Headmaster's Message Christmas Charity Drive TEMPO TIMES Tempo School Newsletter December 2016 Headmaster’s Message Parent Advisory Council Mr. Ray Battochio, Headmaster presents... While it has been a busy fall at Tempo, it seems there is no time to rest before the holidays. We are diligently working on two January events that we would like to bring to Town Hall your attention. Meeting On January 11, 2017 we will be hosting an evening at the University of Alberta Faculty (Childcare Provided) Club for Grade 9 students and their parents. We have dubbed the evening: ‘Why You Should Choose Tempo for High School’. We will be providing students, parents, and Tempo staff with a buffet dinner that will include soft drinks, coffee, and tea. Following Thursday, dinner a variety of speakers will present compelling reasons why grade 9 students should choose Tempo for their high school. Speakers will include Tempo staff, former January 19, 2017 students, and other guests. Parents and students have already been invited to the event. 6:00 p.m. Tempo will require an RSVP from parents by December 21, 2016 in order to make final meal arrangements with the Faculty Club. Parents may RSVP Ms. Mykytiuk at Dinner and Movie [email protected] to confirm attendance. ‘Screenagers’ On January 19, 2017 our Parent Advisory Council (PAC) will be hosting a Town Hall http://www.screenagersmovie.com/ Meeting for parents to meet with school administration. If you have issues that you would like to have discussed in the forum, please email them to PAC members. The RSVP email address is [email protected]. The principal focus of the meeting will be to consider how the digital world is affecting Tempo students. Whether it is increasing screen [email protected]. time, cyber bullying, or the impact of social media, there is little doubt that students today are very connected to digital devices. We will begin at 6:00 p.m. with a light dinner and a 7:00 p.m. viewing of the documentary movie ‘Screenagers’ to help us focus on the topic. At 7:00 p.m. we will convene the Town Hall Meeting.

Since all age eligible students are invited to participate in the tournament, Tempo will be starting spelling bee clubs for students ages 6 to 8, 9 to 11, and 12 to 14 at the beginning of February. Students may choose to compete in either French or English. There will be no charge for students interested in participating in the spelling bee clubs or in the Spelling Bee of Canada Regional Competition on April 8, 2017. As you well know, spelling is an important English language skill and one on which Tempo places a high degree of emphasis.

Registration forms are available from Ms. Mykytiuk at the office. Since registration for the Spelling Bee of Canada Regional Competition must be completed by December 31, 2016, we ask that students complete their registration with Tempo by December 16, 2016. Lunch and Learn Career Exploration Volunteers Needed Lunch and Learn is a parent volunteer program that supports students with career exploration and development. Here is how Lunch and Learn works. You volunteer your time to talk about your career for 20 minutes between 11:50 a.m. and 12:10 p.m. on any day of the week between mid January and the end of May. Your conversation with students can be ‘live’ in our library, or virtually through Skype. We provide you with these questions to guide your conversation: Could you tell us a little about professional life? Why did you choose your field of study/career pathway and how is this connected to your passion or purpose in life? Could you describe your typical work day? What are the best parts of your work? What challenges have you found in your work that you weren’t sure of, or necessarily prepared for, when you started? Our Parent Advisory Council (PAC) sponsors the event by providing students with a pizza and a drink for lunch, so it makes it very easy for students to attend. All we need is you. If you would like to volunteer please contact Mr. Battochio via email at [email protected]. Tempo Fall Dances had some ‘spooktacular’ costumes. Princesses and super heroes enjoyed the dance and game rooms. Middle School Mysee Masche Masqquerading. Are these really students in Lower School? These students were all dressed up for the Family Dance. These Tempo students and friends got caught in the volunteer web. Upper School students looked great at their Halloween dance. Upper School News We are very pleased to report that Tempo School has hosted several universities this fall including the University of Alberta, University of British Columbia, and McGill University. We are very proud to announce that 100% of our grade 12 students have applied to one or more institutions for post-secondary education. The examination schedule for our Upper School students has been prepared and is available to our students. Tempo grade 2 students learned about the Lord Strathcona Mounted Troop. We would like to remind parents that regular classes will be held when stu- dents are not writing exams this January. Our Student Council has been busy this fall organizing bi-weekly events including a very successful Halloween Dance. They also volunteered on Friday, December 2 to decorate the school for the holiday season. This event included decorating the school and enjoying a pizza dinner. The event ended with a mug of hot chocolate and a movie. Tempo School will be hosting grade nine students and their parents to an even- ing at the University of Alberta Faculty Tempo students, parents and staff enjoy a spectacular performance of the Strathcona Club. We shall outline ten reasons why Mounted Troop Musical Ride. Tempo is their best choice for continuing their high school education. All grade nine students and their parents are encour- aged to attend. We ask that you RSVP before Christmas break to Ms. Mykytiuk. She can be reached at [email protected].

We will also be looking for 12 volunteers from our upper school to Students were thrilled to meet members of the Strathcona Mounted Troop and their prepare and serve the meal. An update horses following the musical ride. will be provided in the New Year. Student Drop off and Pick up Routines at Tempo On most days when you drive your child to Tempo, you probably notice a parent volunteer and Mr. Battochio out in the parking lot. We are very fortunate to have wonderful parking patrol volunteers who are able to help out for about 20 minutes between 8:00 a.m. and 8:20 a.m. These people do an amazing job keeping our students safe and facilitating the flow of traffic through the passenger drop-off lanes. Since we need volunteers for each day of the school year, it is quite helpful to be able to draw from a large pool of people. Greg Berghuys is our parking Drivers should pull forward all the way in the passenger drop- patrol volunteer coordinator, and he is looking for people to volunteer a off lanes. Please do not stop your vehicle until you have reached the STOP sign. As you can see in this picture, ideally, few days per week or even a week sometime during the year. As with we would like to fit three vehicles in each drop-off lane to any volunteer activity, many hands make light work. We ask that you ensure the flow of traffic. e-mail Greg at [email protected], if you are able to help out. Our drop-off area has painted arrows, stop lines, a safety zone, and signs to remind drivers to pull forward and to stop where required. While the focus of these features is student safety, we are trying to help facilitate the flow of traffic by having vehicles move all the way forward to the front of the passenger drop-off zone. Each drop-lane is designed to hold three vehicles. We would like to encourage people to move forward in order to make the drop-off and pick-up more efficient. Stopping at the large yellow line creates enough room so that Being out in the parking lot allows us to observe the morning traffic three vehicles can stop in the drop-off lane.
