Happy World Teacher's Day & thank you!
These past months have been the hardest ever faced by RVS teachers and support staff!
On a personal level, a big thank you to 2 of my own teachers from when I attended Kathyrn (more than a few moons ago): Herman Kirchmeir/Sonia Kuperis.
Happy Friday, everyone, and thank you to all Rocky View school staff, Education Centre staff, bus drivers, students and parents for making this year's school start-up the best possible - a great testimony to collective hard work, resilience and commitment! @rvsed
Really well done. Some important, positive messaging for the new school year. – at Airdrie, Alberta
You gotta check out this video which is a #peptalk for the upcoming school year. #kidsuperintendent knocks it out of the ballpark. ‘Give each other grace not grief’ and ‘You got this’ are my key takeaways. Just when you hear him say RSD think RVS. youtu.be/a71O90UCF1U #RVSed

Presented this year's Edwin Parr gift to 1st year teacher Emma Uhlenberg. Not quite the celebration we might have wanted in this year of Covid-19 but we are proud of your accomplishments! Thank you for choosing a profession that works so hard on behalf of so many! @GMHSMustangs
ALT Emma seen here with her principal, Laurie Johnston.
A simple yet powerful tweet as we rise above everything happening right now. Thank you staff, students, and parents for your innovation, resilience & determination as we begin the first week of this new kind of learning journey. #rvsd #InnovatorsCAN – at Airdrie, Alberta

Well said! – at Airdrie, Alberta
Time to get ready to move on to the next chapter of this school year. Our new way of teaching and learning starts on Monday. It’s uncharted territory, but together we will make it work. Let’s stay positive, buckle up and enjoy the ride! @ralph_mccall #rvsed @rvata35

Seems like one of the better collections of virtual tour sites and might be good for adults to share with kids. Keep safe and strong. – at Airdrie, Alberta
The fact is, most of us are going to be spending a lot of time at home. Here are some of the most fascinating, immersive concerts, museum tours and other virtual experiences you can explore from the comfort of your own couch. cnn.it/2U6hwWH

AB Ed news release, which provides an overview of how "students will learn while in-school classes are cancelled due to the provincial health emergency." RVS now has the job of determining "how" to best best facilitate these guidelines. bit.ly/33Dt7Qi. .
Social distancing at the Board of Trustees’ meeting. Capital Plan, Kathryn-Beiseker Attendance Consultation and the RVS Covid-19 response all topics of discussion & review. Barring new developments, RVS should be able to provide next steps to parents & staff early next week.

Thanks to the students, parents and staff @Maturner3 @mrchomistek for today’s @rvsed Farm presentation to the Board. Great testimonials, commitment and overview of important, innovative and real-world learning! #InnovatorsCan
Thank you to @michbech1976 , Nancy Cole and the 3 @ralph_mccall elementary students who spoke to the Board today about their APEGA STEAM initiate. Great to see such young “architects of their own learning” finding solutions to community water use! #rvsed #InnovatorsCAN
Deanna and I up early this morning to get the turkey in the oven and things set up for this morning’s brunch later with the “kids” and grandkids when they arrive to open presents. Merry Christmas and best wishes to everyone for the holidays! – at Airdrie, Alberta
