Principal Message - Mr. M. Lastiwka
The beginning of February marks the half way point in the school year. With the new semester comes some new exiting opportunities for our students. One such opportunity is Math 31 which is being offered to our grade twelve students with the use of our video conference technology. Our students are paired with another Math 31 class at Strathcona Christian Academy in Sherwood Park. With this use of our video conferencing technology we are looking forward to offering more courses and learning opportunities for our students.
Other new and exciting learning opportunities to our high school students will be offered through our Career and Technologies Studies program. Alberta learning as changed the Career and Technologies Studies program to include a variety of classes or modules that will prepare our students for a large variety of careers when they graduate from High School. Some of these courses include: tourism, boating safety, bowhunting education, forestry, finance, community volunteerism, computer sciences, design studies, agriculture, and many more. Look for these courses when registering for the 2010/11 school year.
Also starting next September, our school will be able to make use of a program called Powerschool. With this program, parents will be able to log into our student information system and see their child's attendance records and up to date marks by simply visiting the Powerschool website and logging in. Please stay tuned for more information.
