There is no school for students this Friday as we will be hosting parent-teacher conferences. We are looking forward to seeing all the families tomorrow for conferences! Please bring your child with you for the interviews as it is important that they are part of the conversation about their growth so far this year. We would also like to wish everyone a great spring break. The first day back for students is Tuesday, April 2. Parent Teacher Conferences
K-6 Parent-teacher Conferences will be held Friday, March 22 from 8am – 4pm, in person. Kindergarten conferences will also be held on Thursday, March 21. Parents/guardians can book a 15-minute slot with their teacher starting on Saturday, March 16 at 8:00 am through your PowerSchool MyCBE Account. If you require assistance, please contact the main office. Free Vision Screening for Students
Nation's Vision will be at Alex Munro School the week of April 8-12 to offer free vision exams for students. If you want your child's vision screened, simply fill out the form sent home this week and return it by April 3. Do You Want to Volunteer (more) at Alex Munro School?
If you are already cleared and approved to volunteer at our school, AMPA would like to connect with you to find out more information about your interest and availability regarding volunteering at the school. If you would like to provide this information to AMPA, please email them at ampavolunteers@gmail.com. AMPA will then be using this information when helping the school recruit volunteers for various school events. If you are not yet cleared for volunteering and are interested in becoming a volunteer, please contact Linda in the office at 403-777-6600, and she will provide you with the steps required to get cleared and registered. Thank you – we always appreciate our volunteers! Ramadan and Physical Activity
We understand that students who are fasting in observance of Ramadan may have less energy during the day. To accommodate for students who are fasting, teachers will modify Physical Education activities. Students will still be expected to learn the daily lesson and/or skill and can do some practicing of these skills, however when the activity or practice of the skills requires a lot of energy teachers will allow students to take a break or sit out. Students should not be missing Phys. Ed classes as the skills taught are directly from the Alberta curriculum and is a requirement for students to learn. Again, all students are expected to attend Phys. Ed classes, and with the above modifications in place, it is not necessary for any student to miss Phys. Ed class. Safety and Traffic Reminders
Thank-you for your care and attention to the safety of all of our students and staff in and around the school each day. Please use the designated crosswalks when crossing with students – crossing between cars or around busses reduces visibility and increases risk for injury. We have had few calls about jaywalking in front of the school. A reminder that there is no parent drop off or pick up of students in the staff parking lot. Families must use street parking around the school. Please note the no stopping zone in front of the school. Please do not stop here. This area is for safe pedestrian traffic and bus parking. We will have a school bus and two daycare busses that need to safely load and unload students in this space. Upcoming Dates:
