A message from Student Services (Mme Plante)

Dear DTS students,

Wow, this is quite a change! I would love to hear from you. I want to know how you are doing. Whether it’s to give me a quick update or to have a conversation, I want you to know, I am here to support you. We can communicate by email.  This is for all students; this is a safe space where you can talk and express yourself. I will do my best to support you in any way I can. maplante@cbe.ab.ca

From Strickland
Please look for a D2L shell to become live on Tuesday morning. If you have any questions, or would like to share a fun story with me, please fire me an email! I cannot wait to start this next adventure together!

Science

If you have any unfinished assignments that you've finished up then you will be able to submit that to me once I get everything set up next week. Your new school learning assignments will be available on D2L by Monday, April 6th.

Note: I will be available to ask questions about your assignments 
every Tuesday from 10am to 10:30am. 

Mr. Davis

7 Science

1)      Assignments for Mr. Davis should be on D2L by the evening of Monday, April 6^th, and every Monday thereafter. Go to D2L for this class, read the assignment and get started on it. (Note: more information about how to submit your typed, written or other work will be coming at a later date, so please don’t send me an email about this.)

2)      Please read the Google Meet guidelines that have (or will be) posted in your D2L class.

3)      Mr. Davis - Google Meet science gr.7/8 every Tuesday at 10:00-10:30am

This meet time is to ask further questions about the assignment, to get extra help or ask questions. The expectation is that you will have already read and started the assignment before the meet up.

4)      Understand that it will take a week or two to get everything sorted. Please regularly read the blog and check D2L. We recognize that it is new for everyone – the teachers included, so we expect it to take some time before everything is working for everyone, and things are going smoothly, so please remain calm and be patient.

5)      If the D2L assignment requires reading and you have challenges with reading, then you should be using some software such as Google Read & Write to help you. If you need assistance with this then contact one of your teachers.

I look forward to hearing/seeing you all in the near future. Take care,

Mr. Davis
