The Committee was informed that the video and infographic will also will be available on the WSD website.

2 . Sound Field Systems

The Committee was informed that at a meeting held January 14, 2019, the Board of Trustees approved a motion that the administration provide an overview on the number of sound field systems in schools which included the administration to provide three options for consideration by the Board of Trustees for the 2019/2020 budget deliberations for introducing sound field systems in each Nursery to Grade 6 classroom over a 3-year period.

The Committee was provided with background information on the Sound Field System Project which began in Winnipeg School Division in 2013/14 with the installation of Redcat Sound Field Systems in 20 Grade 1 classrooms. The systems were set up by the Clinical Support Services (CSS) Audiometric Technician, who also provided technical support during the project.

The Committee was informed that a Sound Field System amplifies a teacher’s voice and distributes it evenly throughout the classroom. The teacher wears a microphone around their neck and their voice is transmitted to a stand-alone loud speaker positioned close to the students in the classroom. This makes the teacher’s voice louder and easier for students to understand.

The Committee was advised that teacher feedback strongly supported the use of amplification in WSD classrooms and teachers reported positive benefits for students in the areas of improved ability to follow instruction and directions, decreased settling time, overall improvement in student achievement, enhanced language acquisition for EAL learners, and a positive psychological effect on students as a result of the teacher having a clearer and quieter voice.

The Committee was also advised that teachers reported benefits for themselves included reduced vocal strain, enhanced classroom management and increased student engagement and participation.

The Committee was provided with two options and recommended that option 1 be selected which details that Sound Field Systems to be installed in all 800 Nursery to Grade 6 classrooms. The existing inventory of 295 Sound Field Systems will be repurposed into Grade 7 to 12 classrooms based on student need and recommendation of the Audiology Department. Page 22 of 124

2 March 4, 2019 Finance/Personnel Committee Report No. 3-2019

The Committee was informed that the next steps would be that the CSS Audiology Department develop a plan into conducting a needs assessment for junior and senior high classrooms, based on research of the benefit of Sound Field Systems for junior and senior high students, not later than January 31, 2020. The Committee was also informed that the Building Department will review the feasibility of implementing Sound Field Systems in the design phase for the construction of new schools and/or the renovation of schools.

The Committee agreed to include in the Budget Consultation the installation of sound field systems in 800 nursery to grade 6 classrooms.

3. 2019/2020 Budget – Summary of Additions/Savings

The Committee was informed that Provincial funding covers less than 60% of the total WSD budget and for 2019/2020 it decreased over last year by .1% or $202,963. The Committee was also informed that the Province has continued to direct school divisions to cap the special requirement increase at 2%. The Committee was reminded that there is a risk of government sanctions should the Board decide to pass a budget beyond the 2% special requirement cap.

The Committee is considering a draft budget with a 2.9% increase which results in a $41 per year property tax increase on the average assessed home value of $214,200.

The Committee was provided with a list of additions and savings for consideration and for consultation at the upcoming Draft Budget District Advisory Committee meeting.

The Committee received an overview on proposed items to be considered. The Committee was informed that the Board has pre-approved two staff to assist with the hiring of staff and other duties for the new school in the northwest corner of WSD. The Committee also agreed to consult with the community on additions which include an Autism clinical psychologist, costs related to day program charges for students with exceptional needs, additional early childhood inclusive needs support, sound field systems, enhanced access to wifi through upgraded wireless controllers, a pilot video conferencing course and expanding the current 11 full-day kindergarten. The Committee also identified accountability needs to be addressed which include; data analytics software and technology infrastructure.

The Committee was provided with background information regarding transportation, business development officer, courses through video conferencing, outdoor maintenance and a coordinator for lunch programs. The Committee agreed to add these programs to the 2019/2010 Budget discussions for consultation with parents and members of the community.

The Committee also discussed possible savings of programs that are fully funded by WSD tax payers which have been implemented to address specific needs of students in the Division. The Committee agreed that the Board of Trustees may find cost savings in services such as intercultural support workers, library technical assistant, adult crossing guards, school resource officers, off campus programs, home learning assistants for early school years, library and support services, therapy services, summer school, nutrition programs, nursery, arts performances, special events and programs, milk subsidy and attendance officers, if required.

