Greetings

The last week of school before the Winter Break is upon us. I would like to take this opportunity to let our Scorpions know that their hard work, accomplishments, and resilience has been noticed and appreciated. I am looking forward to seeing what students achieve in the New Year.

 

To our Scorpion families, I am so grateful and proud of the work we have done together to support teaching and learning. I hope you are able to connect with your child(ren) in positive and engaging ways over the break. If you require access to food resources during the break, please visit the Calgary Food Map.

 

Whichever holiday you celebrate, please accept my best wishes for a Winter Break filled with love, laughter and moments that bring you joy. I hope you are able to take time to relax, recharge, and connect with family and friends.

 

Wishing you good health and the hope that 2024 is an amazing year for our Sansom community. 

Reminder| Off-Campus

Students and families are strongly encouraged to have discussions regarding staying on-campus at lunch. There are many opportunities for students to positively engage in activities such as intramurals, clubs, and school wide initiatives. Sansom also has a fully functioning cafeteria and emergency food supplies. With all of these supports, there are no reasons students need to go off campus and risk getting into trouble or coming back to school late.

Inform| Staffing News

Thank you to Andrea Romic who is off on maternity leave for the remainder of the year. A huge welcome to Kristy Jaenen who has joined the Sansom team!

Reminder| Attendance 

When your child is late or absent from school, for any reason, please call the attendance line (403 777-7700) which is open 24/7.  It is important to provide the reason for absence, your child’s homeroom and any other pertinent information. If you prefer not to specify the reason, a call is still required to indicate that your child will not be at school. Your attention to this request significantly reduces the time spent by our office staff calling home to ensure student safety and inquire into your child’s absence.
