A Message from the Office

We hope you have a great summer and we look forward to seeing everyone again in September!  You will receive an email from your child’s new teacher in August. 

The first day of school is on Tuesday, September 5.  This will be a full day. Please call the school if your child is going to be absent that first morning. This is very important as we juggle changes in our registration numbers on that first day. 

School supply information can be found on our website at    http://rbes.blackgold.ca/parents/school-supplies/   You can order packages throughout the summer, however, there is an additional charge of $5 after the August long weekend.

Additional Summer and September Information can be found on our website on our home page.

During the summer, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact our Principal, Mrs. Kloschinsky, by email: kathy.kloschinsky@blackgold.ca

What an amazing year!  I can not thank the students and parents of 1-2E enough for making this one of the most memorable years of my career.  I wish you all an amazing summer and can't wait to see the little ones in the hall in September!

Today we were fortunate that the weather held up and we were able to enjoy a walk through the beautiful Devon River valley and an afternoon at the splash park.

The Grade 2s went to Miquelon Lake to participate in the Alberta Parks Bugology program.   It was a fun day of bug hunting in the forest and water., as well as learning about the structure and biology of invertebrates and their habitats.  Thank you to Mrs. Cassell, who joined us today.


Reminder that Monday is FUN DAY!!  Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather. We will be swimming in the morning from 11:10-11:50, so please have your child wear his/her swimsuit to school.

BRRRR!  It was a chilly day in the pool today!!  

Today the Grade 1s and 2s explored many different online resources related to their Plants and Animals and Small Crawling and Flying Things units in Science.  A favourite was the online Food Chain game.  

The highlight of our day was receiving a special treat and certificate from Mrs. Raugust!  Thank you to all of the parents who helped to assist the students in getting their books returned.

1-2E students are bringing home all of their leftover supplies and also their work from the entire year.  Be sure to check out their art portfolios, they contain many artistic masterpieces! 

Reminders:
-Tomorrow is the last day to send in the school supply order forms, although supplies can still be purchased online over the summer. 
- Tomorrow is the Grade 2 field trip to Miquelon Lake.  Be sure to check your email for complete details.  
- The Grade 1s will be with their field trip classes tomorrow, so they will be swimming at alternate times.  Please check your email for that updated information.

Today students had a special performance by local Aboriginal and Metis dancers.  They came in and spoke with students about National Aboriginal Day and Aboriginal traditions, and also shared Aboriginal and Metis dances with the students.

One of the students favourite parts of going swimming is when they get to "fly" with the capes over to the pool!!

Thank you to the parents who have volunteered to help with our fun events over the last week of school:
Miquelon Lake: Mrs. Cassell
Swimming: Mrs. Webb, Mr. Tatchell, Mrs. Babb and Mrs. Wagner
Splash Park: Ms. Shah
