Welcome to the 2019/20 School Year at École Rocky Elementary School!

My name is Mr. Tim Bowman and I am the new school principal at ÉRE after Mr. Snyder retired last June. I am so excited to be joining this wonderful school!

A little about me - I grew up on a farm near the small town of a little northwest of , but my professional career has taken me all around . I started as a music teacher in and then Red Deer, but have since been to Whitecourt, Ponoka, and now Rocky Mountain House as a school administrator. All added up, this is my twenty-third year in education! I am married to Paula and we have two children currently in grade four and six. Outside of school, I am active as a musician (piano & saxophone) and volunteer often with the youth 4-H program.

We also have some other new staff I would like to introduce you to - Mrs. Kim Simo is our new Assistant Principal and Student Success Facilitator. She is coming to us from Caroline School. We also have a new music teacher - Mrs. Sharlene McLaughlin, a new grade 5 teacher - Ms. Brooke Johnston, and a new grade one French immersion teacher - Ms. Lauren Bolton. Ms. Bolton started grade one as a student in the immersion program at ÉRE and has now returned to teach it!

Our school start up has been amazing! On the first day of school, we held a Welcome Back Assembly where we introduced the staff. We then talked about our one big school rule - Hands, feet, and words are for helping, not hurting. I also shared with students a few new things at ÉRE like classes singing O on the school announcements, a daily challenge draw, and Pizza with the Principals for monthly award winners! Already I am very impressed with the student diligence to their studies and kindness shown to everyone in the school.

I look forward to meeting you soon! Please feel free to schedule a meeting with me by contacting the school, or plan to attend one of our upcoming school events: Terry Fox Run (Sept 25, 1:45 pm), School Council Meeting (Sept 30, 12 noon), September Assembly (Sept 30, 1:45 p.m.), and Grandparent’s Day (Oct 10, 1:30 p.m.)

At our first day assembly, the students and I decided that this will be our BEST YEAR EVER and I’m certain it will be. If at any time you have questions or concerns, please contact me at the school by phone (403-845-3541) or e-mail ([email protected]).

All my best,

Mr. Bowman

CLUB MOO MILK PROGRAM & LUNCHES

There will be changes happening to the Club Moo Program and student lunches! Please watch for more information as we transition to an online ordering system coming out in the near future. A huge thank you to Kiza Trentham and Misty Jacowishen for their hard work in organizing these program for our students.

INCLEMENT WEATHER—CLOTHING

With the weather changing quickly, you should be aware of the current weather forecast. Dressing in layers allows your child to be more flexible to changing weather conditions and activities.

Ensure your child comes to school dressed properly (footwear and clothing) for those rainy or snowy days. As children like to play in puddles, sometimes they accidently fall in to these puddles and are in need of a change of clothing. We carry a very limited supply of clothing in the office for students to change into, please throw an extra set of clothing into their backpacks for those rainy days.

We are always in need of extra clean clothing at the office. If you have children’s clothing that you don’t have a need for, we would gratefully accept these items.

ÉRE school picture day is on October 22 & 23 this year! We are in need of two parent volunteers to help ensure our picture day runs smoothly! Please let the office know if you would be interested in helping out! Forms will be forwarded home closer to the date.

 Thank you to Dovercourt Community Hall Club for their donation of $700 to the ÉRE Fundraising Committee. Thank you to all those who participated in the Bingo!  Thank you to Lisa Scholz for her donation of scribblers for student use!  Thank you to Crystal Sieppert for her assistance in the office with ADmazing $avings orders and last year’s yearbook distribution!  Misty Jacowishen for her assistance with distribution of Custom School Supplies!

STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS CONFIRMATION FORM

Mrs. Morgan will be sending home a Student Demographics Confirmation Form in the near future. Please make any necessary changes, sign that you have reviewed the form and return to school as soon as possible. If you have changes throughout the year, please contact the school to provide this infor- mation.

All forms need to be signed and returned even if there are no corrections/changes.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter. PAGE 4 ÉCOLE ROCKY ELEMENTARY NEWS

SCHOOL FEES—VARIOUS

Agendas, Amazing $avings Ticket Packs, Pre-K Fees will be on-line shortly. Parents/guardians are encour- aged to pay on-line. See page 14 for instructions for online payments.

ALBERTA EDUCATION

Parents and teachers can find a variety of resources in the Alberta Government’s online website to help with preparing for the new school year. My Child’s Learning provided by Alberta Education, gives parents an in-depth look at the subjects and program available from Kindergarten to senior high school.

http://www.learnalberta.ca/content/mychildslearning

PERSONAL PROPERTY

With over 300 students in the school, it is expected that things will and do go missing. Often items are retrieved from the playground, or from one of two lost and found boxes in the school. Smaller items (jewelry, money, etc.) are stored in a drawer in the office. There are always things which are never re- turned to their rightful owners, and we would ask parents to monitor what their children bring to and from school. Please avoid sending special or expensive toys and devices—students often have to leave them unwatched during class time, and the school cannot be held responsible for unexplained losses. If your child comes home with something that you do not think belongs to him/her, even if they say it was a “gift,” please give the school a call and have the student return the item to us.

