Dear Families,
Please take a few minutes to review the items below to help us make sure things go smoothly for the kids in the coming days. All of our Portal Announcements are also posted on our school website if you every need to double check any school updates.
- Term Two Conferences are NEXT Week! – Parents, please connect with your classroom teacher(s) if you have not set up a Zoom conference time yet. Next Thursday (March 4th ) is an early dismissal for conferencing and students are dismissed at 11:30. Next Friday (March 5th) is also a conference day and there is no school for students on this day except for their Zoom Conference. Classes will follow the usual controlled and staggered student release format for the Thursday early dismissal.
Covid-19 has created unprecedented circumstances for learning: there is nothing “normal” with respect to how students, teachers, and parents are interacting this year. At c̓əsqənelə we have prioritized three things:
- Building relationships with our students because we believe they are the foundation of education.
- Supporting our students social-emotional health because we recognize that mental health and wellness are very important during a time when people are not sure about the future.
- Meeting students “where they are” in their learning journey and planning instruction from there. We know that there were many differences in students’ and families’ learning situations in the spring and that learning was interrupted or altered.
As we communicate student learning this March, we will be celebrating students’ strengths, identifying their needs, and together determining goals for the upcoming term.
We will again display all lost and found items that we have collected during these conference days to help families find missing clothing.
