Celebration of Student Learning / March 9 & 10 Booking

Dalhousie will host an in-person Celebration of Student Learning for our Grades 1-5 on March 9 from 5pm to 8 pm & March 10 from 9am to 1pm.    This is an opportunity for our students and your child to demonstrate to their families what they are learning, what they have mastered and what they are still working in their classroom environment.  The purpose is that the student is the guide and facilitator, with their family being the authentic audience.  Having this audience provides a sense of purpose and pride for our students to show their growth and learning.  This is a intentional experience which allows students to reflect on their learning journey as well for families to celebrate.   Families will book a hour block of time where students will take them through their learning in English, Spanish, Math and Music as a base. Four families will be able to book per hour block. Families are asked to make arrangements for the care of siblings so that they can focus on their child for that time and so that there are no distractions for other families.  It is important to remember that the student is the facilitator.  While teachers will be in the classroom to help support, it is not an opportunity for a parent teacher interview.    Given that multiple families will be in the space at the same time, teachers will not be in a position to answer individual questions regarding a student and will redirect you to your child.  For our Kindergarten families only, as there was no January report card, families will instead meet with their child’s teacher to discuss student progress, achievement and learning in a pre-booked 15 minute block.   Bookings will open on February 27 at 10am and will close on March 8 at 4pm.  After that time, please book through the office.   You can book through your MyCBE account.  If you need help with this, please call 403.777.6030 or email dalhousie@cbe.ab.ca.
