Attention all French Immersion parents!  

In the recent months there have been issues regarding the upper grades of French Immersion brought to the table at our PAC meetings.  We felt it was necessary to attack these issues head on to resolve them as efficiently as possible.  To accomplish this, meetings have been held between concerned French Immersion parents and the school administration.  We feel we are making positive advancements with our concerns. Administration and staff have been very active in addressing these issues to bring them to a positive and proactive resolve.  

We as a group feel this has to date, been a fantastic open forum and would like to offer all parents of French Immersion children to join us with your concerns or just for your support in improving the quality of this program.

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, May 4^th

in Room 28 at ÉESS, where we will review the student survey results and work on finalizing a survey instrument for parents and staff.

For more information please contact

Patty Sanclemente @ 268-1436.

Let's work together for the betterment of

OUR kids education.

 

 

Artspeak is an arts credit program offered by the division. It is designed to provide specialized learning for students who are talented in the arts. The program participants explore ideas through writing, storytelling, drawing, painting, sculpture, movement, and music.

Students attend Camp Cedarwood for four days & participate in daily sessions from

9:00 am till 10:00 pm from Monday to Thursday. Successfully completing two of these sessions provides students with a full credit towards their high school diploma.

The 2010 - 2011 program has five possible sessions for students to attend:

"Cirque de Masques"          November 15-18 "The I in Friends"                                December 6–9  

"Rhythm of Life"                   February 21- 24

 "Extrapolation"                    March 21-24

 "Sign of the Times"             March 28-31

Each session focuses on visual arts, theatre, or music and movement, but each also incorporates elements of all of these. Participants need to be responsible enough to be able to miss four consecutive days of classes; mature & motivated enough to be able to handle four twelve-hour days of intense arts instruction.

Students apply to be accepted to the program by May 20, 2010 and then, before June 15, are informed if they have been accepted or are on the waiting list for sessions.

Not everyone who applies is accepted.

Let Mr. Liske know if you are interested or know of a student who should be

considered for this program!

 

 

All grade 12 students enrolled in English, Mathematics or Français at the 40S level are required to write a Provincial exam.

Let's work together for the betterment of

OUR kids education.

 

This year, our school, BEYS and Gillis are partnering together to set our school goals for the 2010-11 school year. On Monday, March 8^th, each student at ÉESS will receive a letter outlining this creative way of gathering student, staff and community input around the topic of Student Learning.

The basic idea is that anyone can submit a photo of your interpretation of what Student Learning means. As long as your photo has your name and a one line caption, it will be included and used to help inform the staffs at these three schools when they are setting their goals for the next school year. All photos must be submitted to any of the schools by Friday, April 23^rd to be included in this project. Hope to see yours there!!

Congratulations goes out to Trevor Ans

for being selected as a participant in this year’s Forum for Young Canadians.

Trevor will be representing École Edward Schreyer School, as well as the Sunrise School Division from April 18^th to 24^th at this conference being held in Ottawa, Ontario.

The forum looks at the foundation for the study of processes of government in Canada. Trevor will be joining other young Canadians to learn about the inner workings of our government at our nation’s capital. The school is proud that you were chosen for this all expense paid opportunity.

Way To Go Trevor!!

 

The Edward Schreyer School Varsity Cheer and Pom Squads traveled to Edmonton, Alberta to compete in the oldest cheerleading competition in Western Canada. The two day competition combined scores from a performance on Friday night and Saturday afternoon to allow the cheer team to win first place in their Super Large Varsity Category. Although the Pom Team did not place in the top five squads they did win the Grand Prize Draw which entitles them to $2000.00 worth of gear from Ultimate Leaders Corp. – one of the main sponsors of the competition. Both teams worked extremely hard and had the opportunity to practice with two Edmonton teams – St. Francis Xavier and Queen Elizabeth which allowed them a chance to share new techniques and ideas as well as giving them both a cheering section at the competition. After competing on Saturday, the teams made a side trip to Jasper and Banff to allow some time in the mountains – a new experience for many of the squad members! Both teams will be competing in Provincials on April, 9^th at the Investor’s Group Centre at the University of Manitoba!

Thanks to a CDPI Grant, our school is able to offer gym memberships to Back In Action, Curves, and Eastman Boxing for only 40% of the actual cost. The grant covers the remaining costs after the initial amount is paid by the student. We are also able to sell pedometers for 50% of the actual cost. Students can purchase an orange or black pedometer for only $7.00. Bring payment to the office and receive your pedometer.

