Good Evening Parents, Caregivers, Students and Guardians,
As we approach the Family Day long weekend, I want to take a moment to recognize the significance of this holiday in Alberta. Family Day was introduced in 1990 as a way to highlight the importance of family and encourage people to take time to connect with their loved ones. In the midst of our busy lives, it serves as a reminder to pause and appreciate the people who support, encourage, and shape us every day.
In addition to Family Day, this time of year also brings the annual Teachers’ Convention for Calgary Board of Education staff. This event provides an invaluable opportunity for educators to engage in professional learning, collaborate with colleagues, and explore new strategies to enhance student success. Teachers take part in workshops, discussions, and presentations led by experts in education, ensuring they continue to grow in their practice and bring fresh ideas into the classroom. Investing in professional learning is essential to maintaining a dynamic and innovative learning environment for our students.
I also want to extend my appreciation to our School Council executive and all parents who attended last night’s meeting. I truly value these conversations and the opportunity to collaborate with you. We had a great discussion about recent and upcoming school events, and your input remains vital in shaping the experiences we provide for our students. Parent voice plays an important role in our school community, and I encourage you to join us at our next meeting on April 8.
Wishing you all a wonderful Family Day long weekend filled with quality time and special moments with your loved ones.
Sincerely,
Anne Kromm
Principal