The Committee was informed that residents, parents and employees of the Division can access budget information on our website at www.winnipegsd.ca/budget and feedback is welcome. Page 23 of 124

SOUTH DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT NO. 1-2019

To the Chair and Members Winnipeg Public School Board: February 12, 2019 The South District Advisory Committee reports as follows:

1. 2019/2020 Draft Budget Discussion

The Secretary-Treasurer was in attendance to provide an overview of the 2019/2020 Draft Budget. The Committee was informed that on January 9, 2019, the Province of Manitoba announced funding for public education. The increase for all of Manitoba for 2019/2020 is 0.5% or $6.6 million dollars. The Committee was informed that the portion of the funding allocated to the Division which is based on enrollment, equals a decrease of 0.1% or $202,963 over last year’s funding.

The Committee was informed that the Minister of Education encouraged school boards to limit the special requirement increase to 2.0%. The Committee was informed that special requirement is based on the school year and property taxes are based on a calendar year. The Committee was informed that a 3.0% special requirement equals a 2.9% property tax increase or $41 on average assessed home at $214,200. The Committee was informed that the provincial funding for education is based on several factors including student enrolment, capital costs, equalization payments and the phase out of the Tax Incentive Grant.

The Committee was informed that the Board of Trustees is requesting feedback on the following budget additions: autism clinical psychologist, day program supports for students with exceptional needs, additional Early Childhood Inclusive Needs Support, Sound Field Systems, enhanced Wi-Fi, pilot video conference course, expanding Full Day Kindergarten programs, data analytics software, technology, school grounds maintenance and Lunch Program Coordinator.

The Committee was also informed that the Division provides many programs/services for students that are not provincially funded as follows: Intercultural Support Workers, Library Technical Assistants, Computer Technicians, Adult Crossing Guards, School Resource Officers, off campus programs, Home Learning Assistants for Early School Years, Library and Support Services, therapy services, summer school, nutrition programs, nursery, arts performances, special events and programs, milk subsidy, and Attendance Officers. These programs/services cost $11,415,173 and are areas the Board of Trustees may have to find cost savings if required.

The Committee expressed concern that the wage freeze imposed on the Province of Manitoba may result in a decline of quality staff and classroom teachers within the Division.

The Committee agreed that should reductions be required to balance the budget, the expansion of Full Day Kindergarten sites, the sound field system, summer school, nursery, milk subsidies and attendance officers should be areas the Board may want to reconsider.

Overall, the Committee supported a 2.9% property tax increase in order to maintain programs and services. There was an overall agreement that more information is needed on programs/services not funded by the Province before prioritizing reductions or additions.

March 4, 2019 2 South District Advisory Committee Report No. 1-2019

The Committee was informed that the Board continues to advocate on behalf of the Division to continue discussions with the Province and seek alternatives to education funding.

The Committee discussed the role of the Lunch Program Coordinator. The Committee was also informed that WSD has a Food Issues Committee that explores concerns regarding the lunch programs.

The Committee expressed support for School Resource Officers (SRO) in schools as they provide safety for students and staff.

The Committee agreed that the SRO Program should continue in WSD even though the Province may not commit additional funds for the program.

The Committee agreed that should reductions be required to balance the budget, the expansion of Full Day Kindergarten sites, summer school and the nursery program should be areas the Board may want to reconsider.

Overall, the Committee supported a 2.9% property tax increase in order to maintain programs and services. There was an overall agreement that more information is needed on programs/ services not funded by the Province before prioritizing cuts or additions. Page 28 of 124

March 4, 2019 1 Building/Transportation Committee Report No. 1-2019

BUILDING/TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE REPORT NO. 1-2019

To the Chair and Members Winnipeg Public School Board: February 14, 2019

The Building/Transportation Committee reports and recommends as follows:

1. Five-Year Capital Plan

The Committee was informed that the Provincial Capital Support Program provides funding to School Divisions for major capital projects (new construction and renovations) and on-going capital support programs such as roofing replacements, structural upgrading, access renovations, portable classrooms and system replacements. (attached)

The Committee was informed that each year, the Division must submit a Five-Year Capital Plan to the Public Schools Finance Board outlining priorities for new construction, additions, major renovations, access renovations, structural upgrading and systems replacements.

The Winnipeg School Division’s Five-Year Capital Plan is developed by the administration’s Long Range Facility Planning Committee and submitted annually to the Building /Transportation Committee for review.

The Committee reviewed the Division’s 2020/21 - 2024/25 Draft Five-Year Capital Plan and was also informed of completed projects and the status of others.

Recommendation:

That the Five-Year Capital Building Plan – 2020/21 – 2024/25 be approved for submission to the Public Schools Finance Board.

