Eric Harvie School Literacy Night!!
EHS would like to invite you to an evening all about developing literacy skills in young learners! The evening will be full of information about how reading skills typically progress and how best to support your developing reader at home.
The evening will begin with some general information about supporting all readers and then we will split into two groups with one focusing on younger readers and one focusing on more advanced readers.
When: December 5th 6:00-7:00 pm
Where: Eric Harvie School
Please RSVP via sign up genius at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080D44AFAB28ABF94-53057412-parent#/
School Learning Conferences
School Conferences with classroom teachers will generally be on Thursday, Nov. 28 (4:30 - 7:30 pm) and Friday, Nov. 29 (8:00 am - 12:30 pm). Bookings will open on Friday, Nov. 22 at 9:00 am. Please ensure you have access to your MyCBE account to book these conferences - if you need help please see this website or see Josie in the office.
At Eric Harvie School, we ask that you please have your child attend the conference together with you. If you feel that conversations need to occur with only adults, you or the teacher are welcome to signal this in the conference.
The times are a little bit different for Kindergarten classes to make enough space available to meet with Mrs. Mask and for the Bowles/Low grade 2 class as per the email sent home earlier this month. Please ensure you are choosing the correct teacher for your conferences.
“Flakes” Choir Performance
December 12th is fast approaching and the singers have been working hard. This is the biggest choir that we have had at Eric Harvie School and we are very excited to share what we have been working on. There will be two performances for families to attend on Dec. 12th. The first one is in the afternoon at 1:30 and the second in the evening at 5:30. Because of the vast number of participants we ask that you only bring two people to each showing of the play. This will ensure that we do not go over fire code and that every singer will have space for someone to watch them at their shows. Thank you for your understanding.
An email will come home soon to choir students outlining instructions for the night of the performance as well as speaking roles, solos and costumes (don’t worry - they can wear whatever they want).
Lost and Found
Our lost and found is reaching all time high levels! We are 99% sure that these items came from children that attend our school, so our goal is to get them back to families as much as possible. We placed the items out for families to look for items during conferences and during the choir performances the past couple weeks. We will keep these items at the school until December 20 and then will be donating unclaimed items to a charity.
Parent Reading Volunteers!
We are looking for parents who are able to come in and read with students. Ideally we would love to have parents who are able to read between 2-5 days a week for a period of 20-40 minutes.
If this is something you are interested in, please email Lesley Tait at lmtait@cbe.ab.ca
Thank you!
