ASBA's 2022 Fall General Meeting kicked off on November 20th hosting an evening with its Awards Celebration! Time was taken to recognize outstanding first-year teachers, community partners and school boards who have made notable contributions to public education in Alberta. The Board of Trustees will be in attendance at the ASBA 2022 Fall General Meeting participating in the Business meeting and professional development opportunities.

The Living Waters Board of Trustees attended the 2022 ACSTA AGM and Convention. The theme for the convention is “Walking Together in Catholic Education”. On the first evening of the event they had the opportunity to listen to a panel of presenters who shared their thoughts and reflections about “Walking Together in Catholic Education”. Publicly funded Catholic Education is truly a gift and blessing that we are all grateful for.

November 11th is Remembrance Day. By remembering, we pay tribute to members of the Canadian Armed Forces and RCMP who served to defend our values and freedoms. We also honour those who continue to serve our country today. In creating a better tomorrow, we pray for peace in our homes, our communities, across the country and the world.

Representatives from each school are completing SIOP (Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol) training to support English Language Learners in our schools. The training consists of four days of professional development where participants learn about strategies that can have a positive impact on achievement as well as the acquisition of language. Stephanie Dodyk, from the Edmonton Regional Learning Consortium, is leading the training. We have worked with Stephanie over the last school year to enhance our repertoire of strategies for supporting ELL students in our classrooms and schools.
