Message from Superintendent Mark Donovan regarding RED Level Of Covid Recovery.

This document outlines the outcomes for the "Health" portion of the Personal Wellness course offered to students in grades 6 to 8. Grade 8 students will have a paper copy of this letter to bring home. As a parent/guardian, if you have questions or concerns, please reach out to Mr. Theriault (523-7970 or gregory.theriault@nbed.nb.ca) to discuss options

Dear Parents and Guardians:

Please see the message below and the attached file for infromation on Term 1 report cards. Parent teacher interviews will be "virtual" for Term 1. Please take note of the following important dates:

Curriculum and Assessment:

The Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (EECD) worked with educators in the summer of 2020 to choose the most important outcomes for learning, knowing teaching would look different this year. Report cards will also reflect some change, with the fall report card going out at the usual time this year. Please see the attached “Reporting and Learning” document(s) and reach out to your child’s teacher or principal if you have any questions about the report card.

Social Emotional Learning/ Guidance and Mental Health:

Guidance counsellors are now able to connect with students and families using the secure platform of Microsoft Office Teams. Microsoft Teams opens the possibility for both video and audio connections with students who have an account. Please reach out to your school counsellor for more information.

In addition to what school guidance counsellors offer, the World of Wisdom platform provides students access to a certified career development practitioner from the New Brunswick Career Development Association (NBCDA). This service is available to virtually support students as they explore their preferred future.

Dear Parents and guardians,

This is Greg Theriault, principal of EWGMS with a few notices for parents.

1.       Demographic forms will be going home with students very soon. When they arrive at home, It is very important to provide up-to-date contact numbers and emails if possible.

2.       Please use the home screening tool posted on our website to assess your children before they come to school. If they are exhibiting symptoms such as a cough, sore throat, fever, etc please keep them home.

3.       As is normal procedure during every school year, children complaining of not feeling well will be brought to the office and isolated from the rest of the student population. Their parents will be called and asked to pick up their child. This does not mean that there is a COVID-19 outbreak in the school.

If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to me at the school at 523-7970.

Thank you and have a good evening.
