Parent Teacher/Student Led Conferences - Reminder
Please take a moment to book a 15 minute time slot using our online conference manager at https://webapps.cbe.ab.ca/MyAccount/Account/LogOn

Students will have a chance to share their learning with their parents/guardians - they're very excited to show you all of the hard work they've done!

Please note: please book a 15 minute appointment, but allow yourself an additional 15 minutes to run through some activities with your child. There will be two videos to watch plus an exit interview where you and your child will set goals for the next term.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns - or would like my assistance in booking an appointment, please do not hesitate to contact me!

S4 - In continuation from our discussion with Constable Dan, students discussed appropriate behaviour for the following emotions. Students used 'I can' statements to describe what they can do when they are feeling sad, happy, angry, excited, scared or tired.

Please ask your child: What can they do when they're feeling frustrated? (Thinking about appropriate behaviour)
