Ongoing Learning

Dear Grade 1/2 Families,

I hope that this communication finds your family well. On Monday, we will embark on learning in a new environment. We will work through this week to establish a connection with your family to facilitate ongoing learning according to Alberta Education guidelines. We are committed to making this process as effective as possible.

What to expect in the coming days:

Monday and Tuesday

• Contact from your child’s classroom teacher. Initial contact will be attempted via a phone call. If your child, where appropriate, is able to be part of the phone call, that would be a great opportunity for personal contact to be initiated. Your teacher will be asking for some information:
• Do you have access to a computer, laptop, iPad/tablet or smart phone and printer?
• Do you have access to the internet?
• Is your only option a paper-based learning package?
• An email from your child’s teacher as a follow-up that will introduce you to a platform through which ongoing communication and instruction will take place. This email will come to the email address(es) contained in PowerSchool

Tuesday, March 31– Friday, April 3

• Ongoing communication from your child’s classroom teacher establishing common understanding of the learning platforms for the roll out of lessons
• Development of a plan for students requiring paper-based learning packages
• Ongoing updates from the CBE and from Capitol Hill via email and web site

Thank you for your ongoing support and patience as we undertake this new approach to learning.

Grade 1/2 Team 😊😁
