Parents, guardians, students and staff,

You are the major stakeholders in our system and we want to learn about your
experiences in both our schools and our Division.

Thoughtexchange is an online learning tool that allows us to reach out to everyone affected by the decisions made in our Division. This exchange
enables us to hear your thoughts and learn about your priorities to guide us in
creating a renewed strategic plan for 2019 and beyond.

You will be invited to anonymously and safely participate in an exchange that
flows three steps:
1. Share – answer open-ended questions about education in our schools
2. Star – review ideas from others and rate the ideas you like best
3. Discover – learn what is important to the community as a whole

In a couple of weeks, you will receive an email with an invitation to participate.
The information will also be posted on school and division websites. The
exchange will be open from November 20th – 30th.

Thank you in advance for your participation. We look forward to hearing your
thoughts!

Sean Chase
Director of Education

Tickets available HERE.

Good evening Grade 9 parents/guardians,

Please take a moment to read through this letter.  It is in regards to a depression awareness and suicide prevention program that will be taught to all grade 9 students at Vanier.  Please read over the information and familiarize yourself with our goals of participating in this program.

This letter serves as a passive consent form acknowledging your son’s or daughter’s participation.  Should you wish for your child to not participate, please fill out the exemption at the bottom of the letter and return it to the school.

Should you have questions, a parent information night is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 10 from 6:30-7:30pm in the Vanier library.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hello parents/guardians!  First off, I apologize for the lack of communication to start the school year.  We have transitioned to a new messaging system that has taken me a while to figure out.

We have had a great start to the 2018-19 school year!  There are a few items that I would like to share with you:

1) Please take a moment to read through the HTCSD Fair Notice Brochure…we ensure that student safety is a primary focus in our school and school division.
2) If your family is interested in purchasing student accident insurance, please click HERE for more information.
3) Grade 11 & 12 families – please take a moment to look through the following links: 2018-2019 Career Event Booklet and Remind. More information from Ms. Lapointe is available HERE.
4) Grade 9 families – last year all grade 9 students in the city of Moose Jaw participated in a depression awareness and suicide prevention program.  We will be continuing the initiative this school year.  We are planning an information night on Wednesday, October 10 @ 6:30pm in the Vanier Library.  We will send out more information and a reminder about the meeting next week.

That is all for now…do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.  Please visit our website at vanier.htcsd.ca for updated information.

Hello Parent(s)/Guardian(s):

There are many opportunities out there for your child to start exploring careers, programs and employment opportunities.  I wanted to provide you with the 2018-2019 Career Event Booklet and information on how to sign up for Remind. Remind is a tool I use to send out scholarship, career, tours and a variety of other career information.  Please feel free to join as well, while encouraging your child to do so.

I plan on booking individual appointments with every grade 12 student before December to see if any assistance is needed in applying to post-secondary, scholarships, SAT/ACTS, or career inventories, among many other things. I also encourage all grade 12’s and parents to become familiar with vanier.htcsd.ca/pursueonline.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, christa.lapointe@htcsd.ca.

Have a good week,
Christa Lapointe