See Ms. Tymko or PE staff for more info!!

 

 

At the end of April, the school will be initiating grade level meetings to determine class lists for next year. Placing students into classrooms is an involved process with input from administration, classroom teachers, resource teachers, guidance counsellors, special needs teachers as well as other educational specialists. There are many factors taken into consideration when placing students in their class grouping:

• the learning style of individual students
• specific learning needs of individual students
• the group dynamics of students
• the ratio of boys and girls
• the total size of the class
• behavioural needs
• educational interventions available

Parents wishing to provide sound educational rationale for their child’s placement may submit requests in writing to Mr. Liske,

Ms. Fetterly or Ms. Tymko by April 30^th, 2010. These submissions, with rationale, will be considered during grade level placement planning. Submissions following this date will be unable to be considered during the placement process. Placement submissions which only request a particular teacher or placement requests based on student friendships will not be considered.

The school reserves the right to make the final decision based on the overall educational needs of all students at a particular grade level. All placements are subject to staffing changes and changes in teaching personnel could occur after student placement.

Class placements will be included in the final report card sent home with students on Tuesday, June 29^th.

Congratulations to one of our Grade 10 students, Chris Kematch, who was presented with a Yes I Can! Award at a gala evening awards banquet on February 18.  Chris has received this award to recognize the time he spends volunteering within Mrs. Chamberlin's grade 6 classroom over the past two years.  He has made very positive connections with many of the young students he mentors and is an excellent role model.  Chris is a terrific example of our youth who are not only making positive personal choices but are also making a difference in the lives of others. 

The Fondation Paul-Gerin Lajoie promotes French literacy and raises money to construct schools, supply material and instruct teachers in Haiti, Senegal ,  Burkina Faso,  Benin and Mali.  Our grade 6 Immersion class had participated in the contest and our results are:

Rachel Scott was the first person killed in the Columbine High School tragedy on April 20, 1999. She left behind an amazing legacy and a simple challenge to anyone who will accept it – treat others with kindness and compassion and you may just change the world you live in.

Come join us on March 11, 2010 as we enjoy another presentation of Rachel’s Challenge at the Brokenhead River Recreational Complex. There will be two presentations during the school day and an evening presentation at 7:00 p.m. for anyone interested in attending.

Thanks to all our staff. Gratitude for what you accomplish and bring to each day. Together we strive as the educators for future generations. Building and nurturing kids minds that will sustain our future. Your strength and support are appreciated and welcomed. Please let us thank you for all you bring to children’s school environment. Thank you, merci.

Also, during the month we will have DEAR in which the whole school will drop everything and read. All staff and students will have a chance to win, if they are caught reading, answering the one minute mysteries, as well as participating in the read to win contest with their class.

Literacy skills are important, therefore the Literacy committee challenges everyone to find a good book and read!

A big thank you to SANDY POWERS of INVESTOR’S GROUP who nominated Edward Schreyer School to receive a fully sponsored speaking engagement with Free The Children’s We Generation speaking tour! On December 8^th Keith Macpherson & Renee Lamoureux put on an exciting workshop at École Edward Schreyer School!    Keith, a former Canadian Idol contestant, along with Renee spread their message of compassion and caring through speaking and playing music. Free The Children and Investors Group are excited to launch this exciting initiative, which has a track record of success inspiring young people across Canada to work towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals.  Thanks to the ongoing support of Investors Group, thousands of youth nationwide will be motivated and empowered to become agents of change within their community and around the world. Founded in 1995 by international child rights activist Craig Kielburger, Free The Children is the world's largest network of children helping children through education, with more than one million youth involved in our innovative education and development programs in 45 countries. Keith and Renee had been touring since 2001, when they released their debut album. They have visited countless cities across North America and have played in international showcases in London and Paris. Their music had been played on television commercials, television shows, and their song Good Year off the Revolution album was chosen as Manitoba’s Homecoming 2010 official anthem song alongside Bachman Turner Overdrive’s ‘You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet’. They have appeared on local TV stations, as well as Canada AM. Their speeches, like their songs, convey a positive message without preaching. They are wonderful role models, and as Keith puts it “When one person decides to live their life in a positive way, it affects the people around them and becomes contagious.”

