    Algonquin Ridge Elementary School 191 Golden Meadow Road Barrie, Ontario, L4N 9R6 Phone (705) 737-4080 Cory McKeown Fax (705)730-5820 F. Van Arragon Principal http://alr.scdsb.on.ca Vice-Principal ALGONQUIN RIDGE JANUARY NEWS MESSAGE FROM MR. MCKEOWN AND MR. VAN ARRAGON Happy New Year and welcome back! We hope you all had a safe, merry, enjoyable Winter/Christmas Break with your family and friends and that you are managing to get back to your more ‘normal’ routines with back to school this week. The focus of this message will be a few suggestions to get the year started on a positive note. The New Year is traditionally a great time for families to take a moment to discuss any changes they might like to make and to do some goal setting. Goals can be either short or long term, connect to academics, behaviour, attendance, athletic or social etc. When deciding on a few goals remember to be realistic so that they are achievable and decide what strategies or specific actions need to happen to ensure success. As a school that recognizes the strong connection between attendance, strong Learning Skills and overall academic and life success, we stress the importance of developing the positive habits that are necessary in Secondary School and in the years that follow. Our data tells us that the impact of missed school is particularly intense in Math (students in high school have reported grades approximately half a percent lower for each missed class). Please consider these categories when thinking about goal setting.