THE ALBERTA FOUNDATION FOR THE ARTS (AFA) TRAVELLING EXHIBITION PROGRAM

It mandate is to ensure every Albertan is provided with an opportunity to enjoy full developed exhibi- tions in schools, libraries, health care centres and smaller rural institutions and galleries throughout the province. Check out the display in the front foyer display case before September 23rd .

A MESSAGE FROM THE LEARNING COMMONS

Welcome Back!

I hope you all had a wonderful summer!

If you found books over the summer that belong to the library, now is the time to bring them back. If you cleaned out your book shelves and would like to donate your gently used books to the library, we would love to have them.

Students have started to sign books out from the library, so please help your student find a safe place to keep their books. A large Ziploc works really well to protect books in their backpacks from spills.

We are still running “MakerSpace” in our Learning Commons. If you have any craft supplies, games, puzzles, or building items that you would like to donate, they would be greatly appreciated.

I hope everyone has a great year!

Mrs. Allen, Librarian

SAFE ARRIVAL PROGRAM FOR ATTENDANCE 1-855-756-2797 or http://wrsd.schoolconnects.com

École Rocky Elementary uses an automated serviced call the Safe Arrival Program for reporting student attendance. This has been in place since November 2013. The Safe Arrival Program allows parents/guardians to report their child’s absence in advance, or before a cut-off time of 9:00 a.m. for the current day in one of two ways:

Logging onto the Safe Arrival Parent Portal website: http://go.schoolmessenger.ca Calling the Safe Arrival toll free phone umber: 1-855-756-2797

The message machine used at the school will no longer take messages from parents about attend- ance. Please use one of the two methods mentioned to report your child(ren)’s absence.

The Safe Arrival Program reduces the time it takes to verify student attendance making it easier for you to report your child’s absence and easier for the school to respond to unexplained student ab- sences.

We are asking parents/guardians to report student absences prior to 9:00 a.m. for the current day, as well as planned future absences via the internet or telephone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, e.g. medical appointments.

The Safe Arrival Program uses an automated notification system to contact parents/guardians who have not reported their child’s absent. The automated notification system will contact parents/ guardians at multiple contact numbers until one of the designated contacts is reached. If our system is unable to reach a designated contact after 30 minutes, office staff will follow up. By reporting your child’s absence in advance using the 1-855-756-2797 number or http:// go.schoolmessenger.ca, you will not receive a call. Should you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school.

WILD ROSE SCHOOL DIVISION PARENT CALENDAR

A WRSD Parent Information Calendar has been sent home with all chil- dren. You may also find this calendar on the Wild Rose School Division website: http://wrsd.ca under the Parent section Division Calendar. If for some reason you did not get one, please contact the office. PAGE 12 ÉCOLE ROCKY ELEMENTARY NEWS

AFTER SCHOOL ARRANGEMENTS—IMPORTANT

It is extremely important that if your child’s afterschool arrangements have changed that you write a note to your child’s teacher and contact the bus driver. Unless there is a note the teacher will follow your child’s usual after school arrangements.

BREAKFAST PROGRAM

Our “Breakfast Program” is up and running. It runs from 8:20 a.m. to first bell at 8:40 a.m. Any student in the school has the option of coming to the program. Some students have long bus rides, sleep in, aren’t hungry when they leave home, but are hungry once they get to school. There is no charge for this program. It operates as part of the “Breakfast Club of Canada” with our main sponsor being Encana. If you or some- one you know would like to make a donation to our breakfast program or are able to assist, please contact Mrs. Allen at (403) 845-3541.

We are in need of helpers on weekday mornings from 8-8:45 a.m. Please contact the school if you are able to help. If you are interested in leaving your name and phone number to be able to come in when we are short of helpers, please contact Mrs. Allen. ÉCOLE ROCKY ELEMENTARY NEWS PAGE 13

BACK-TO-SHOOL LUNCH IDEAS

Give your kids the energy they need to succeed at school. Try out these new healthy lunch ideas:

• Tropical ham sandwiches (ham, pineapple, banana) • Peanut butter sandwiches made with grated carrot, banana, applesauce, sliced apples/pears or raisins (please keep in mind if there are peanut allergies in the classroom) • Wraps/tacos: fill them with whatever your child likes • Yogurt or homemade pudding with added fruit • Hot soup or chili in a thermos • Cheese and apple sandwiches • Homemade pizza

GIVE YOUR CHILD THE TOOLS TO GET ORGANIZED FOR SCHOOL SUCCESS

She rushed out the door, late for the bus again. Five minutes later, you saw her math homework sit- ting on her bed.

Helping your child get organized is one of the most important ways to help her do better in school. After all, is she doesn’t have her homework, she can’t turn it in for a grade.

Here are some tips that will get your child organized year:

 Start with a daily checkup. Each day, have your child clean out her back pack—all the way to the bottom (yipes!). Then help her make a list of what she has to do that day. She’ll feel good as she checks off each item on her list. And you’ll be happy when you don’t find math home- work on the bed in the morning.

 Help your child set up a study space. Kids who aren’t naturally organized need all the help they can get. Studying in the same place every day is one way to help them focus. You don’t have to buy a desk—the kitchen table can be a good study spot. But collect pens, pencils, paper, erasers and other study supplies in a box. That way, they’ll be ready when she needs them.