Congratulations goes out to Trevor Ans

for being selected as a participant in this year’s Forum for Young Canadians.

Trevor will be representing École Edward Schreyer School, as well as the Sunrise School Division from April 18^th to 24^th at this conference being held in Ottawa, Ontario.

The forum looks at the foundation for the study of processes of government in Canada. Trevor will be joining other young Canadians to learn about the inner workings of our government at our nation’s capital. The school is proud that you were chosen for this all expense paid opportunity.

Way To Go Trevor!!

It is that time again, when the school administration needs to start planning and timetabling for courses for next year.

Informational booklets will be handed out to students starting on February 16^th. 

Each student will also participate in a presentation by grade or by homeroom before Friday, March 5^th. Parents may attend an info night on Thursday, February 25^th at 7:00 p.m. which will deal mainly with the transition from Grade 8 to the Senior Years credit and semester system. 

The people to contact if you have any questions are listed in the front of the course selection booklet. Deadlines for returning forms are solid as we will offer courses based on student choices. Any issues with regards to space in a particular course will be solved in part by the date that the student’s form is returned. 

Registration packages will be given out on Monday, March 8^th. The final deadline for returning course selection forms is Thursday, March 18^th. Please take the time to go over these important decisions with your child.

As outlined in the News From The Office section, the students, staff, and community have truly stepped up and responded to the need for funds to help the earthquake shaken country of Haiti.

Some highlights of our efforts include:

·          Lauren Litke obtaining 172

I ? Haiti T-shirts which were sold for $20 per T-shirt. She also created a video for all students showing facts and photos from Haiti.

·          Brett Hanson, Ryan Wilgosh and

Kody Kennedy organizing a school-wide Hike For Haiti. Students and community members were invited to a free Pancake Breakfast following the event.

·          Mrs. Paseska’s class organizing a pledge drive to raise money through World Vision. Monies raised will be doubled by this organization.

·          Paper Hearts were sold by various students throughout the week for a cost of $2 per heart. The hearts were signed and displayed in the front hall.

·          Heart cookies were sold throughout the week for $2 per cookie. Various students with the help of Mrs. Blocker baked and decorated the cookies.

The initial tallies of the funds raised for Haiti are around the $6200 mark, with monies from the businesses in the community to be collected and counted on February 1^st.

Look for final amounts and many more thanks in the March newsletter and the local papers.

Rachel Scott was the first person killed in the Columbine High School tragedy on April 20, 1999. She left behind an amazing legacy and a simple challenge to anyone who will accept it – treat others with kindness and compassion and you may just change the world you live in.

Come join us on March 11, 2010 as we enjoy another presentation of Rachel’s Challenge at the Brokenhead River Recreational Complex. There will be two presentations during the school day and an evening presentation at 7:00 p.m. for anyone interested in attending.

A huge thank you goes out to all the staff, students and parents for continued generosity with their efforts gathering non-perishable food items and gifts for the school?s Christmas Hampers. This year the school helped to supply six hampers for families in our community. The school and community were also very generous supporting Koats for Kids, a North End Women?s Shelter as well as the locked out Tembec workers in Pine Falls. Our sincere hope is that all these efforts brought joy to the people who both gave and received this past holiday season.

Go Barons!

Our Varsity Girls Basketball Team

will be hosting their 13th Annual

Lady Barons Basketball Tournament

on the weekend of January 8 & 9, 2010.  Come on out and support our team.

In association with the Beausejour Chamber of Commerce, a proposal was introduced to have two students in grades 11 or 12 become members at large of the organization.

The selected students would represent youth of tomorrow in observations, discussions and input for the betterment of our community from the perspective of youth.

Students would be required to attend regular scheduled Chamber of Commerce meetings.

Meetings scheduled during the school day would not be counted as an absence from regular class time. Students would need to be prepared to give input on attractions to our area, governmental issues of our community, wants and needs of youth, as well as current and future planning for our community.

The successful candidates will become active members with the Chamber of Commerce in September 2010 through to June 2011.

Grade 11 students chosen could continue in this role for the grade 12 school year as well. Students could earn a Volunteer Credit for being a member at large, in meeting the objectives, and for the time involved in this initiative. 

Any interested students should see

Mr. Bauschke before the end of January to

put their name forward for this opportunity.
