School Plan Update
Moving ahead to next year, there was consensus among the group to have a school focus on the Core Competencies around the question that "may" look something like....."How can the core competencies be used to improve student learning?"
We'll discuss this and any other ideas people may have at our lunch Staff Meeting on Monday March 11th.
Student Health Information and Update
These are the only updates we have to share and will of course inform staff when we get any new and relevant information. We'll leave it up to individual teachers to answer any questions and share appropriate information if Luke's appearance does have students asking about it.
Sadly, some other information, we also have to share..................
Dear Staff,
Unfortunately, we have some sad news to share about one of our students. Stephanie Lim-Voon, in Grade 4 in Mrs. Samson & Ms. Haugen's class, has been battling a serious infection in Children's Hospital since early January of this year. She is working hard in her recovery, but she will not be returning to Chantrell Creek to finish out her Grade 4 year. At this time, we don't have a definite date of when she will be returning. The family values their privacy, and has requested that the details and circumstances surrounding Stephanie's illness be kept confidential as they navigate through all of this.
Stephanie has an older sister in Kristy Inouye's class (Selena) and we would ask that you be mindful of Selena’s feelings and the family’s request for privacy by not speaking with Selena about this. We’re not sure what details she knows about Stephanie and would like to keep school a positive environment as much as possible for her.
The parents are supportive of us letting students know that "Stephanie has been in the hospital and will not be returning to school this year as she focuses on getting better."
Knowing that we are informing students in the class on Monday and after discussing this with Phil, it would be reasonable at this time to let staff know the same information that is being communicated to students in the class.
Thanks,
Jamie and Ashley
