Posted on 2023-09-10 00:00:00 +0000 UTC

Dear Andrew Sibbald Families,

We hope the school startup has gone well for you and your families! The classroom communities are learning new routines and expectations, and we are grateful to welcome many new families to Andrew Sibbald this year.

Meet the Teacher Conference Booking

Parents, the CBE has required the use of a new Conference booking system through your MyCBE PowerSchool account. Conference booking will open after 9:00 a.m. on Monday, September 11th. Please contact the office with any questions or concerns.

Teachers look forward to connecting with you in person on Thursday, September 21st and Friday, September 22nd. Reminder – there is no school for Kindergarten on Thursday, September 21st due to the time required for Ms. Hatchette to meet with all families. There is no school for all K-6 students on Friday, September 22nd.

Classroom Blogs

Parents, each week your child’s teacher will post a ‘Snapshot of Learning’ on the classroom blog. These learning snapshots allow for parents and guardians to get a glimpse into the classroom and see learning related to the intended learning outcomes for your child’s grade. Photos of students are only posted after parents have consented by digitally signing the “CBE Consent to Publish” form in your MyCBE PowerSchool account. Updated blog links are at the bottom of the Monday Message.

AMA School Patrols Update

Thank you to Mrs. Drever who will lead school patrols this year for our Grade 6 students. This is an important leadership role for our students, and we are proud of all Grade 6 students who have expressed interest in helping our students cross safely before and after school. Patrol training begins this week led by AMA staff. We encourage the use of our crosswalk by all parents and students. Thank you for your extra patience as our newly trained patrols learn their duties over the coming weeks.

School Council AGM – This Wednesday at 7:00 p.m.

All parents and guardians are invited to our school’s School Council meeting this Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. in the Learning Commons. Volunteering for a role on the School Council Executive is a great way to contribute to our school community. We look forward to seeing you there. Andrew Sibbald’s Parent Association will meet directly after the School Council meeting.
