Online Learning Update

Thank you to those who joined us for our Google Meet last Thursday. It was great to see all your smiling faces and get to talk with you.

D2L (https://d2l.cbe.ab.ca/d2l/loginh/) is now live!

Hi Grade 6 families,

Please keep an eye out for an email from me this afternoon outlining some of the next steps for learning adventures. We will also be phoning families over the next couple of days to check in and respond to any questions from the email. You need to know that you are missed at school but we are really excited about what lies ahead for us, and we will be sharing details with you through this coming week.

Sincerely,
Ms. Pearson and Mrs. Ernst
