Cleared For Takeoff! 2023-24 School Theme
Monday, February 26, 2024
Greetings Aviators,
We hope this message finds you enjoying the last few days of guiding your students to finish strong in term 3! Only ten days left and we will be on our final approach to term 4!
Please take a moment to review the following important updates:
1. Weekly Flight Plan Lesson:
Every Monday during Steele Time, our students engage in creating a “Flight Plan” for the week. This includes setting a weekly goal and scheduling their activities. Additionally, teachers conduct a brief 5-10 minute connection activity.
This week students took an online skills assessment to explore their unique skills and talents. They were encouraged to reflect on how their skills have helped them reach their goals. I encourage you to discuss these activities with your students and share your own experiences.
2. Student Safety
Last week, our School Community Council convened to address the issue of student safety and other SCC business. During our discussions, several members of the SCC expressed profound appreciation for the safety measures recently implemented along Aviator Ave. Specifically, the decision to prohibit student parking on both sides of Aviator Ave, just south of the school entrance, has been recognized as a significant step forward in enhancing student safety.
While acknowledging the positive impact of these measures, it was also noted that further proactive steps are necessary to mitigate potential risks. One such concern raised was the safety of students crossing Aviator Ave after school. The SCC emphasized the importance of communicating with parents to discourage parking on Aviator Ave for student pickups, as this necessitates students to traverse the street. Unfortunately, this poses a safety hazard due to inadequate visibility for students crossing, thereby increasing the risk of accidents or incidents.
In light of these concerns, we urge all members of our school community to prioritize student safety by adhering to these guidelines. By working together, we can ensure a safer environment for all our students.
3. Student Council Elections
It’s Student Council Elections Week! All week long we will be featuring our candidates for Student Council for next year’s 10th, 11th, and 12th grade candidates. (Next year’s 9th Grade elections will take place separately at Frontier). Watch our Student Council Instagram for campaign posters and videos, and take a look at the posters in the hallways at school to determine who you would like to support for Student Council for the 2024-25 school year! Voting will take place on Thursday and Friday of this week. A link to vote will be sent to all students at the beginning of the day on Thursday. Students may vote for up to 12 candidates on their ballot and may only submit one ballot. You must be logged in to your school email to vote, and voting will remain open until 2:15 on Friday. Results will be announced on Instagram by 4 pm Friday. Good luck to all of our amazing candidates!
