Hi Everyone,

We made it to the final week of ongoing learning! Please know that I know it has not been easy balancing schooling, households and the stress of the Covid-19 pandemic over the last 14 weeks. I hope that the Grade 4 team has made some parts easier, but I know that has not been the case for everyone. It is our hope to be back to a somewhat normal school experience by September, and we are already planning for this.

My classroom will be archived as of June 28th. To prepare for this I am returning all student assignments to them, so that they are the owners of the work they have completed. All the assignments they have finished or worked on will be found in their drive in their classroom folder. Assignments will continue to be viewable in the classroom, but students will not be able to update, hand in work, or comment on anything. Please do not resubmit work!

This week our class work will be a bit lighter. For math I am encouraging students to go on their Prodigy account, do Xtramath, or do the fun math games. For Literacy, students are encouraged to write a letter to a student that will start grade 4 in the fall. There are also some other fun end of year writing prompts.

Since we are unable to have a year-end celebration together, I am hoping to watch a movie from one of the novels we read. We will be watching either Holes or Wonder next week on google meet.  I will split up the days and watch half the movie on Wednesday and half on Thursday. However, this is technology dependent, as I do not have the right tools to do this as of yet, but I am working on it.  

Report Cards will be available on June 24th using your MyCBE/PowerSchool account. They are not available using smartphones, you will need to use a computer to view the report card. If you have not set up an account please visit this site, https://sis.cbe.ab.ca/public/home.html.
If you require a paper copy, please contact the school before June 26th to arrange a time for pick up.

On Friday June 26th we will have a SVS teacher goodbye parade! We will sit out in front of the school in our lawn chairs and wave goodbye from 11:00am - 12:00pm.

Technology drop off: June 23 to June 25 9am - 3pm
