Welcome to a New School Year

September, 2017

The new school year has arrived—we would like to welcome our new families and welcome back our returning families.  We are very excited about this upcoming school year.  Our school motto is Together, We Succeed, and we are looking forward to working together with you to support the success of your child.

Please take a few minutes to read over our school handbook located in the front of your child’s agenda.  This will help you to be familiar with the rules and expectations of our school, and also includes information you can use in working with your child. 

Ongoing communication between the home and school is one of the factors that supports your child’s success.  If you have any questions or concerns about your child, please contact your child’s teacher by phone or you can also use your child’s agenda to send notes to your child’s teacher.  If you have other questions or concerns, please contact the school administration team by calling the school at 403-500-2054 or via email at lisa.ashworth@cssd.ab.ca or teresa.cusano@cssd.ab.ca.  You can also stay informed by reading our monthly newsletter, visiting our school website, visiting the classroom blogs (there are links on the school website), or following us on Twitter. 

We believe that we have an outstanding school—however, we are always looking for ways to grow and improve.  Some of the areas we will be focusing on this year include communication, literacy, planning, and assessment.  Please watch for more information this year as we create our school plans over the coming months.  These will be shared at school council, on our website, and through the newsletter. 

Our district faith theme this year is “Ask, and it shall be given to you”.  Through this theme we will be focusing on prayer, to help us not only to speak to God, but also to get to know him more.  Watch for different opportunities throughout the school year to help us share and develop our prayer life.

We believe that all students can succeed.  It is our sincere hope that all children in our school community feel safe, supported, and cared for, and that they all experience a successful and happy school year.

Wishing you all a wonderful school year!

Mrs. Ashworth
