School Philosophy Aldergrove School is a place to belong, to contribute, and to grow, a caring and respectful environment that seeks to nurture positive relationships. We believe that learning is an individual process, that by developing self-regulation, independence, and an excellent work ethic, children are prepared to take responsibility for their own learning, thereby setting the foundation for individuals to work together. We believe that learning is a social process, that by engaging in collaborative and respectful interactions with others, children learn together to achieve their potential. We believe that self-regulated independent learners, who are capable of interacting with others, are able to lead together. Our beliefs underlie our school's Mission Statement: Working... Learning... Leading... Together!

Community Profile Aldergrove School is located in, and serves, an active, west end community in the vicinity of West Mall. The school was built in 1976. The Aldergrove School Council and the Parent Advisory Association are very committed to supporting the education of their children and the work of the school. Parent volunteers provide direct support by working in the classrooms, helping with school-wide activities, and assisting with special events. Staff, students, parents, and the community work together to provide high quality learning experiences in a safe and secure environment. The Aldergrove Child Care, located in the Community League building adjacent to the school, and the community-at-large continue to use the school for after-hour activities.

Programs and Organization Aldergrove School provides a focused academic program for all students, including those with diverse learning needs. Reading comprehension, language arts and early literacy activities are the core of student success and receive strong support in our school community. The Balanced Literacy Programme is followed school-wide, kindergarten to grade six, including two district site special needs classes. Integration of a variety of technology resources supports our plan to improve student achievement and to prepare students for the 21st Century. One Division I class and one Division II class serve the needs of students with severe behaviour and emotional disorders. Music programming is provided to all students with instrumental, choral, and movement components. Students also are supported through Leveled Literacy Intervention, the University of Community Service Learning Project and Study Buddy initiatives, and Grant MacEwan University Work Integrated Learning Placement. Student leadership activities and student-led assemblies are designed to gain a higher level of student engagement. As a Leader in Me school, based on Stephen Covey's, The Seven Habits of Effective People, leadership is taught, promoted, and recognized.

School Community Relationships We would like to acknowledge the following community members who have helped to foster the growth and success of our students: FYi doctors West Edmonton Mall, GEF's Meadowlark Lodge, Kids on Track, Study Buddy, The Family Centre,

Division Priorities 2018-2022 1. Foster growth and success for every student by supporting their journey from early learning through high school completion and beyond. 2. Provide welcoming, high quality learning and working environments. 3. Enhance public education through communication, engagement and partnerships. Based on the three SMART goals that were established for 2019-2020, report on the results you achieved (with evidence, including referencing the School’s Accountability Pillar results, if applicable) and describe how achievement of the goal supports the above Division’s Priorities that were in effect when the goal was set.

Goal Two: Success for Every Student

By June 2020, 75% of grades 1 - 6 students will be reading at or above grade level, as measured by Edmonton Public Schools' Reading Levels, based on student demonstration of relevant outcomes in the Alberta Program of Studies and the consistent administration of the Fountas and Pinnell Benchmark Assessment System in the third term.

Results Achieved: This goal was not achieved. 62.3% of grades 1 - 6 students were reading at or above grade level. This was a 6% decrease from the previous year's result. (Concurrently, Jasper Place Catchment realized a 5% decrease while the School Division realized a 3.8% decrease.) Students entering grade 1 are demonstrating deficits in literacy that impact learning and progress towards reading 'at grade' by the end of the school year. In response, teachers in grades 1 and 2 modified the timetable in order to provide languages arts instruction for the whole morning, from September to the end of January. 60.6% of English Language Learners from grades 1 - 6 were reading at or above grade level. This was a 19.7% decrease from the previous year's results of 80.3%. 31.5% of First Nations, Metis and Inuit students from grades 1 - 6 were reading at or above grade level. This was a 6.2% decrease from the previous year's result of 41.3%. Due to the cancellation of the Grade 6 Provincial Achievement Tests, results for the Reading Component for Language Arts is not available. 96% - Percentage of teachers, parents and students satisfied with the overall quality of basic education - Accountability Pillar.

