We continue to plan for the safe and effective reopening of our schools. We will seek input from parents/guardians & students. Look for a link to our School Reopening Input Survey early next week. The invitation will be shared on EDSBY, our webpages and social media accounts.

Today during our Teams meeting we talked about probability, did 2 experiments and played a game of Multiplication Connect 4 using 2 dice. So nice to connect with students and a great way to end the week! @BegleyBroncos1#mathtalk#distancelearning
I’ve been getting a lot of questions from my non-Black friends about how to be a better ally to Black people. I suggest unlearning and relearning through literature as just one good jumping off point, and have broken up my anti-racist reading list into sections:
Grade 8-9 transition with a credit. With Reach Ahead!
Grade 9-10 learning labs to improve your marks and get ready for next year.
Grade 11-12 a full range of credits in our virtual classrooms. Instruction and support online.

In the last 2 weeks our ESL, LBS and credit programs have re-engaged, supported and continued learning with approx 700 adult learners in our different programs. Thank you for continuing to make AACE such a great learning provider!
There has been a recent announcement from the Minister of Education. Regardless of your mark at midterm, all students must stay engaged with teachers. We need to work together to close the learning gap. Stay Engaged, Embrace Learning, Stay Safe!
