Wishing everyone a warm welcome back for the 2019/2020 school year!We have had a very busy and exciting first two weeks of school with students and staff settling in and beginning new teaching and learning. We have approximately 130 English Language Learners that will be supported both in the classroom and in small group settings. If your child is an ELL student, feel free to connect with me during Parent-Teacher Conferences next week on Thursday, September 19 and Friday, September 20. Interviews can be booked online.
We are excited to welcome the The Calgary Bridge Foundation for Youth Afterschool Program to Ranchlands School. CBFY is a not for profit organization that offers a variety of services to meet the social, emotional, and academic needs of immigrant and refugee youth. Permission forms to participate in this program are available in the office and are due Wednesday, September 18. The program will be starting in October.
Patrol News:
Our grade 6 safety patrollers are out on duty! They did a presentation at our Welcome assembly modeling safe school zone behaviours to the younger students in our school. Constable Rich will be at our school next Wednesday and Thursday morning to train new patrollers for the upcoming school year.
The patrol schedule for September is posted at the patrol station and in classrooms.
