Since the suspension of classes was announced March 20, Light of Christ Catholic Schools staff have been missing their students and working to stay connected with students and their families, according to a press release.
John Paul II Collegiate vice-principal and English language arts teacher, Tracie Harty, packed her own children into the car and then took time Thursday, March 26 to see her other “kids,” the release states.
Mrs. Harty used Includer and communication strengths on a travelling tour to do drive-by waves to students who were available. Each day, during the suspension of classes, students are given a challenge. Their daily challenge, as . Harty arrived, was to do something entertaining on their front steps.
“As always my students amazed me,” Harty says, “but the best part was seeing their smiles and that they were doing OK. I miss them. They’re my other “kids,” and I hope that we will still have time to be able to reconvene live at 12:47 p.m. soon.”
The release indicates Light of Christ Catholic Schools wants everyone to work towards identifying and maximizing their individual talents and strengths to improve relationships and culture throughout the division. Although classes have not resumed in schools, students will be provided with every opportunity to access course/class materials and continue to move forward with their learning.
Light of Christ Catholic Schools is committed to providing all students an opportunity to learn and to support well-being, according to the release.
Updates for Light of Christ Catholic Schools families during face-to-face class suspension will be sent through PowerSchool and will be posted on school and division websites and Facebook pages.