2. Policy EDC – Authorized Use of Division-Owned Equipment, Supplies, Tools & Technology

The Committee was informed that at a meeting held June 4, 2018, the Board of Trustees approved Policy EDC-Authorized Use of Division-Owned Equipment, Supplies, Tools & Technology. The Board also approved a motion to distribute the policy to all Employee Groups for information.

The policy has been revised to include feedback, which includes clarification on the wording “the personal use of equipment”.

Recommendation:

That Policy EDC-Authorized Use of Division-Owned Equipment, Supplies, Tools & Technology be approved.

2 March 4, 2019 Building/Transportation Committee Report No. 1-2019

3. School Bus Violations

At a meeting held January 14, 2019, the Board of Trustees approved a motion to refer school bus violations to the Building/Transportation Committee for discussion.

The Committee was informed that although school buses are equipped with cameras, the recordings do not always capture the license plate and are not admissible in court resulting in the Police being unable to prosecute drivers. In order for violations to be reported, the bus driver must witness and manually write down the license plate and report these to Police. The bus driver is then required, if subpoenaed, to attend court as a witness. The results of charges, if any, are not known to WSD.

The Committee was also informed that should the Division install exterior cameras on all school buses, without an amendment to the Highway Traffic Act, school divisions do not have the authority to use image capturing enforcement systems.

The Committee agreed to refer the matter to the Finance/Personnel Committee to discuss a pilot project to install cameras on the side of a school bus to capture violations. The statistics received from the camera would be helpful in discussions with the Province in amending legislation.

4. Clifton School – New Play Structure

The Committee gave consideration to an application from Clifton School to build a new play structure. Clifton School has applied for additional grants and will begin fundraising for the new play structure.

The Committee was informed that the administration has reviewed the request and recommends that funding up to $20,000 be approved for the replacement of the play structure.

Recommendation:

That Clifton School receive funding in the amount of $20,000 from the Universal Building Fund for the new play structure.

5. Waterford Green School

The Committee was provided with an update on the construction of the new school in Waterford Green.

The Committee was informed that the expected completion date for the construction of the new school is July 31, 2020.

The Committee was informed that the additions to increase the energy and environmental design of the building would not be approved by the province. It was recommended that the Division write a letter to the province requesting clarification on funding requirements in support of green initiatives in new school buildings.

The Committee was informed that the Secretary-Treasurer will also be writing a letter to the Public Schools Finance Board requesting approval to use the capital reserve to support the Division’s costs for the new school for items that are not funded by the Public Schools Finance Board.

Green Action Centre also attended District Advisory Committees to discuss their services to encourage safe and active travel.

The Committee was informed that due to a change in the incumbent, discussions with the Director of Green Action Centre have recently resumed. It is anticipated that the administration and Green Action Centre will meet in the near future to continue discussions on safe and active travel.

7. Naming/Renaming of Schools and Special Purpose Areas

In preparation of the opening of the new school in Waterford Green, the Committee was provided with a copy of the Administrative Guideline – Naming/Renaming of Schools and Special Purpose Areas which outlines the process for the naming of schools.

NORTH DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT NO. 1-2019

To the Chair and Members Winnipeg Public School Board: February 19, 2019

The North District Advisory Committee reports as follows:

1. 2019/2020 Draft Budget Discussion

The Secretary-Treasurer was in attendance to provide an overview of the 2019/2020 Draft Budget. The Committee was informed that on January 9, 2019, the Province of Manitoba announced funding for public education. The increase for all of Manitoba for 2019/2020 is 0.5% or $6.6 million dollars. The Committee was informed that the portion of the funding allocated to the Division which is based on enrollment equals a decrease of 0.1% or $202,963 over last year’s funding.

The Committee discussed the role of the Lunch Program Coordinator. The Committee suggested it be a pilot project with a smaller salary level and continue the position should it prove to be beneficial.

The parent from Shaughnessy Park School expressed concern in regards to the discontinuation of the walking school bus program and requested that funding be provided by the WSD for the continuation of the program. Overall, the Committee supported a 2.9% property tax increase in order to maintain programs and services. There was an overall agreement that more information is needed on programs/services not funded by the Province before prioritizing cuts or additions.

The Committee agreed that should reductions be required to balance the budget, the expansion of Full Day Kindergarten sites, pilot video conferencing course, sound field system, addressing asphalt deterioration but not trees and foliage replacement, Library Technical Assistant, milk subsidies and modern day technology should be areas the Board may want to reconsider.

