Wednesday, September 16


Please excuse my absence from the blog. I was experiencing some technical difficulties! 

Please read through the following information. If you have any questions, please send me an email at ncgoodall@cbe.ab.ca. Thank you!


September Updates:

1. Terry Fox Run and Orange Shirt Day -Sept. 30

The Terry Fox Run will not look the same this year. Instead of walking as a school, we will be walking as a classroom during Physical Education. We have also been supporting the Terry Fox Foundation by recording our walking everyday.  We are trying to walk 163 km (the distance to Head Smashed In Buffalo Jump) over the next two weeks. If we make our goal, Miss Nanavaty will surprise us with a  reward! We are still accepting donations for the foundation. 

September 30 is also Orange Shirt Day. Please wear orange to promote awareness about the residential school system and the impact it has had on Indigenous communities. 

2. Meet the Teacher

Conferences are September 24 and September 25. If you have not already done so, please book an appointment online. Meetings will occur via Skype or by phone.  I will provide more information on the meeting format soon. 


3. Google Classroom

Beginning Monday, September 21, Google Classroom will be available for students who are missing school due to illness. Students will be able to log-in and and complete the same work we are working on in the classroom. 

4.  New AM Entry Procedures

Also beginning Monday, September 21, students will be able to enter the school as soon as they arrive in the morning. Students should proceed to the same entry door at the back of the school and a staff member will be there to let them in. 

5. New Lunch Times

Beginning Monday, September 21, Grade 4 will be eating lunch from 12:20 -12:40 and then will head outside from 12:40 - 1:10. 



Welcome to Grade 4!
