Learning from home

Hi families;

We hope this message reaches you safe and healthy. It is so hard for us to be away from our students, we miss you already!  After spring break we will be posting more information about our next steps in learning, please check back regularly for updates! 

In order to provide continuity of delivery of educational programming across Alberta, we (CBE) as a system is working on long term delivery of programming. We will be providing system wide messaging for families prior to the break.  In the meantime, here is a list of sites that can help your student continue practicing what we have been learning in class. Please note that you may need to sign up for free accounts through some websites.

 We also encourage you to take the time to play outside (nature walks, playing outside, going to the park, exploring).  Indulge in being inside with the ones you love, taking the time to be outside, and knowing that we are in this together.
