Principal's Message - January 12, 2024

Happy New Year

Dear Hamptons School Families – Happy New Year!  I hope that everyone had some time to relax and enjoy the holiday season and above average temperatures before the frigid weather set in.  We are excited to be back together and continue our learning journey this year.


No School Monday, January 15

A quick reminder that there is no school on Monday, January 15th for students as it is a non-instructional day for staff.


Grade 1 Assessments

The provincial government requires that all Grade 1 students are required to complete literacy and numeracy assessments before January 26. These assessments serve as a tool to gauge students' academic standing and learning challenges arising from the impact of Covid-19. The insights derived from these assessments will play a role in formulating tailored strategies to provide appropriate support for each student's unique needs. If your child is in Grade 1, they have already commenced/finished these assessments. For more detailed information, visit the Alberta Early Years Assessment page.


Report Cards and IPPs Available January 30

Our teachers are currently in the final stages of completing assessments and report cards for the first term. Starting the week of January 30, these report cards will be accessible through the MyCBE portal. To review your child's report card, simply log in to the portal. These reports encapsulate the continuous assessments conducted by our teachers, reflecting their commitment to nurturing the ongoing learning journey of each student.


For students with Individual Program Plans (IPPs), an update will also be provided during this period. If your child has an IPP, we kindly ask you to review the plan, sign the accompanying signature page, and promptly return it to your child's teacher. Your collaboration is invaluable in ensuring a comprehensive and supportive educational experience for your child.


School Council / Fundraising Society

Our next School Council & Fundraising Society meeting will be in person at 6:30 pm, Wednesday January 24th.  We look forward to seeing you there!
