Although we can’t hold the traditional grad street painting this year with all of grads at the same time, we would like to offer the opportunity for graduates to participate in smaller groups!
Details:
The school reserves the right to adjust these plans as necessary, based on updates and changes to the Orders from the Provincial Health Officer.
The Minister of Education, Rob Fleming has announced that schools will be returning to in-person instruction on a voluntary part-time basis beginning Monday, June 1st, with secondary students having the option to attend once per week.
This is an invitation only, and not mandated or required.
Only students that have said that they would like to return to school in the district survey, or have scheduled a support session with a staff member, will be permitted on school premises or allowed to ride the bus.
Please contact the office if you would like to return to the school. (250) 832-2188.
For information related to bus transportation, contact (250) 832-9415.
School will not look like it did before the pandemic. The day will be split in half, with morning pre-scheduled Tutorial sessions, and afternoon Home Learning Opportunities.
Students wanting to come back will be scheduled one day per week using the following schedule (this includes bussing):
| Day of the week: | Last name starting with: |
| Mondays | A to F |
| Tuesdays | G to L |
| Wednesdays | M to R |
| Thursdays | S to Z |
| Fridays | Pre-scheduled Tutorials only |
The morning Tutorial sessions will involve teachers assisting and supporting students with the work that has been already taught or assigned through the Home Learning Opportunities. Students will be required to pre-register for these Tutorial sessions with their classroom teacher. Tutorials will have up to 15 students (or 50% of the maximum class size) scheduled during each session, as managed by the teacher.
The schedule for Tutorial sessions to be organized by teachers will take place Mondays thru Thursday:
There will be a lunch break from 12:30 – 1:15pm. Students will be required to leave the building, and sign-out at the main entrance.
The afternoon Home Learning Opportunities will follow this rotation:
| Mondays | Tuesdays | Wednesdays | Thursdays | Fridays | |
| 1:15 – 2:15pm | Block C | Block A | Block D | Block B | No scheduled classes. |
| 2:30 – 3:30pm | Block D | Block B | Block C | Block A |
Students indicating they would like to remain onsite during the afternoon Home Learning Opportunities, will be required to report to the library or the computer lab in room 261. These areas will be supervised by non-enrolling teachers and CEA’s. Please note: students on a study block and wanting to remain at the school, are to report to the library.
Good afternoon SAS families,
We hope this email finds you and your family safe and healthy. These truly are extraordinary times. We are hopeful you have received and read over the letter from the district, explaining what ‘Learning from Home’ will look like moving forward.
Here is a link: https://sd83.bc.ca/2020/03/30/what-will-learning-from-home-look-like/
At SAS, our teachers have been assigned to a group of students to contact this week. These conversation will be to check in, and to gather important information our school and district requires for planning purposes.
You can expect a phone call during one of these time slots:
If teachers cannot reach you, they will attempt to leave a message and call you back at another time. Please note, because of the technology we are using, your call display may show “No Caller ID” or “Private Caller”.
We know many of you have questions related to course work, assessment, graduation, scholarships, and access to the school… to name just a few. Please be patient as we develop and implement plans for our new reality. We will continue to use our website to post general information. You can also expect to receive phone calls or emails when we have important updates or specific information to share.
Take care and we will remain in touch.
Sincerely,
Rob & Deanna
