Queridas familias,

November is a time to remember and honour those who have served and sacrificed for our country. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the peace and freedoms we value and to recognize those who have helped protect them.

As part of our Remembrance Day display at W.O. Mitchell School, we invite families to share a photo of a family member or someone you know who has served or is currently serving in the Canadian Armed Forces.

Families are welcome to email a photograph to their child's teacher or bring a copy to the school office before November 6.

We look forward to honouring these individuals as a school community.

Con gratitud

We look forward to coming together as a school community to remember, reflect, and honour those who have served.

Understanding Alberta Education Literacy and Numeracy Screening Results

We have received several questions from families about interpreting the recently shared Alberta Education Literacy and Numeracy Screening Results.

To support your understanding, the CBE has provided the following grade-specific parent resources.

Literacy — Parent Resources

Numeracy — Parent Resources

Screening results provide a snapshot of student learning and complement, rather than replace, ongoing classroom assessments and teacher observations.
