| Greetings West Dover Families,
We have posted three important documents on our school website. The School Development Plan outlines the priorities in student learning for the 2021-22 school year. This school year we will be working on improving achievement in the areas of reading skill acquisition, numerical operation skills, and increasing on task learning time in classrooms. The School Improvement Results Report describes student achievement indicators related to the 2020-21 school year and reports to the community on results from the Alberta Education Assurance Survey which describes indicators such as Education Quality, Safe and Caring Schools, and Curriculum. The School Fees report outlines fees charged to parents for things such as field trips. Here are the links to each of these items:

| Welcome Back to School Sunday Message – Aug 15, 2021 Welcome back to school. I am certain that you are wondering about school re-entry guidelines and implications for health and safety regarding covid 19. At present, we have received direction from our school division that all students and staff will be asked to wear masks as one of the preventative health measures. Please send your child with a mask. As you know the Province has indicated that no mask mandate is being imposed by the province, but that school jurisdictions can implement enhanced safety measures as they see appropriate. I will be sure to update you on changes to re-entry protocols as they become available. Several protocols will remain in place for the time being including enhanced cleaning, improved ventilation, hand washing, staggered beginning and endings of the day, staggered lunches and recesses, no visitors within the school, and cohorting of children. If children are presenting with illness they will be asked to be picked up from school. There are also a number of changes to our covid protocols including some field trip possibilities, regular use of the library and home reading initiatives, cohorting of students in the music room, and being able to offer extracurricular clubs. We will also begin on Wednesday, Aug 18 with morning supervision from 745-800 each morning. Our breakfast program will continue operating in the same manner as during 2020-21. Breakfast will be delivered to each classroom after school starts at 8am. There will be no before school breakfast program. Please send your child to school with a bag lunch – there is limited lunch (not for every child) will be offered to children who do not come to school with their own lunch. Staggered entry applies to all regular program classes. Tuesday Aug 17 – family name A-K will attend school from 800-1031; family names L-Z will attend school from 1214-245 Wednesday Aug 18 – family name A-K will attend school from 800-245; family name L-Z will not attend school this day Thursday Aug 19 – family name A-K will not attend school; Family name L-Z will attend school from 800-245pm Friday Aug 20 – all students will attend school 800-1130 Tuesday Aug 17, Wednesday Aug 18, Thursday Aug 19 - all EES students will attend school from 800-245 Friday Aug 20 – all EES students will attend school from 800-1130 We expect that health and safety protocols will evolve over the year. The information shared here is the most current information. Any changes to health and safety protocols will be shared as soon as they become available. Please expect an email from your child’s teacher on Monday Aug 16 explaining what the first day and first week will look like. Looking forward to another fantastic year of learning at West Dover School. |
| Our first day back at school will be Tuesday Aug 17 - 8am. Please look for an email in the coming days from your child's teacher explaining the details of the first few days back to school. If you have questions please let us know by calling the school at 403-777-8260

Mr Sawatzky's class helped to create a map that will be contribute to the creation of concepts maps by measuring the perimeter of the space. Here is the perimeter map.
