Hello YouLearn.ca students:
Welcome to our very last month of the 2010-2011 school year! The time has gone so quickly and it is hard to believe that it is almost summer (though the weather has certainly not given us too many hints that it is coming!).
At this time of the year, there are often changes in the wind for staff members or students who head off to new and different places, jobs, or careers. With my children and grand-children’s blessing, I have decided to retire as of the end of July. I have had a wonderful school career with School District 53, teaching for more then 20 years in a number of schools in our district. The last 4 1/2 years have been with Outreach and the Learning Centres, and what an exciting time that has been! I have met so many wonderful people and learned so much!! Thank you.
However, the good news is that Caroline Pennelli, our Vice Principal, has been appointed Principal of YouLearn.ca! The staff and I are thrilled about this and know that she will do a wonderful job. Caroline has been very active at the Oliver Learning Centre for the last two years. She brings many skills to her assignment, including being an authoress! Ask her about this sometime!
We are also in the throws of postings and applications for a new Vice Principal and look forward to introducing him/her to you before the end of the school year.
Now, a few items of housekeeping:
Registration information: we are registering students for 2011-2012 school year now, so please do see the secretaries at each site so that you can join us early in September. Don’t forget about the computer classes that are available too!
Provincial exams have been scheduled for June 21 – 29th. They will be offered in several locations, so if you are one of the students writing these exams, please check with your teacher to confirm time and location.
We still have a number of activities happening at the different sites. Please check the list below of upcoming events so that you don’t miss them! Also, please remember that computer classes are now being scheduled for the Fall… so do check in with the secretaries and sign up!
