Hi Parents and Students, An email was sent out to everyone discussing Google Classroom and Google Meet. Please read through it as this will be our new way of learning and communicating with each other. There should be two attachments that were sent to show you how to get to both of these programs. They should be relatively easy to navigate and use. I will no longer be using my blog to share work or information.  Our Google Classroom is setup and I have added everyone using their Google log in information. There are 3 tasks that students need to complete for Monday. As the weeks go on I will have a schedule of the activities and tasks that need to be completed each week and what the expectations are on the front page of our classroom. I have setup a Google Meet for our class on Monday, April 6 at 10:00am. At 9:55am I will share a link on my blog as well as on the front page of my Google Classroom that students can click on to join the Google Meet. I am hoping everyone can make...

Hello Parents and Students, We hope you are well and have had a relaxing spring break.   For the foreseeable future, together we are traveling into the world of online learning.  We thank you for your ongoing patience as we navigate this new journey and continue to take up the Alberta Program of Studies.  We will be providing learning opportunities & activities soon. Your child’s homeroom teacher will connect with you to discuss your child’s access to technology at home, including access to a computer and the internet.  Teachers will email students/parents or by phone call.
