Our second semester is off to a great start. The students are all working hard and things are progressing well. The start of semester two also means the start of graduation planning and the practicing of the “Grand March”. I would like to thank Mr. Moorlag once again for volunteering his time, knowledge and expertise to orchestrate the “Grand March”. There have been four Grad / Parent meetings and all of the parent grad committees have been filled. Thanks to all of the parents that have volunteered their time to be a part of Grad 2010. If you are still interested in helping with any of our grad committees, please call Mr. Aspenes.
There are still a large number of students that have not paid their school fees for the 2009-2010 school year. We have almost $24,000 of outstanding student fees. If you have not paid your school fees, I would ask that you take the time to clear your students’ accounts. Also, please remember that if students plan to be involved in extra-curricular activities, including Graduation activities, their school fees need to be paid in full before they will be allowed to participate. If your school account has been cleared, I would like to thank you for doing so. If you are having difficulty paying your school account or if you are not sure whether you owe any monies for your child’s account please call the school.
Currently, we are working on our registration process for next year. Students will be starting to bring home information regarding their registration for the 2010-2011 school year. Please spend some time discussing your child’s choices of course selections as well as the recommendations from their previous teachers so that they may be placed in the appropriate level of academic courses for optimum success. Parents please remember to pay particular attention to all of the graduation requirements that are listed at the top of the grade 12 registration forms.
On March 11th, we will be having our Early Intervention / Parent Teacher interview night from 6:30 – 9:00 P.M. at the Stettler Legion Hall. If you receive an early intervention letter, it is strongly recommended that you attend this night to find out from your child’s teachers the reason and explanation for the letter coming home. If you are unable to make it during this time, you are more than welcome to call the school at 742-3466 to arrange an appointment. This night is also open to any parents that would like to find out how their child is progressing with their studies. Also on the same night, some Teacher Advisors in our school in conjunction with their students and parents will be hosting ‘Student learning Conferences’ from 4:30-6:30 P.M. at our school. Please see the note from Mr. Aspenes on page 2 of this
month’s newsletter for more information on our ‘Student Learning Conference’.
Our modernizations are moving along quite nicely. Students now have access to the North entrance again as well as the PAC from inside. We are also able to use our gym floor although the change rooms are not quite finished. Our new library space is very beautiful and is working out really well for our school. We have chosen to put up three temporary classrooms in the old library space instead of having to use portables. Things are not perfect, by no means, but it could be a lot worse! I ask that everyone continue to be patient as we move forward with this project. In the end, the students, parents, staff and the community will have a first class facility that will be second to none in Central Alberta. I would like to invite any parents or community members to call and come into the school, for a quick tour if you would like to
see the progress that has been made so far.
If there are any items of interest to you that you would like me to address in the monthly newsletters, please call or e-mail me and we can discuss them. Last, I hope that everyone has a relaxing and enjoyable Spring Break.