CENTRAL DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT NO. 1-2019

To the Chair and Members Winnipeg Public School Board: February 20, 2019

The Central District Advisory Committee reports as follows:

1. 2019/2020 Draft Budget Discussion

The Committee supported the Non-Mandatory Programs provided by WSD as these programs have been successful to increase and support learning abilities for students. The Committee agreed that should reductions be required to balance the budget, the expansion of Full Day Kindergarten sites, the sound field system and schools ground maintenance should be areas the Board may want to reconsider.

The Committee discussed the role of the Lunch Program Coordinator and suggested that the position may not provide significant assistance to the Parent Run Lunch Program.

The Committee was in support of continuing the Arts and extra curriculum activities, SRO and Adult Crossing Guards. The Committee supports the SRO Program continuing in the WSD although suggested the City should cover the expense.

The Committee discussed the importance of allocating funding to support mental health programs including Educational Assistants to assist students when required.

SOUTH DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Tuesday, February 12, 2019

1. APPROVAL OF AGENDA

The Committee members approved the Agenda of February 12, 2019, as distributed.

2. 2019/2020 DRAFT BUDGET DISCUSSION

The Secretary-Treasurer was in attendance to provide an overview of the 2019/2020 Draft Budget. Committee members were informed that on January 9, 2019, the Province of Manitoba announced funding for public education. The increase for all of Manitoba for 2019/2020 is 0.5% or $6.6 million dollars. Committee members were informed that the portion of the funding allocated to the Division which is based on enrollment, equals a decrease of 0.1% or $202,963 over last year’s funding.

Committee members were informed that the Division’s costs increase every year due to inflation on required expenses such as Canada Pension Plan, Employment Insurance Premiums and Payroll Taxes. Committee members were informed that even with the Province’s introduction of wage freezes for public sector employees, including teachers, salary increments earned by Division staff must be included in the 2019/2020 budget.

Committee members were informed that the Minister of Education encouraged school boards to limit the special requirement increase to 2.0%. Committee members were informed that special requirement is based on the school year and property taxes are based on a calendar year. The Committee was informed that a 3.0% special requirement equals a 2.9% property tax increase or $41 on average assessed home at $214,200. Committee members were informed that the provincial funding for education is based on several factors including student enrolment, capital costs, equalization payments and the phase out of the Tax Incentive Grant.

Committee members were informed that the Board of Trustees is requesting feedback on the following budget additions: autism clinical psychologist, day program supports for students with exceptional needs, additional Early Childhood Inclusive Needs Support, Sound Field Systems, enhanced Wi-Fi, pilot video conference course, expanding Full Day Kindergarten programs, data analytics software, technology, school grounds maintenance and Lunch Program Coordinator.

Committee members were also informed that the Division provides many programs/services for students that are not provincially funded as follows: Intercultural Support Workers, Library Technical Assistants, Computer Technicians, Adult Crossing Guards, School Resource Officers, off campus programs, Home Learning Assistants for Early School Years, Library and Support Services, therapy services, summer school, nutrition programs, nursery, arts performances, special events and programs, milk subsidy, and Attendance Officers. These programs/services cost $11,415,173 and are areas the Board of Trustees may have to find cost savings if required.

Committee member expressed concern that the wage freeze imposed on the Province of Manitoba may result in a decline of quality staff and classroom teachers within the Division. In response to an enquiry regarding the public sector wage freeze and its affects on Board members, Committee members were informed that Board members are not salaried employees and their honorarium was adjusted due to the revisions to the Income Tax Act. Page 61 of 124

SOUTH DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Tuesday, February 12, 2019 - 2 -

Committee members agreed that should reductions be required to balance the budget, the expansion of Full Day Kindergarten sites, the soundfield system, summer school, nursery, milk subsidies and attendance officers should be areas the Board may want to reconsider.

In terms of ground maintenance, Committee members also discussed the possibility of having a student arborist from the University to help with the loss of trees on school grounds. Committee members were informed that in the future, WSD is looking to have a working relationship with universities to assist with long-term plans of urban management.

In response to an enquiry regarding participation of students in the journeyman trade to assist the building department with building/grounds maintenance, Committee members were informed that due to issues related to union groups and Workplace, Safety & Health, WSD was not able to pursue this any further.

Overall, Committee members supported a 2.9% property tax increase in order to maintain programs and services. There was an overall agreement that more information is needed on programs/services not funded by the Province before prioritizing reductions or additions.

Committee members were informed that the Board is also reviewing the possibility of hiring a development officer to raise funds and establish an endowment fund to support WSD programs and services.

Committee members were informed that the Board continues to advocate on behalf of the Division to continue discussions with the Province and seek alternatives to education funding. Committee members were encouraged to contact their MLA, Premier or Minister of Education to share their opinions of education funding.

