Dear Parents,

 Thank you for attending Parent Teacher Interviews.  We appreciate the opportunity to discuss the recent report card with students and parents.

 Traffic Safety

At Elboya School we are actively working to improve traffic safety. Beginning on Monday, February 2nd, 2015, Elboya School Patrols will be at the corner of 47th and 6th Street at the L shaped crosswalks. We will be discussing the new patrols with students on Monday, February 2nd. Staff will also be outside in greater numbers after school for a period of time while we adjust to this new situation.

 We ask for your active cooperation in respecting and assisting our Grade 5 and 6 students who run the patrols.   In particular we will be asking all parents and students to:

 -cross the street ONLY at a crosswalk

-park 5 meters from any crosswalks

 All of us working together can make the streets around the school safe. 

 Transportation Survey (Yellow School Buses)

The Calgary Board of Education is inviting parents to complete a short survey on transportation. The survey is located at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5K3973T

It will be open between February 2nd- to 16th, 2015.  The attached letter gives further details.

 
Awards

It is our intention to continue to offer awards at Elboya School. Assemblies will be on February 10th for grades 5-6 and 7-9. Some awards are available to all students. Some are academic and some are not. All students are eligible for awards.

Fierte de la Langue—for consistently speaking French in classes (no limit)

Elboya Outstanding Citizenship Award--excellent citizen and helps others 1/class

Most Improved—for students who have demonstrated significant improvement

Outstanding Academic Achievement—1 boy and 1 girl/class

Honours—for academic excellence in all classes to students who have primarily 4s and their teacher’s recommendation (no limit)

 Thank you.

Drama News – S. Park

I am very excited to announce that we are now starting the Spring Drama Production process! The title of the show will be announced once the right to produce it has been given to us, so next week I hope to announce the name of the two One-Act Plays we will be presenting. ALL students are welcome to audition and auditions will be held the second week of February. Stay tuned for more information next week. If you have questions please email Mrs. Park at sdkoehler@cbe.ab.ca. Thank-you!
 

Painting

Painting begins at Elboya School on February 2, 2015 and lasts until the end of March. This will occur during school hours. We ask for your patience as we receive this much-needed upgrade to our school’s appearance. 
 

Canadian Parents for French

CPF is holding a French family fun weekend February 27th, 28th and March 1st. in Jasper.

For more information regarding the weekend go to http://ab/cpf/ca/activites/calendar/  

CPF is an excellent resource for parents and students.

If you are interested in more information please contact Nancy Paton npaton@shaw.ca who is a parent here at Elboya and our liaison for CPF.
 

School Registration

We are now taking registrations for the 2015-2016 school year. If your child attends Elboya at this time you do not need to re-register. Registration for the French Immersion and the Intensive French programs will take place after February 5th.

 
Day Home Anyone?

With the new school year starting in September of 2015 we are wondering if any parent within the area is planning to open a day home in the fall. We have had parent inquiries regarding Kindergarten aged students and care. Parents are looking for accommodations that would fit in with their specific Kindergarten schedule. If you feel you would be providing a daycare service of this type please call me at (403) 777-7760 ext. 0. Thank you!
