Special School Council Meeting - Wednesday, March 15

SPECIAL MEETING!  Our next School Council and Fundraising Society meetings on Wednesday, March 15 at 6:30pm will be a little different.  We are combining our meetings for a special brainstorming session for our extra-curricular programming and fundraising for the 2017-2018 school year.  If you have ideas or would like to have a voice in planning next year's council and fundraising activities this is your chance! The format to allow everyone to share their ideas and thoughts in a low pressure, inclusive way. 

We will ask for the Principal’s and teacher’s reports at the beginning of the meeting and then dive straight into our brainstorming activity. Our first task will be to brainstorm potential activities under the headings below. There will be a short time for discussion and then we will identify priorities for further investigation and discussion at the April meeting.
  • Educational/Academic 
  • Social Events 
  • Grounds (Naturalization, Playground, etc.) 
  • Physical Education 
  • Cultural/Art/Music 
  • Philanthropic/Charitable/Community support 
  • Technology/Classroom Enhancements 
  • Misc. (for anything that doesn’t fit under the other headings)

Can’t make the meeting?  Feel free to forward ideas/questions to any of the Council or Fundraising executive (listed on the school council blog ‘About Us’ page accessible through Rosemont School’s website) or directly to our fearless leaders: 
Jodi Hughes, Council Chair at hugjodi@gmail.com

March 15th Deadline for CBE Online Math Strategy Survey

The deadline for the CBE online Math Strategy Survey is next week. The CBE is developing a K-12 mathematics strategy and they want to hear from parents/guardians on what they should consider when writing the strategy. Please click on the survey website link to fill out the survey by March 15.

You may want to read the following link from Alberta Education which outlines the specific outcomes from each mathematics strand for each grade level: Alberta K-9 Mathematics Program of Studies with Achievement Indicators.
