Parents might be interested in reading more about the dangers of fentanyl (Fentanyl information for Teachers and Parents). Drug Awareness is part of our Health Program and this will be addressed in health class by TA teachers. We encourage all parents to have this discussion with their children to reinforce the dangers of this drug.
Staffing Update: We have increased Mrs. Deeks time at our school to work in the area of literacy support to help students who are struggling in the area of reading comprehension. She will begin this work on Nov. 14, 2016. Ms. Mahal will take over Mrs. Booth's maternity leave at the beginning of December. School Council: We are currently looking for parents from our Grade 7 population to join our School Council this year as most of our parents come from our grade 9 population. If you are able to attend the next meeting is Nov. 28 at 6:00 pm in the library. We would like to update parents on some changes to our staff. Ms. Hamm has extended her medical leave until December 12 and Ms. Grey will continue in her position. Mrs. Beavers (in ACCESS class) has also extended her leave for another 5 weeks.
The school has received their Resource Allocation for this school year. We are fortunate enough to increase Mrs. Stark's time in the library to 20 hours per week starting next week. We also are looking at hiring a 0.5 FTE literacy teacher to help increase reading comprehension rates in our student population. The ACCESS class is looking for exercise bike donations for their classroom. Please contact Mr. Pocock if you have a bike you would like to donate. A big thank you to our School Council for decorating our staffroom today to celebrate World Teacher Day! We are thankful that parents recognize the work of our staff and all they do for the students of Mount Royal!
