distribute the fun lunch we would love to have your support. You would be
needed from 12:00 -1:00 on Wednesday January 18<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>. If you have a
current police check and are available please contact Carolyn at the email

connections with other students. Providing a plethora of opportunities for
students and ensuring the tasks we ask students to do are engaging, relevant

The myriad of extracurricular opportunities, field trips and classroom

For the first day, it is a good idea for students to have something to write

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Dear Parents/Guardians:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The end of the year is in sight and students and staff are
beginning to feel the excitement that comes with the impending summer. The
remaining four weeks of school will be devoted to ensuring curriculums have
been covered and significant material reviewed prior to exam week at the end of
the June. Students have had a plethora of opportunities throughout the year to
get involved in a variety of activities at the school. The final athletic club
– Track and Field – wrapped up with MidSun students demonstrating excellent
sportsmanship, work ethic and athletic prowess.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Grade 8 and 9 school bands have recently attended band camp and all
bands are eagerly preparing for their concert on June 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup>. <sup><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></span></sup>School clubs are winding up and final
field trips for the year are taking place. As well, the Spring Carnival is set
for June 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It has been a fantastic year, and as principal I feel very
fortunate to have the opportunity to lead such an amazing community of students
and school staff. I very much appreciate all the support provided by the parent
community, in particular the devoted group who volunteer their time with our
school council.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I have endeavoured to find succinct and effective ways to
communicate with you over the course of my first five months as principal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Calgary Board of Education is introducing
new communication tools in the coming months, so please expect to see a new
look to our website by September. As well, some changes will be made by the
Calgary Board of Education to ensure we are compliant with Canada’s new
anti-spam legislation. More specifics regarding changes to communication will
be provided as we have them. My intent is to continue to provide one page
weekly updates, with longer pieces of communication e-mailed to you when
required. The best way to stay informed with your child’s school is to join the
School Council.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The last meeting of the
year is on June 9, 2016 at 7pm. Everyone is welcome, so we hope to see you
there.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">June can be a stressful time for students as they endeavour
to complete their assigned work and prepare for final exams.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You were all sent a detailed itinerary of
dates and times for the end of June. Knowing what to expect well in advance can
help reduce the stress and anxiety of exams. Also included in the “Year-end Freedom
Guide” were strategies and tips to help students prepare for exams.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We expect all students to prepare for exams
by completing review material provided by teachers and by studying at home. By
putting in the necessary effort, students will be successful and can feel good
about their final assessment of the year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>We will report their final exam mark to you, so you are aware of their
achievement. When it comes to a mark for Term 2, final exams are used as a
final check. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In most cases, the exam
mark will be consistent with a student’s Term 2 mark. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please remember that there is no final mark or
average mark between Terms 1 and 2.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
new assessment protocols at the Calgary Board of Education assess work based on
consistency with more emphasis on recently completed work. Therefore, a child’s
Term 2 mark can be taken as their “final mark”, as it is an assessment of a
child’s achievement at the end of June.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Planning for next year is well underway. Instructional
groups are being made, students are being enrolled in options, teachers are learning
their assignments for next year and communication documents are being prepared.
We endeavour to ensure students are placed into instructional groups that take
their individual learning needs into consideration. Also, we will do a best to ensure
students get the option classes they want for next year as a lot of proactive
work has gone in to ensuring this happens. Please do not expect to know your
child’s instructional group or options classes until the first day of school.
Important dates for next year were included in the Year-end Freedom Guide, will
be included in your child’s report card envelope in June and will be posted on
our school website.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">MidSun School recently had the opportunity to host a special
guest speaker on Tuesday, April 5<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> named Adria Laycraft. Mrs.
Laycraft works as a professional writer, and editor and was able to share some
of the ins and outs of the publishing world with students who self-identified
as budding writers in grades 7, 8, and 9. The presentation was very
informative and students were able to learn how to take their work to the next
level and eventually even get paid for it! We look forward to seeing more
MidSun students get themselves published! Go ahead and write that story,
find that market, follow those submission guidelines, and get published,
Lakers. We believe in you!<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The 2015-2016 school year is moving along quickly and
students are enthusiastically working on a myriad of projects to demonstrate
their learning. It is wonderful to see all the engaged faces as I travel from
class to class. Our students are so very friendly and more than willing to share
their work with me. I continue to be impressed with the high quality of
teaching and know that your children are learning the necessary skills to
ensure success in high school and beyond.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Many of the accomplishments were on display during our Celebration of Learning
in early February.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A big thank you goes
out to Mr. Stretch, his team and MidSun students, for pulling all of the
wonderful projects and demonstrations of learning together into one celebration.
It was great to see how proud our students were of their accomplishments and
how supportive their peers were of their successes. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our school play was a massive success, with students
demonstrating their commitment, enthusiasm and talent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each of the cast members should be very proud
of themselves for presenting a spectacular performance to two sold out audiences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A special thank you to Ms. Smith and the team
of teachers who put in so much time, effort and care to ensure a high quality
production.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In addition, a busy basketball
season has come to an end with all teams experiencing success, learning
valuable skills and having a lot of fun. MidSun players represented their school
very well with their work ethic, sportsmanship and skills.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thank you to coaches Mr. S. Slaughter, Ms. Amirault,
Mrs. D. Slaughter, Mr. Woods, Ms. Miles, Ms. Hill, Ms. Hennebury and Mr.
Moulton for their commitment and leadership.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Similarly, Mr. Campbell and our bands continue to do MidSun proud each
and every time they leave the school to perform. I look forward to hearing more
from all of our bands as the year progresses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Spring Break is fast approaching and the days are finally
getting longer. Students are getting outside at lunch for some fresh air and to
burn off some energy. They will be encouraged to go outside on all nice days
for the remainder of the school year. There are still many opportunities for
your child to become involved in extracurricular activities. Clubs are
continuing and badminton season got under way on March 1<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">For those who have children moving on to high school, please
remember to have your high school registration forms to Ms. Norcross by March 11th.
Should you have questions about your child’s transition to high school, please
contact Ms. Norcross. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As always, we
encourage you and your child to check d2l on a regular basis and for you to ask
your child questions about what they are learning in school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The next set of Parent Teacher Student Conferences
will be held on March 17<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> and 18<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>, but you are welcome

