Titans' Times
Week-at-a-Glance (WAAG) for Jan. 30-Feb. 3, 2023
Family Literacy Day!
Family Literacy Day takes place every January 27th to raise awareness about the importance of reading and to engage in other literacy-related activities as a family. Since 1999, thousands of schools, libraries, literacy organizations and other community groups have taken part in the initiative. ABC creates free learning and promotional resources for anyone that wants to get involved.
The theme for this year's Family Literacy Day is Celebrate your Heritage!
Canada is a great diverse country full of different cultures. Take time to explore and learn about your heritage. Celebrate what you’ve found and share your culture with others. There’s no better way to learn about your family than together.
Over the weekend, we encourage our students to ask questions and complete the bookmark sent home yesterday to learn more about their families' culture and heritage. There will be draws on Monday at assembly from all entries turned in!
There is one week left to participate in the Division Assurance Survey.

A Guide to Teaching Respect
One of the most important aspects of any connection is showing respect. In our families, we don’t often think about respect until it’s not there. When everyone in the family shows respect for each other, we sort of take it for granted, but if someone is not showing respect, we notice it quickly.
So how do we foster respect in our families without making it feel heavy and without a lot of “because I said so’s”? The best way to learn respect is not through shaming and punishment but by modelling our respectful behaviours. The key is to remain calm, which isn't always easy, especially in the heat of the moment. Children thrive with clear boundaries, and understanding that respect is a two-way street can foster more respect in the family and their connections outside the home.
Check out this week’s “Guide to Teaching Respect” from Big Life Journal for helpful tips and talking points to guide you through these challenging moments.
Gr. 3/4 Bake Sale Success!!

Division Assurance Survey - Last Week to give YOUR FEEDBACK!
Greater St. Albert Catholic Schools values your opinion. As part of our Assurance process, please share your perspective through our Division Assurance Survey at the link or QR code below. This survey will inform planning and decisions at the school and divisional levels for the 2023/2024 school year.
Surveys are completely anonymous.
Families with children at more than one GSACRD school are asked to complete a survey for each site.
The survey will remain open from Monday, January 9, 2023, to Friday, February 3, 2023.
If you have a child in grade 4, 7, or 10, you may receive a similar survey from Alberta Education later. If so, we would encourage you to complete both surveys.
We thank you for sharing your feedback; your time is appreciated.
