Connecting with families via phone or email

Hi everyone,

It's been great connecting with families either over the phone or through email. At this stage Ms. Stride and I have contacted all families. There are still a handful of families who we have not been able to make contact with. If you are one of those families, please check your email (parent email). Every family was emailed on Sunday April 5, by me. If you haven't been in contact with either myself or Ms. Stride, please respond to that email as soon as possible.

I want to thank everyone for their patience during this time. Taradale School teachers and staff are working to connect with families, while also planning for ongoing learning. As mentioned in emails and phone calls, our hope is to have ongoing learning ready to send home for Monday April 13. We will be in touch with families as soon as we have more information.

Again, if you have not been in contact with either myself, or Ms. Stride by phone or email, please let me know. I can be reached at: klduncan@cbe.ab.ca

Thanks again everyone.

Links to online learning websites

Hi everyone, Below is a list of websites families can use at home for extra practice on core subject areas. Please have a look and see which websites work best for you. Until the CBE determines how we will proceed, it is important for students to be reading, writing, and practicing basic math skills. Try to spend some time each day working on each three. Please keep checking the blog and email. As soon as there is more information for families, the CBE and/or Taradale School will let families know. I will follow up with blog posts passing along any pertinent information. Please stay safe, everyone.

NEW Field Trip Forms - oops!

We discovered a printing error on the field trip forms that were sent home on Thursday, so we re-printed and sent new forms home today. Please make sure you are signing the forms that are 5 sides long. Also, please bring $7 for our field trip. Monday is Orange Shirt Day - please wear orange or your favourite shirt. We mark this day each year in order to remember the survivors of residential schools. Our assembly is on Tuesday October 1 at 1:30 pm. Your writing prompt for this weekend is: Why do we have Orange Shirt Day? Do you think it's important? How does it make you feel?

At Home Learning for April 20-24

Good morning everyone, I hope you've all had a safe and happy weekend! The warmer weather has definitely got me feeling better. At home learning for April 20-24 is now life on the Taradale School website. It can be accessed here: http://school.cbe.ab.ca/school/taradale/about-us/news-centre/_layouts/ci/post.aspx?oaid=f345b278-4e11-41b2-a882-a93164f86f06&oact=20001 Thank you to everyone who made contact last week and to students who forwarded me their work. Just a reminder that students should try to engage in this work for approximately an hour each day. How you schedule that hour is up to your family. Please do what works best for you. Again, if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know and I'll do my best to get back to you quickly. Have a great week, everyone!
