Hello everyone,

Thank you for your patience as we have worked through some necessary planning in preparation for resuming structured learning opportunities for your child. I understand there has been a lot of uncertainty about what learning is going to look like moving forward. I can assure you that we are going to work on key learning outcomes at-home within the parameters established by the province and CBE.

                                                                                                                                             

Starting Monday April 6, 2020, you will receive from me a weekly learning plan. Each week’s plan will highlight what we are working on, will include various resources and will explain the activities or tasks I would like your child to work on.

I will primarily be communicating with you and your child via the teacher blog at …… and if necessary, will replicate lessons into a paper format.

Students and/or parents can reach out to me for help or for clarification via e-mail every weekday from 10:00-11:00 am and again between 1:00-2:00 pm. I can be reached at damcvea@cbe.ab.ca. If the questions come in during the weekday, I expect to be able to answer most questions that same day.

I recognize this is new for most of us and we will get through this together. I am here for your child and look forward to being in regular contact with your child and yourself.

Take care everyone.

D. McVea
