Student Led Learning Walks offer you and your child(ren) an opportunity to glimpse a snapshot of what “writing to communicate and represent” looks like at every grade level across Cranston School with your child as the guide.

Families whose last names begin with A – L  attend on Wed. Oct. 21/15

Families whose last names begin with M – Z attend on  Thu. Oct. 22/15

*While there will be teachers from every grade level present both evenings, not every teacher will be present both evenings. All student work will be on display both evenings.

**If there are families who are getting family photos done on Thursday whose last name begins with A-L, you can choose to come whichever night works best JJ

‪Dear Parents,

We have a new volunteer coordinator named Sarah Axt.  If you would like to volunteer from now on, please email her at SarahAxt46@gmail.com by the end of each month. Please include your child’s name, their color group,and if they are in the AM and PM and she will make a schedule for the kindergarten classes. Even if you can't volunteer right now, please let her know that you would like to be part of her email group for future dates, projects or field trips. Please ensure that you have a security clearance and have completed all the necessary paperwork at the office before you volunteer.

Thank you from your kindergarten team! 

Attention All Cranston Families:

We are in need of 5 more babies, ages 6 months and younger, to participate in our Roots of Empathy program.  If you have family members, friends or neighbors who would be willing to volunteer 45 minutes/month with their babies to the school we would love to talk to them!  Please contact Mrs. Susanne Jones at the office 403-777-6267 ext. '0' for further information or if you would like the school to contact them directly.  Thanks so much!  Roots of Empathy begins in classrooms over the next two weeks and we would love to go forward with a full complement of 14 baby teachers!

Thank you!

Mrs. Kinsman (Principal)

Hello Cranston families,

This week is the start of our annual, extended Digital Citizenship week at Cranston School.  Starting this week and continuing over the next 4 weeks, Mr. McDougall and Mr. Southworth will be doing lessons with each of the classes around Internet safety, including how to protect your identity of the web, and spotting advertising, as students interact with the digital world.  Time will also be spent on using student devices at school. 

On our Digital Citizenship webpage you will find our 'Bring Your Own Device’ (BYOD) letter, school-wide Digital Citizenship plan and classroom Twitter guidelines.  As well, you will find activities and games for kids to play and work through at home.  This is an excellent way for parents to spend quality time with their children while helping to guide them through the digital world.

You will find a link to the Digital Citizenship page at the top of our Cranston School website.

Alternatively, you can also follow this direct link:

Thanks,

Mr. Southworth & Mr. McDougall
