Ski/Snowboard Letter of Intent Note

January 18th, 2017

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Jack Mackenzie School grades 6 – 8 classes are planning a ski trip to Mission Ridge on February 9th, 2017.  Part of our preparations for this trip is to ensure students have transportation to and from the ski hill.  We need to know how many students will be attending so that we can order the appropriate number of busses and make sure that the costs of the busses are shared equally among all the students.

We are also looking for a few volunteers to help as chaperones. 

Please fill out and return the bottom portion of this note to your child’s homeroom teacher no later than Monday, January 23^rd, 2017.  Additional information in regards to this trip will be sent home to be filled out and returned at a later date.

Thank you,

Mr. K. Yeske

Mrs. K. Reoch

Mrs. A. Scott

Mr. K DuMont

Mrs. J. Riou

Mr. H. Galenzoski

Welcome Back!!

Happy New Year!!

Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness and genorosity!  You are a wonderful group of parents and students and I am so lucky to be working with such a great group of people.  I am looking forward to working with you and your children in 2017!

Welcome Mr. Don Lee

Until the Christmas break Mr. Clarke will be taking a leave from Jack MacKenzie School.  During his absence I will be covering for him in the office.  Consequently, I would like to welcome Mr. Don Lee to our school community during this time to cover my assignment.  Don is a recent immigrant to Saskatchewan from Alberta because his wife, a banking executive, was promoted to a new role in our fine city.  Don brings a wealth of experience to our school.  In addition to teaching elementary, junior and senior high school in both regular and special needs settings with Edmonton Public Schools, he has also been a Special Needs Coordinator, Department Head, Curriculum Coordinator, Counselor, Assistant Principal and Principal with that district.  Don may seem familiar to some of you as he has been working as a substitute teacher with Regina Public Schools since last November and has even taught at our school several times over the past year.  We look forward to sharing all that Jack MacKenzie has to offer with him over the next month.

Conferences on Friday, November 18th, 2016

STUDENT/FAMILY/TEACHER CONFERENCES

Nov 14, 2016                     

Dear Families,

On November 18^th, 2016 we will be conducting our first student/parent/teacher conferences. This is an important day for staff, students and families as it offers an opportunity to review your child’s assessment results and to plan for student growth for the remainder of the school year.

Conferences are an integral part of assessment and learning. For this reason we dedicate the entire day to this process. Students will only attend school at the time of their conference on Friday, November 18^th, 2016.

New for this year, there will be no formal report card in November.  At the conference teachers will share our Value Added Assessments like the RAD and Oral Running Records (ORR).  You will also have an opportunity to examine your child’s Personal and Social Growth Rubric.   You can track your child’s other assessments on Parent Portal.

We realize employers are aware that all Regina schools conduct conferences and they have been very supportive of these important appointments.  We appreciate your attendance at the suggested times, however, if it is impossible to attend at this time please contact me by email at kelley.reoch@rbe.sk.ca or phone the school at 791-8585 and I will make every effort to adjust the schedule.

%------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are invited to meet with your child and Mrs. Reoch, on Friday, November 18^th, 2016 at 8:00-8:15 am.

Please sign and return as soon as possible.