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The process of planning for next year has already begun. Option
sheets will be coming home in the near future. Please ensure these are returned
by the assigned date as we will be using student choice to build the
appropriate number of sections of a course. The process of building classes for
next year will begin in May. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Should you
have specific requests for next year in regards to your child’s class
placement, please contact Mr. Giffen, Mrs. Chatani or Ms. Norcross with an
e-mail prior to the May long weekend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If
your grade 7 or 8 student will not be attending MidSun next year, please let us
know as early possible. We prefer to have next year conversations proactively
to ensure your student has the best possible transition to the next grade. I
look forward to the rest of the school year and getting to better know your
children. Please never hesitate to contact me should you have questions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">January
is moving along quickly as students have settled in nicely after their winter
break.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Staff and students are busily
getting prepared for the fine arts night on the 21<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">st</span></sup> of January and
basketball and other clubs are in full swing. Please remember that report cards
are coming out on the 29<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> of January so you are encouraged to visit
D2L with your child to review their progress. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-CA; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am happy to share that our school will receive extra resources that
will directly contribute to student learning and success. As a result, we will
be adding two additional full-time teachers to further our school’s goal of
improving student achievement as outlined in our School Development Plan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An area of focus that we have identified in
our School Development Plan pertains to providing more intentional literacy and
numeracy support for MidSun students. Beginning January 25<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>, Ms.
Marie Jones will be joining the grade 8 humanities team and Miss Kelsey Bartel
will be joining the grade 7 math and science team.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Further staff changes include Ms. Tatiana
Ryall who will be beginning her maternity leave on Monday, January 18<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ms. Sonia Kernan will be joining the MidSun
staff teaching grade 7, 8 & 9 French and grade 7 & 8 Leadership.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, Ms. Jacqueline Paredes will be joining
the ACCESS class as an education assistant replacing Ms. Lana Flores who has
accepted a job at another CBE school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
will miss those who have left MidSun, but are also looking forward to
everything our new staff members will bring to this wonderful place. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our Winter Carnival was a huge
success thanks to the hard work of so many students, staff and parents. The day
raised over $3500 for our adopt-a-family program. Special thanks for many
donations of prizes, food and discounts making it possible to make such a large
sum in one day for charity. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Thank you to The Filling Station
and the Campbell family for their generous donation and time, Canadian
Wholesale Club, Carnival for Kids at Heart, Fatburger, Opa, and the Steed
family and the Powell family for helping to secure some great prizes. In
addition Robert Richmond from Head to Toe Safety for donating a custom banner
that will be used for our Carnival for many years to come. We are so proud of
our students and their work for charity this holiday season. A challenge was
put forth for student playing at the carnival to put the name Adopt-A-Family
instead of their own name, and it was touching to see just how many tags were
for Adopt-A-Family. This displays the character and generosity of our kids and
as a result, one of the prizes is going to a family. Thanks to the Fish
Creek grade 1 teachers for bringing over their kids to be a special part of our
day.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Congratulations to all the winners
and the students responsible for coordination of the carnival. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">ADOPT A FAMILY has been a huge
success for the families in need this holiday season. Due to the generosity or
our families and the work of our students in the carnival and bake sale, we had
enough money to adopt a fourth family. Special thanks to Superstore in
Shawnessey for their generous donation and discount, Save-On-Foods, Superstore
and Home Depot for all donating gift cards for our families, Bath and
Body Works, Bluenotes and Bootlegger at Southcentre for making our dollars stretch well
beyond our budget! The students are busy wrapping presents as our fitness room
has turned into Santa’s Workshop for a few days. A huge thank you to all of our
MidSun Families for taking 99% of the tags from our Christmas tree and
purchasing gifts for individual family members! The spirit of giving is
definitely in the air </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: Wingdings;">J</span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Happy Holidays Laker Families,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We have a fun week planned for our last week before
Christmas. Wednesday will be Christmas
Sweater day and Friday is Pyjama Day!
The rumours that there was no school on Friday are unfounded…there will
be lots of fun holiday time from December 19-January 3<sup>rd</sup>. First day
back in 2016 will be January 4, 2016.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
January 4<sup>th</sup> will be the first day for Chris
Giffen, our new principal. He has
already been by to meet the staff and attend our last School Council
meeting. He is very excited to get to
know everyone and lead the Lakers in the New Year.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thank you to all who have contributed to the Adopt a Family program. The generosity of our school community is outstanding and three families are sure to have the best Christmas ever because of your big hearts. Our whole fitness room is filled with presents waiting to be delivered this Wednesday. It is a happy place, what joy it is to give. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As Friday is my last day I would like to extend my warm
wished to everyone for a happy holiday and a bright new year. I am excited to keep up with the many great
things that have been going on at MidSun. Things like our home reading program,
Read Theory, Hour of Code, Debate Club, Learning Commons events, Charity
Basketball game and the upcoming basketball season. I will miss the busy and exciting life of
MidSun and the opportunity to work with such amazing staff, students and
parents. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
All the best,<o:p></o:p></div>
