October 5th Weekly Update
This month we will be highlighting the Montessori tenet of community and belonging. We believe in shared responsibility of students at Lake Bonavista School. Our school culture reflects students being our primary priority. Students have opportunities to learn alongside and collaborate with various adults both inside and outside of the school walls. We use proactive approaches to support the success, development, and learning of all students through fostering effective relationships with teachers, school staff, and experts. We intentionally create opportunities to foster belonging in our community.
Thank you to our volunteers who supported us with photo day! The day was so smooth and we couldn’t have done it without your help.
Child and Youth Well-Being: A Webinar Series for Parents and Guardians
The Calgary Board of Education invites all parents and guardians to join us in an online series focusing on child and youth well-being. These sessions will be hosted in partnership with experts from Alberta Health Services and will explore topics such as vaping, brain development, mental health, and sexual health. Click here for more information.
CBE educators believe that parents and guardians can inspire their kids to make healthy lifestyle choices and increase protective factors – in order to do so, they need the right tools and information. Well-being is a precondition for learning. As our understanding of student well-being continues to evolve, it is important for those that support children and youth to stay up to date on the same information so everyone can support student success.
The intention of the series is to advance student well-being by raising family and caregiver’s understanding of a variety of health-related topics.
