Principal's Message

Please see the message below, that was sent to you from Mrs. Taylor:

Dear Parents of Le Roi Daniels,

First of all, I would like to thank each of you who were able to come and drive by for the reverse parade!  It was fantastic to see so many wonderful faces and see how much the students have grown in these past months!!

Secondly, your child's report card should now be accessible online in your Power School account. Please refer to last week's update for instructions on how to find your child's report cards.

Please remember to complete the following tasks over the next few weeks:

- Noon Supervision - if your child is eating lunch at school, you must register for this between August 1-31 on your Power School account

- please have your uniforms ordered and ready from McCarthy  www.mccarthyuniforms.ca  for the first day of school

Finally, please read in detail the immediate request for Transportation registration as it has bus stops and ridership has changed due to Covid - you MUST register to receive the email letting you know where your child will get on/off the bus.  It will NOT be posted on any website.  PLEASE REGISTER!!!

1. Transportation Pre-Reg. Deadline Now June 30  - if you don’t register; you will not have a stop designated to you!!

As we prepare for re-entry in September and make plans that include health guidelines and physical distancing requirements for busing, it is critical that families pre-register for transportation service as soon as possible.

The transportation pre-registration deadline has been extended to June 30, 2020.

Transportation pre-registration deadline extended
Due to the impact of COVID-19 on our system and families, the transportation pre-registration deadline has been extended to June 30, 2020. This year, routes will not be publicly posted on our website as adhering to COVID-19 guidelines means we will have to assign each student to a bus and a bus stop.
Reasons to pre-register:
• If families do not pre-register for transportation service prior to the end of June, their address will not be included as bus routes are planned meaning no transportation will be available. Only registered students will receive stop information for their primary address.  It may take several weeks to add a student to a route in the fall, and congregated stop locations are only reviewed once per year. As a result, your stop location may be much further away from your home, as your address was not included in the route planning.
• The use of a ZPass ridership card is mandatory to assist in contact tracing, and only registered riders are provided a ZPass ridership card.  Families may request a replacement card through their PowerSchool Parent Account.  (If you child still has their bus pass from last year, please keep it and attach it to their backpack for the first day of school).  If you have lost your card, please order a new one by June 30 to request a new one!.  If you have never used school bus services, please note that the cards will delivered to the school in the Fall.
• There is no requirement to pay at the time of registration, and there is no financial penalty if you register for bus service and cancel before the cancellation deadline of September 30, 2020.

Thank you so much for completing these tasks in a timely manner to set us up for success in the Fall.

I will provide one more update on June 30 (the last official day of school) and then you will not hear from me again until after the August 1 announcements from the Minister of Education.

Sincerely,

Andrea Taylor - Principal

Farewell Parade!

We, as teachers, look forward to seeing you all and waving goodbye from afar at our "reverse parade" tomorrow (Tuesday)! Your teachers will be lined up outside the school to see you all as you drive (slowly) down the roads surrounding the school. As you drive by, you will start near the portables, where the support staff will be, then the Kindergarten teachers and then the grade 1 teachers. After turning the corner, next you will see the grade 2 teachers, then the grade 3 teachers, followed by the Specialists. If you have anything to drop off for your child's teacher, pull into the Fairview parking lot, where Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Hoye will direct you to where you can leave it.

Please plan to arrive to drive around the school at your designated time- you may drive around as many times as you wish:
10:30-10:50 - students with last name beginning with A-G
10:50-11:10 - students with last name beginning with H-P
11:10-11:30 - students with last name beginning with Q-Z

I look forward to seeing everyone and I wish you all a happy and safe summer!

Bonjour mes amis!

J'ai une blague pour vous-autres aujourd'hui:

Bonne journee!

Vous me manquez!

I miss you all! I hope you are all doing well and getting along okay with your at-home learning. I miss seeing all your faces regularly and hearing about what you are doing.

Here's a riddle for you:
When things go wrong, what can you always count on?

Don't forget, you can check out the Optional Activities tab if you are looking for some extra things to fill your time. If you do them, I'd love to see the finished products! Send them to eemacdonald@cbe.ab.ca

Riddle answer: Your fingers!

Bonjour mes amis!

Hello my friends! I hope you are all doing well and keeping busy while at home. I am so excited to talk to the other teachers and hear about what you are all working on with at-home learning.

I will be posting specific activities that you can do to keep up with the French language while at home. These activities are entirely OPTIONAL. They are meant to be another way to keep engaged in the school community and keep busy; they are not assigned tasks and are not required to be completed or sent in. If you would like to share your work, feel free to send them to me at eemacdonald@cbe.ab.ca

Check out the "Optional Activities" tab to find activities for each grade level.

Welcome back!

Welcome back to LRD at-home learning! We, as teachers, are very excited to continue learning and growing with all of you during this time. I ask that you refer to your child's homeroom teacher's classroom website for updates and instructions.
This site will remain as a resource to keep up-to-date with the French language and for students to practice skills and vocabulary they have already learned in class. Any French activities that you choose to participate in are completely optional as we are focusing on language/literacy and math/numeracy during at-home learning.

Stay safe, wash your hands, and reach out if you need support.

School Closures

Please see the Le Roi Daniels homepage for updates and information regarding school closures.


If you are worried about how to support your child's French education because you do not know the language, try having your child teach you what we have learned in class! Teaching others is proven as an effective means of solidifying new concepts for years to come.
