A Few Items…

Parent-Teacher Interviews on Wednesday, November 16th

On November 16th we have set aside a day to meet with each of our families to discuss your child’s progress.  Below is a link for you to sign up for a 15-minute slot.  It is important that we meet with each family for an interview.  If you are unable to meet on the 16th please email me at pgoosen@highroadacademy.com to arrange another time.

IMMIGRATION ASSIGNMENT: This week students were introduced to our newest unit – immigration. Each child has brought home a family immigration page to fill in with you or another family member.

This assignment is meant to give each student an understanding of their own family and for us as a class to see the journey that each of us has taken historically to eventually all end up in Chilliwack together. For many of the students this will be an exciting project and may give some of them a great excuse to call up a grandparent! For others this could be a tricky assignment depending on your family history as an immigrant, Indigenous person, refugee, adoption, etc. If you have any concerns or if there are elements of your family story that you prefer not to share with your child, please feel free to send me an email, pgoosen@highroadacademy.com

Students are more than welcome to share more than one family member’s story but are only required to write up one.

If you need an extra copy, please use the pictures of the assignment below.
