PRINCIPAL CORNER
As a math goal school, we are focusing on best practices in math. One of the things we have been working on is creating “I can” statements in each of the grade levels. “I can” statements are great since they take outcomes and simplify them into learning targets that students can understand. Students can then set goals and know when they have achieved an outcome. Below are a few examples of “I can” statements from primary and middle years grades.
N1.9: I can write a number sentence to go with a story problem up to 20 using objects, pictures, and numbers.
N3.2: I can add and subtract to 1000 in different ways.
N6.3: I can explain the standardized order of operations.
N8.4: I can understand how to multiply and divide positive fractions and mixed numbers concretely, pictorially, and symbolically.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
Our staff parking lots are a “no drop off zone” as they are out of bounds for students.
We urge parents to support us in this safety endeavor by dropping off your children on the west side of the school on Olive Diefenbaker Drive; on Bradbury Drive, east of the Special Needs bus zone and between Gisi Road and Olive Diefenbaker Drive.
We encourage the children to cross all streets in a safe manner by crossing at the corner or at cross walks. Teacher supervision is also provided at our major crosswalks.
The Community Club rink parking lot is the bus pick up zone after school for our parents to meet their children for pick up. Please refrain from turning around in the driveways, as this is disruptive to the homeowners.
