A.B. Daley Weekly Update- December 4/20
December 4, 2020
Dear A.B. Daley Families,
We are excited about the holiday season and have a number of exciting events planned for students in lieu of our traditional Christmas concert. Our Grade Six Student Council group has taken the lead this year with Mrs. Martin and has organized an A.B. Daley Christmas Countdown with fun activities and challenges for students to participate in each day starting on Monday, December 7th. We are saddened that we can’t host a family event this year, but are thankful for the opportunity to still spread some holiday cheer with our students and make the season special for them. We will be sharing some of the events via social media and in our weekly updates, so stay tuned! You can follow the fun on Twitter @ABDaleySchool or on our School Council Facebook page (AB Daley School Council LRSD) or on our School website.
Week of January 4-8- Online Learning
The Province of Alberta has directed Elementary Schools to transition to at-home learning for the week of January 4-8, 2021. This is not ideal as we LOVE having students at school for in-person learning! Our hope is that this is only a temporary disruption to this school year and we can carry on as usual on January 11, 2021 after the week of at-home learning. Prior to the Christmas break, your child’s teacher will be communicating more detailed information about the learning plan for the week. They may also send some supplemental materials home to help assist your child with the work for this week.
For more information on these mandatory restrictions and changes to programming, please see the November blog post- New Covid 19 Public Health Measures for Schools, from LRSD Superintendent Darryl Seguin.
Technology Loaning
Please email Mrs. Becker (beckerj@lrsd.ab.ca) if your family would benefit from having a loaned Chromebook for the week of January 4-8th to complete online school work.
Programming Changes
Next week, all parents will receive an updated Continuity of Learning Letter from Livingstone Range School Division explaining your options for the second half of this school year. This would apply to any families who are thinking of changing their child’s program to either At-Home or In-Person learning for the remainder of the school year. This change in programming would take place on February 1, 2021. The deadline for making programming changes is December 18, 2020. Please watch your email for this update, and if you wish to discuss further, please contact the school.
A few important dates to note:
- December 7- A.B. Daley Countdown to Christmas begins!
- Christmas Break: December 21, 2020-January 4, 2021
- Online Learning for the week of January 4 - 8, 2021