Committee members were informed that the Budget presentation is available on the Winnipeg School Division’s website along with a property tax calculator and survey.

Committee members were informed that in addition to budget presentations at District Advisory Committee meetings, information is available on the Division’s website. A Public meeting will also be held on February 25, 2019 at Administration Building No. 1, 1577 Wall Street East at 7:00 p.m. to provide budget information to the general public and receive feedback from individuals or groups that may wish to attend as well there is a survey posted on the Division’s website www.winnipegsd.org. The deadline to receive feedback regarding the budget will be received by the Board until March 4, 2019. All feedback will be considered by the Finance/Personnel Committee.

In response to an enquiry regarding the role of the Lunch Program Coordinator, Committee members were informed that the Lunch Program Coordinator would help Parent Councils with the business matters such as payroll and audit. Committee members were also informed that WSD has a Food Issues Committee that explores concerns regarding the lunch programs. Page 66 of 124

INNER CITY DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Wednesday, February 13, 2019 - 2 -

Committee members requested additional information regarding the additional funds for the clinical psychologist. Committee members were informed that there is presently a three to four year waitlist outside of school to have a diagnosis for autism. Committee members expressed concern that it should not be up to the school to diagnose a child with autism, as many of these services should be provided by health care and should not be part of the education system. Committee members were informed that WSD does have an autism support team that supports schools, although another clinical psychologist on staff, would help improve the diagnosis wait time.

Committee members expressed support for School Resource Officers (SRO) in schools as they provide safety for students and staff. In addition, the SROs continue to work towards building and supporting the Indigenous Community. Committee members agreed that the SRO Program should continue in WSD even though the Province may not commit additional funds for the program.

Committee members agreed that should reductions be required to balance the budget, the expansion of Full Day Kindergarten sites, summer school and the nursery program should be areas the Board may want to reconsider.

Committee members were informed that the Board advocates on behalf of the Division to continue discussions with the Province and seek alternatives to education funding.

Dinner is prepared by staff and students with a focus on preparing healthy meals from "scratch". Child care is provided. November 21. 2018- Students and parents will create quilts to take home.

Grandparents Lunch; We invite our student's grandmothers and grandfathers (once a month) to a lunch prepared and served by students and staff. As students demonstrate pride and ownership in our school community, we believe we will affect the longstanding perceptions and fears associated with schools.

Career Cafe; Career Cafe is an opportunity for students to meet individuals from the community and learn about their careers. Every 2nd Wednesday, students are introduced to a new speaker who talks about their personal career journey. Discussions focus on questions such as: How they became interested in their current field? What education or training was required? What does a typical day in that role looks like?

NORTH DISTRICT ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Tuesday, February 19, 2019 - 2 -

In response to an enquiry regarding the role of the Lunch Program Coordinator, Committee members were informed that the Lunch Program Coordinator would help Parent Councils with the business matters such as payroll and audit. Committee members suggested it be a pilot project with a smaller salary level and continue the position should it prove to be beneficial.

Committee members from Shaughnessy Park School expressed concern in regards to the discontinuation of the walking school bus program. Committee members would like to see this program added to the budget. Committee members shared data supporting student safety of the walking school bus program. The data showed an 87% increase in attendance with the help of this program. Committee members were informed that the Board of Trustees will take all feedback into consideration.

Committee members agreed that should reductions be required to balance the budget, the expansion of Full Day Kindergarten sites, pilot video conferencing course, sound field system, addressing asphalt deterioration but not trees and foliage replacement, Library Technical Assistant, milk subsidies and modern day technology should be areas the Board may want to reconsider.

Central District Advisory Council February 20 . 2019

Principal Spariing is a wonderful school with fantastic students, parents and staff with a lot of spirit (Go Roadrunners!). OurParent Council meets thefirst Mondayof the month from 6:30pm- 7:30pm to discuss ongoing learning activities in the school, our Lunch Program, fundraising initiatives and community activities. Two significant community building activities we put on this a month are Family Movie Night and Dance Night. We're able to connect with families and have a fun time doing it. Prizes, popcorn and othertreats are a must at these events. It also provides an opportunity for the kids on the Student Council to work on social skills when running the canteen.

Overthe past years, we've raised a fairamount of money and are using these fundsto support the kids. An example of the fundraising initiatives is our hot dog lunches which run monthly prior to Movie Night. These funds have helped teachers purchase home reading books as well as help subsidize fieldtrip for our kids Another significant role of Parent Council is the Grade six Farewell Ceremony. We celebrate the students who are moving on by providing a memorable event in the gym for their families to attend. It is a true community event which recognizes [earning and celebrates student accomplishments.

