Raven Report 1.12 Family Edition - November 14
Dear St. Kateri Raven Families:
This week we will welcome students and their families into the school on Tuesday and Wednesday evening for Parent/Guardian/Student/Teacher Conferences. We are excited to celebrate and share information with you about your child’s progress so far this school year and to set some learning goals for the school year.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank and praise you for the gift of Your Son to save us from our sin. We thank you for the gift of our Catholic schools and for dedicated, passionate teachers who lead our students to you. As we get into student/parent/teacher conference week, grant us patience and understanding. Lead our hearts and give us wisdom and the proper words as we work to find what is best for these children. Strengthen our relationship so that, in all things, we give all glory and honor to You.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
St. Kateri…help us to grow in God’s grace
Weekly News
· No School for Students -A reminder that we have no school for students on Friday, November 21st in lieu of our two evenings of Student-led conferences next week.
· Student Led Conferences are scheduled for Tuesday, November 18th and Wednesday, November 19th from 3:45 - 7:30PM. Thank you for using the link to book your conferences. If you have not booked yet, please call the school (306-791-1785) and we can help get it scheduled as the conference manager closes today. We strongly encourage families to attend conferences in person, as it makes communication and collaboration easier. However, we completely understand if you are unable to join us in person and will gladly accommodate a virtual meeting if needed.
· Dress for the weather - As we move through the fall season, the weather can be unpredictable with chilly mornings, rainy and windy days. To ensure your child stays warm and comfortable during outdoor recess, please send them dressed appropriately each day. Warm layers, jackets, mitts, and toques are especially important.
- Edsby and Seesaw – Our staff will all be using two platforms for communication this school year. Edsby is the platform where you will be able to see updates on your child’s assessment throughout the school year. This is also where you will view your child’s progress reports in January and June. Our school calendar and office newsletters can also be found on Edsby. Edsby is also used for communication and your child’s learning portfolio for Gr. 4-8 students.
Kindergarten-Gr.3 will be using Seesaw for communication and your child’s learning portfolio. Your child’s classroom teacher will be sending home a unique code for each student to connect to Seesaw. Seesaw is a convenient app that you can access easily from a cell phone. You can communicate with your child’s teacher through the app as well if needed. Please get connected with these two important apps as soon as possible to ensure that you can get all the information you need to be engaged with your child’s education this school year. If you are having any difficulty getting connected to Edsby or Seesaw, please call the office at 306-791-1785.
