – Assistant Principal
Ms. Kaleigh Cavanaugh – Kindergarten
Ms. Jody Brox – Grade 3&4 Team
Ms. Elyssa Jamroziak – Grade 3&4 Team

Ramsay Staff would like to wish all of you a wonderful Summer Break! We wish you the best in your next adventures, whether you are at Ramsay in the fall or moving to another school.
Sincerely,
Shane