Central DistrictAdvisory Committee Report February 20, 2019

School Culture

The Be The Change Group" is made up of grade 6 students who are wishing to make - positive change in their school, community, city or world. Projects are student initiated, planned and implemented. Some members decided to develop and submit a kindness proposal to The Cool 2Be Kind campaign, which is an initiative of the Winnipeg Police Association. This campaign's focus is on the benefits of being kind to others and making good choices in school and in life. Our students proposed a 'kindness pay it forward week"where kindness activities would take placewithin the school, and then the school body would be challenged to pay the kindness forward by conthbuting items to make personal care bags for Siloam Mission. Their proposal was successful, and they were awardedfunding in the amount of $500 to see their program come to life. ?IeJ° F?eEld Month theme this year was "Take a Journey with a Good Book! Where will a story take you! The focus was on the theme ofjourney and exploring genres. The school celebrated with guest readers, mystery readers, school-wide hallway reading and other fantastic events. The activities were aimed at instilling a love of reading in our learners as well as continuing to build our Sargent Park sense of community.

To that end, this year we have planned a culminating activity we have called "Cozy up with a Good BooV. In keeping with theme day traditions, students will be encouraged to wear their comfy pajamas or sleepwear andjoin each other in the gym for a reading assembly. Imagine, 700 students curled up in the gym, reading with a buddy, while wrapped in blankets, cuddling their stuffed animals while basking in the light of a fireplace display.

What could go better with reading, a fire and good company? Well, all older students will be paired with a younger buddy enjoying milk and cookies while sharing a good book together.

WINNIPEG SCHOOL DIVISION Page 114 of 124

Academics

We continue to excel in academics and staff and students work hard each and every day.

We have a team of teachers attending Transformative Teaching and Wnting Workshops with Reggie Routman and incorporating these strategies into their teaching with their students.

The students in grade 5 have been learning about basichuman rights, the importance orgiving back to their community and what home means to them Through the partnership of Habitat for Humanity and Genworth Canada, students were able to create an essay or poem of their choice that helped convey their thoughts and feelings in regards to a topic that directly impacts their lives. Genworth donated $10 for every student entry. Students were challenged to think creatively while also improving their writing skills.

The grade nine students wrote letters to Canadian politicians with the goal of persuading them to pressure our government to do more to support refugees coming into Canada. Students read samples of letters written by other young people, to those in positions of influence. They then developed a list of common characteristics of the letters. Teachers modelled wnting from planning frames to a final letter. Students also researched information to find facts and data to support the main points in their letters. Afterward, students wrote together in groups, to practice, and eventually wrote individual pieces of their own. Conferencing with teachers and peers was utilized in the process to assist with revision and editing. Ultimately, letters were mailed, and we hope to get a few responses!

This year, the grade 4, some grade 5 / 6 and grade 9 students are participating in our school and Regional Heritage Fair. The classes will be hosting an Open Housefor the parents and community on the evening of April 3, 2019 to share their learning and then on the morning of April 4th they will present their projects to invited judges. All the students have been learning about Canadian/Manitoban history or social justice and government. Their involvement in this event allows the students to transfer what they have learned in class, gain more information on topics of interest and gives them an authentic audience and purpose. Through this assignment, the students use a variety of skills such as the research process, collaboration, inquiry and oral presentation to enhance their learning and to boost self-confidence, self-esteem and leadership skills. Projects are curriculum based and a good assessment of student understanding and processing of information and skills covered. Some students will further their learning by entering the Red River Heritage Fair which will take place on May 2 at the Duckworth Centre, U of W. This experience has always had a positive impact on all students. In the past, many Sargent Park students have won awards or even participated in Canada wide Fairs. Some of these winners were struggling learners and the positive impact played a major role in their ability to see themselves as successful learners. '^Sl

ProfessorJudith Koellerfrom the University ofWaterloo visited our Or. 9 Math classes. She shared what they do at the university as well as all the different jobs you can get that require math. Students had the opportunity to play math games and solve some tricky problems. Sarah commented, "I really like what we did with her because it made me remember all the love I have for math and how much fun it can be. It was evident that she loved herjob and educating others about math."

