Dear Andrew Sibbald School families,  

I am thrilled to be sending my first Monday Morning Message as Principal of Andrew Sibbald School!  I am looking forward to meeting students and families this week. Please be sure to stop by to introduce yourself and say hello.  

I have been lucky to connect with staff and build some connections with our community at last week’s School Council meeting. I am impressed by the work of that dedicated group.  

 As we roll into the week, here are some reminders and updates:   

Book Fair Volunteers 

We are hosting a book fair in the Learning Commons February 26 & 27, during Parent Teacher Conferences. To support this, Mrs. Norman is looking for volunteers that would work a shift or two. If you’re interested, please contact Mrs. Norman at janorman@cbe.ab.ca  

   

Supplies Needed for Trickster Theatre Residency 

We are in need of 6-8 large appliance cardboard boxes for our upcoming Trickster residency. If you have a large cardboard box available to donate, please contact Mrs. Odegard at ijodegard@cbe.ab.ca  

 

Alberta Assurance Survey for Grade 4 & 5 Parents 

The annual Alberta Education and Childcare Assurance Survey (AECAS) is currently underway. Parents of grade 4 and 5 students in our school should have recently received an email to invite their participation and provide their feedback on a variety of measures. Grade 4 and 5 parents, please share your thoughts and perspectives! The survey will be open until early March. More information is provided in a link on our school website.
