Principal’s Message - March 18, 2020
Dear Parents,
As per Alberta Chief Medical Officer of Health Deena Hinshaw’s recommendations, Alberta Education has now suspended classes at all Alberta schools indefinitely.
As you are aware, regular classes in St. Augustine School are suspended, no buses will be running and all students should stay at home.
Though we do not know how long classes will be suspended, we want to provide opportunities for students to pick up their personal belongings. Pick up of materials will begin on Thursday, March 19. Please adhere to the instructions linked here to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
As a school, we will begin delivering education to our students in a new way and format. We wish to confirm that we will begin this process on April 2, 2020
On April 2, 2020, students and families can expect to start receiving course materials, content, and instructions. It is important to note that this work is to be completed as if the student were in school and that the work will be evaluated by the teacher.
The Minister of Education has made it clear that this interruption of classes will not impact progression of students to the next grade or graduation of our Grade 12 students.
During this new reality we will obviously encounter unforeseen challenges. We will endeavor to work with students and families to solve these challenges, with the goal of student success in every instance.
Thank you for your support and patience during these challenging times.
We are awaiting direction with how to proceed with fee refunds.
Please call the office at 403.704.1155 should you have any questions. Again, thank you for your cooperation and collaboration!
Blessings,
Kari Davidson, Acting Principal