Athletics

Arts Art Smarts Project - We all live in a community, not alone. We hold, in our hands, our destiny and can change the destiny of others. We can do this by working together and extending our journey into the global community. We will strive to be global citizens where we are always walking each other home. This project was developed as a collaboration between Sargent Park School, Jamie Oliviero, Shawn Kettner and Mirae Young, as a way to creatively investigate and celebrate citizenship through the entry points of our relationship to the Earth, Living Creatures and People. This investigation encompasses the creative development of student understanding of citizenshipand empathy through different sessions with two different artists (Jamie Oliviero and Mirae Young).

Essentially, there are a total of 4 major components to this project. Each component is handled in a similar way with Jamie coming into each classroom to develop and share ideas around each theme; earth, living creatures and people. After each of these sessions with Jamie, Mirae follows up on the varied activities/stories shared with each classroom and supports students in developing a painted stone that shows their love/respect/responsibility for each individual theme. This is accomplished in a variety of different ways according to the needs of each classroom.

At the end of the artist visits, each student will have created 3 personal art pieces whichwill be turned into a "Path of Peace" and they will have taken part in creating a school wide story illustrated in a large scale 'crankie'.

In the area of Music, the Djembe drums visited Sargent Park in January Students had the opportunity to explore a variety ofAfrican themed music, focusing mainly on Ghana and Kenyan songs. Kindergarten students were able to play simple rhythm patterns using two different sounds on the drums. Students in Grade 1-3 were able to create their own rhythmic patterns using both words and stick notation. Students in Grades 4-6 were able to compose their own patterns and use different tempos (speeds) and songs to play their pattern. Even students in Junior High Guitar classes were able to experiment with rhythms on the drum and howthey could compliment a guitar piece or rock song. Overall, it was a very interactive and fun January'

Our Gr. 9 band students will be competing in the Optimist International Band Festival on February 22nd.

In the area of dance, Sargent Park was fortunate to host Tec Voc's DTC 14, who performed at a recent basketball pep rally. Their piece 'Break the Silence' was a hit. Sargent Park's dance teams, Heat and Ember, performed prior to DTC. It was a positive experience for Sargent Park students and a great learning ODDortunitv for our dance teams.

sntal Health Literacy

Sargent h'arx held its 2nd annual Mental Heaitn Awareness weeK during the week of January 28th- January 31st. We had two main goals for the week, and the staff and students participated in a variety of engaging and informative activities around these goals.

Goal #1: To encourage a conversation about Mental Health and reduce stigma. Our hope was to instill the message that the students are not alone, and that the staff at Sargent Park will always be here if they need to talk.

Activity: Staff engaged in rich discussions with their students about what Mental Health and wellness means to them. This culminated in every student from grade 1-9, designing a conversation bubble that described either visually or in written form, their personal understanding of Mental Health and wellness. The conversation bubbles were hung along the main hallways of the school, and along the gallery in the Jr./Sr. High gymnasium. The students did an amazing Job capturing their thoughts and their bubbles truly demonstrated their strong understanding of Mental Health and how important it is to talk to someone about their feelings, and to be there for others.

WINNtPEG SCHOOL DIVISION Page 118 of 124

Goal #2: To teach students strategies to use to promote mental wellness, and provide them with tools to use when they are feeling stressed, sad, angry or anxious.

Activities: The students participated in a variety of activities that taught them various techniques and tools for mental wellness. These included school-wide Mindful Moments, breathing/stretching exercises, an assembly on the importance of healthy eating and learning how to eat mindfully, and room 105 taught the entire school all about Mindfulness, gratitude and having a growth mindset!

Our grade 7-9 students were shown a variety of Mental Wellness based apps that they can download for free on their phone or other devices.

We also took the opportunity to asK students to reflect and share about their own mental health through our online survey known as OurSCHOOL Survey. We wanted to know what factors cause them stress and strategies they use to cope with that stress. This information was used to help us support our students better and to identify instructional needs related to mental health.

Parent Teacher Association

Sargent Park Parent Teacher Association has been busy providing hot dog lunch days for students to enjoy a meal with their school community as well as planning fundraising activities to support the growth of our technology, athletic and arts programs.

Trustee Jennifer Chen joined our February PTA meeting engaging in conversation around the WSD budget and learning about our Sargent Park community, school and programs.

Wolseley School is a Nursery to grade 6 school with 205 students. We have the Regular and Alternative Programs, as well as the Adaptive Skills Program. All of our classes are multi-age classes. We have a busy and energetic Parent Advisory Council at Wolseley School. We are involved in supporting the school through many projects and initiatives: ^ This winter, a group of parents built a skating rink on our playground. i This is the sixth year in a row that they have done this. The rink is used by our community and the Phys. Ed. program at the school. Our P.E. teacher is running a skating club who will take part in the annual speed skating races at the Winnipeg Arena in March.

