Principal's Message Principal's Message

Since the start of the second semester there have been a lot of short breaks or interruptions to teaching and learning. From illness to school trips and sporting events, these things take away from classes having all Students and Staff present at the same time. This means loss of instructional time, realigning outcomes and catching up. Family Day, Teacher Convention, Professional Learning Days, Family vacations, inclement weather days, etc. also make it feel as though we really haven’t seen Students much this semester. Maintaining balance despite the disruptions is essential to keeping Students in the right place and on track with their learning, especially as we get closer to Spring Break. Maximizing time, keeping accountability high and communicating proactively are ways we can all stay on top of things without becoming overwhelmed. It really does take all of us working together to benefit Students. On behalf of all Staff at CHSPS, we thank you for your ongoing support and efforts in keeping your child(ren) on top of the many things they have going on that are school related and outside of school. We cannot do what we do without your support!


Feel free to contact me and/or Mr. Madison Nickel if you ever have any questions (email: rcowan@brsd.ab.ca/mnickel@brsd.ab.ca or phone: 780-384-3817).


Be well always,

Richard Cowan

Principal
