No Paper Agendas Next Year

Next year, we will not be using coiled paper agendas at Beddington Heights School.  Instead, every classroom will use a DIGITAL agenda /blog. You will be able to find your child’s teacher’s agenda / blog by going to our home page, clicking "School Blogs" and then clicking the link for your teacher’s blog. (http://schools.cbe.ab.ca/b372/)

Because paper agendas will no longer be used, it will be extremely important that you check the agenda / blog on a regular basis.  This agenda / blog will inform you of the day-to-day happenings in your child’s classroom. If you have a specific comment or question about your child, you will need to contact the teacher directly. Email addresses will be provided.

This year, our classroom teachers have been using their digital blogs on a weekly basis in preparation for this change.  Please continue to check this blog weekly to help get in the habit of utilizing this digital format.

Cardel Place Healthy Living Challenge: March 22-June 21 2014
What does healthy living mean to you? Cardel Place and local community partners invite you to take part in Calgary’s first Healthy Community Challenge presented by ATB Financial. This at home 90-day challenge (March 24 to June 21) is designed to encourage whole communities to get moving and be healthier in mind, body and spirit through focus on developing positive practices in physical activity, nutrition, hydration, sleep, and social habits.

Prizes will be awarded at the end of the Challenge for both the community and individual(s) who demonstrate the biggest shift in lifestyle (as indicated by point total), however, the greatest rewards received will not be those that can be counted on paper, but those that can be measured in feeling, outlook and attitude.