We have many clubs for students of all ages at Wolseley: Board Game, Science Fair, MYRCA, Basketball, and Football, to name a'few. These clubs are supported with funds from parent council and with parent volunteers. Our main fundraiserthis year is Pizza Lunch. Fundsfrom Pizza Lunch go towarts the Grade 6 Farewelhactivities and the Back Alley (yard) Project. We will also be doing a plant sale in the spring. Funds from that will also go to support the Maker Space. The Peace Garden and Back Alley (backyard) is the biggest ongoing project at our School. Each year, students plant and harvest food from boxes in the Peace Garden. Families and community members tend the boxes in the summer. This garden is a fun and peaceful place in our community. Parentcouncil will also be supporting the Creativity Conference that is being held atWolseley on March 20. Parents and community members will share their talents and creative endeavours with the students at the school.

The Parent Council also supports the Playgroup that meets e-^, once a week in the Library. Parents and caregivers can drop in with their children who are not yet school age. It is a great way to meet other families in the neighbourhood and help children become familiar with their school.

2. 2019/2020 DRAFT BUDGET DISCUSSION

Committee members were provided with an overview of the 2019/2020 Draft Budget. Committee members were informed that on January 9, 2019, the Province of Manitoba announced funding for public education. The increase for all of Manitoba for 2019/2020 is 0.5% or $6.6 million dollars.

Committee members were also informed that the Division provides many programs/services for students that are not provincially funded as follows: Intercultural Support Workers, Library Technical Assistants, Computer Technicians, adult crossing guards, School Resource Officers, off campus programs, Home Learning Assistants for Early School Years, Library and Support Services, therapy services, summer school, nutrition programs, nursery, arts performances, special events and programs, milk subsidy, and Attendance Officers. These programs/services cost $11,415,173 and are areas the Board of Trustees may have to find cost savings if required.

FRENCH IMMERSION ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Thursday, February 21, 2019 - 2 -

Overall, Committee members were not in agreement with the 2.9% increase as salaries are not keeping up with rate of inflation and property tax increases. Committee members supported the Non-Mandatory Programming in WSD as these programs have been successful in increasing and supporting learning abilities for students.

In response to an enquiry, Committee members were informed that the Division has not implemented an early retirement incentive with the exception of one time, several years ago.

Committee members agreed that the budget should maintain existing programs and services to minimize property tax increases. Committee members agreed that new or the expansion of programs and services should not be considered this year.

Committee members were informed that the Budget presentation is available on the Winnipeg School Division’s website along with a property tax calculator and survey.

3. FRENCH IMMERSION OVERVIEW/PROGRAMS/TEACHERS

At the previous meeting, Committee members requested the topic of French Immersion Programs be included on all future agendas.

The Superintendent of Education Services was in attendance to provide information regarding French Immersion Overview, Programs and Teachers. Committee members were informed that WSD has 17 schools with French Immersion Program and will be adding another program once the school in Waterford Green opens. Committee members were informed that due to an increase in enrolment, WSD has added schools where the French Immersion Program is offered. Page 122 of 124

FRENCH IMMERSION ADVISORY COMMITTEE SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS – Thursday, February 21, 2019 - 3 -

Committee members were informed that WSD continues to pursue the recruitment of French Immersion Teachers through various methods including Job Fairs. Committee members were informed that recruitment strategies require a significant amount of resources. Committee members suggested that it would be important to understand the resources required by WSD and requested statistics in the areas of enrolment projections, retirements, staffing, program expansion to identify the type of recruitment that is required to support the program.

Committee members discussed the International Baccalaureate Programme (IB) at Kelvin High School and recommended this program be discussed at a future meeting.

Committee members were informed that some WSD graduates attended l’Université de Saint-Boniface and returned to WSD to pursue their teaching career.

Committee members discussed enrolment in the French Immersion Programs. Committee members showed concern that students attend up to grade 7/8 and decide to register in English Programs by grade 9. Committee members were informed that this is due to different factors, as for example, students make their own decisions by grade 7/8 and follow their friends. Committee members recommended that information and resources should be communicated to parents through open houses where they can speak to the principals, teachers and guidance counsellors to discuss their concerns and receive information.

Committee members agreed to add French Immersion Enrolment, Space Requirements, Parent Supports and Resources to the next agenda for discussion.

Committee members were informed that the French Immersion Principals and Vice-Principals will meet and bring the discussions to the next French Immersion meeting in May.