Goal Three: Building capacity through a culture of collaboration and distributed leadership By June 2020, 100% of Aldergrove Staff will have demonstrated the application of foundational knowledge about First Nations, Metis and Inuit in the classroom, as measured by an individually prepared qualitative account. Staff will engage in monthly collaborative discussions to share approaches and strategies in support of application. Staff, also, will continue to engage in professional learning through presentations and workshops in order to build upon the work of 2018-2019 to develop foundational knowledge of First Nations, Metis, and Inuit.

Results Achieved: (Note: 19% of students identified as First Nations, Metis, or Inuit) This goal was partially achieved. During the course of the year, Staff continued to build foundational knowledge about First Nations, Metis, and Inuit and met monthly for collaborative discussions. A Consultant with Curriculum and Learning Supports provided a presentation on how to weave First Nations, Metis and Inuit Literature into Math, as well as a presentation on how to implement the Literacy Seed Kit, a collection of 76 books written or illustrated by a person with First Nations, Metis or Inuit heritage. The books have curricular connections to language arts, science, social studies, health and art. The application of foundational knowledge was grounded in the use of literacy resources. The Teaching Quality Standard notes that the learning experiences of all students is supported by the use of resources that accurately reflect and demonstrate the strength and diversity of First Nations, Metis and Inuit. Staff were concerned with the potential to generalize their worldview with an FNMI worldview and, thus, to inaccurately reflect First Nations, Metis and Inuit. Consequently, the ability to use approved resources contributed to staff confidence in their ability to apply foundational knowledge.

Goal Two: Supports for the whole child

By June 2020, Aldergrove School will have maintained existing school-community relationships and will have established two new community partnerships to enhance public education. This goal will be measured by the attainment of school-community relationships denoted as Volunteer and Community Friend. Community partnerships will be communicated to parents throughout the school year through SchoolZone, classroom newsletters, and events to convey the supportive relationships the broader community has with Aldergrove School.

Results Achieved: Public Education was enhanced through the maintenance of existing school-community relationships and by the development of additional relationships. The School initiated a ‘Volunteer’ relationship with Grant MacEwan University through the “Change Making Initiative for Academic Community Involvement”. Four university students worked in classrooms to provide support to students. The school secured a ‘Business’ relationship with the Family Centre to provide a 0.1 FTE Mental Health Therapist, at cost to the school. Altogether, the Therapist provided counselling to 11 students from September to March. Subsequent to classes being cancelled due to COVID-19, the Therapist continued online with eight students, having weekly or bi-weekly Google Meets with the student and parent. Parents were also provided with strategies to use during the time of class cancellation. For a second year, a ‘Business’ relationship continued with the Assistant Golf Professional from the Royal Mayfair Golf Club to provide golf lessons to students, through an Artist in Residency. This endeavour was funded by the Aldergrove Parent Advisory Association. Aldergrove also developed a ‘Partnership’ with the Edmonton Food Bank to provide food donations to the school, as needed. A recess snack was provided to students who requested one, and lunch was provided to students who had forgotten to bring one to school.

What were the biggest challenges encountered in 2019/20? The biggest challenges encountered included the following: Students entering grade 1 demonstrating greater deficits in reading and writing knowledge and skills. Since the 2017-2018 school year, there has been a noticeable decline in the percentage of students reading at grade level and writing with a performance level of adequate or higher. COVID-19 and class cancellations The cancellation of classes on March 14th, 2020, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, impacted the ability of teachers to address the reading skills and comprehension of students. This was particularly evident at the kindergarten to grade 2 levels. Additionally, intervention supports could not be sustained, nor levels of student engagement in their learning.

What was most important for your school community as you prepared for the 2020-2021 school year? What was most important for our school community was providing reassurance to parents/guardians that student learning would be safe during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Reassurance was attained through two means: 1) Providing family choice for either in-person or online learning. For parents/guardians who were concerned about their child potentially coming into contact with COVID-19 through face-to-face interactions with other students, the option to have their child engage in online learning alleviated such a concern. For parents/guardians who needed or wanted their child to attend school, the option for in-person learning was available. Additionally, the option to choose up to four times during the course of the school year provided reassurance that families could respond with flexibility to any imminent changes in the spread of COVID-19 with the greater community. 2) Letting parents/guardians know what safety precautions and protocols were in place for in-person learning. This entailed preparing a School Re-entry Strategy to supplement the School Division's Re-entry Strategy, as well as a video to show parents/guardians the safety protocols that had been put in place to support students and staff.
