Dressing for the Weather

  • Use extra caution when crossing the streets – sometimes cars have a difficult time stopping when it is slippery 
  • Busses can be late due to poor driving conditions – ensure you are checking for bus updates and dressing for the weather 
  • Dress every day for outside activities.  Snow pants, hat, mittens/gloves - Please no scarves as these can be a choking hazard 
  • Snow at school stays on the ground  - children are never allowed to throw snow at school as it can cause injuries 
  • Snow packs down around the school and school grounds into ice despite Ms. Li's best efforts to keep the snow clear.  We recommend to walk like a penguin and use care when using the walkways around the school.

WHAT’S HAPPENING IN… ?

Research on best adolescent learning has shown importance must be given to creating curricular learning tasks that bring independent ideas and facts together under larger unified concepts - showing how what we learn applies to the world. This year, like last yeear, we will be using Niitsitapi values (Blackfoot Nation; Piikani, Kainai, Siksika) as guiding thoughts. These big ideas include being aware of the environment though observation, that our universe often contains balance, and that we should aim to transfer what we know to others. Our concept this year is

Pommotsiiysinni | To transfer something to others
