Hello Robina Families,
It's hard to believe that we are nearing the end of October! Our students and staff have been very busy and there is lots of great learning happening in all of the classrooms. Remember to check out your child's teacher's blog to see regular classroom updates. Can't remember how to get to your teacher's blog?? Go to our website: http://rbes.blackgold.ca/; click on the About tab and then click on Staff Contacts / Blogs -- this will take you to a page with direct email and blog links for each of our teachers.
Bus Safety:
You might have heard your child talking about bus safety this past week. All students at Robina Baker participated in Bus Safety. The program started with interactive games and discussions in the classroom, followed by some real practice on the big yellow bus! This was valuable learning for all of our students, regardless if they ride the bus regularly or not. Besides learning how to be safe on the bus, they learned how to be safe when seeing a bus on the road. Our students were excellent learners -- congrats to you all on a job well done!
Throughout the year, teachers and support staff participate in Professional Development days. We feel it is important for us to share with our families some of the learning that happens during these days. Most of our teaching staff attended sessions on curriculum mapping. These sessions allowed teachers to dissect the Alberta Education curriculum and make plans for their classrooms. Teachers also had the opportunity to showcase some of the great resources they are using with other teachers within our district. Other sessions included: Google apps training, Non-Violent Crisis Intervention, and round table discussions. We had a great day connecting with other teachers and support staff in our district!
Just a reminder that as the weather gets colder, we need our students to bring and wear all the items that will keep them warm at recess.

With Halloween just around the corner, we are starting to get a number of inquiries about costumes and appropriate choices for young children. Our youngest students are age 3 and our oldest are 10 years old. Please keep in mind that a number of our children are frightened by some of the gory/scary/trendy costumes that are out there. WE are asking that the following guidelines be followed:
NO:
- No missing body parts
- No bloody masks or overly significant bloody makeup
- No weapons
- No Clowns like the one that is popular right now from the movie IT
YES:
