In Our House

When: October 21, 2021 (4:00 - 9:00)

How: As you know, student-parent-teacher conferences will look different this year. Instead of in-person meetings, we will be doing them virtually through Google Meet.

Focus: The focus of this conference will be on connection. We want you, as parents/guardians, along with your child, to lead the conversation. We would like you to identify your child’s strengths, areas for growth, goals (academic, social, emotional), and strategies for success. It would be beneficial to discuss these with your child ahead of time.

Who: We are hopeful that parents/guardians, along with their child, can be part of the Google Meet.

How: If you are interested in booking a conference appointment, you can reach out to your child’s teacher by finding them in our staff directory. The teacher will then provide you with a 10-minute time and schedule a Google Meet invite for the evening of October 21st using your child’s school email address. We strongly encourage your child to present in the conversation. If your child is unavailable or you wish to provide us with an alternate email address to join Google Meet, please discuss this with your child’s teacher. If Google Meet is not available to you, please inform your child’s teacher and alternate plans can be made.

Next Steps Following Student - Parent - Teacher Conferences: This information will be valuable when our staff engages in collaborative responses to student learning. As we value parent communication, we encourage you to reach out to teachers at any point throughout the year to discuss student learning and student progress.

The Ecole Charlie Killam Music Parent Association is happy to announce that we are once again running our popular VIP Meats fundraiser in partnership with Ecole Charlie Killam School Council. The profits realized will be split between the Grade 7 and 8 band students, the Music Parent Association, and the ECKS School Council.

Money raised for the music program will be used in two ways:

- For grade 7 and 8 band students, their money raised will go towards their band trips and camps

- The band program will utilize their portion of the general profits for instrument repairs, and any other necessary expenses to help in rebuilding the program.

- Money raised for the school will go towards enhancements to the Learning Commons which all students use and love as well as towards more outdoor activity equipment.

Order forms will be given out to students on October 6, and all orders will be due back in by October 21, 2021. (Only e- transfer will be accepted as payment for orders.)

Please send orders to ckmusicparents@gmail.com (please remember to put the student's name and grade in the message area of the e-transfer and on the order sheet).

Should you need a new copy of the form or one to reference, I have attached a PDF version!

As a reminder, our school picture day, initially scheduled for October 8th, has been rescheduled. Once we confirm a date, we will let you know!
