Please continue to check PowerSchool for comments and marks on recent assignments/tests or for things that have been handed in late.

The Calgary Board has been setting up material for parent and teacher online use and learning. A reminder that khanacademy.org is a world renowned and CBE approved website for learning math. Khan Academy also has learning in other subjects. Students or parents can (thought they don't have to) set up an account on there to track student progress. There are a wide assortment of math lessons, quizzes and tests to help students learn and track their progress. I'd also remind students that knowing your times tables and being able to recall them quickly, is a very important skill and one that high school teachers see as fundamental for a student to be successful. In other words - practice your times tables! Parents/guardians also teach your child strategies that can be used when a child does not have the times table memorized.

For science, I want to remind students that there are a lot of fun and educational science YouTube channels available.
ASAP Science

Many successful science channels have developed sister channels as spin offs.
