Dear QEHS Families,
It is hard to believe it is November, term 2 has started, and Fall Break will be here next week. I continue to be impressed with our students' focus, achievement, and perseverance in their learning. Progress report cards (for high school) will be ready for viewing on Monday, November 9 in your MyCBE Account. No printed report cards are produced as they can be downloaded through the MyCBE portal. The term 1 report card is a snapshot of your child's learning progress in their high school courses. PowerSchool is the best source of up-to-date information about how your child is progressing in all grades, and we encourage parents to support at home by checking your child's progress on a regular basis. If you have any questions about your child's learning, please contact their teacher.
Since we only have school on Monday and Tuesday next week due to Fall Break, we will not send Knights' Notes out again until November 20. Therefore, I wish to highlight that our next School Council meeting is on Monday, November 16. Parent/Caregiver voice in our school's community is valued and we hope to continue to see the great support we had at our September meeting. The meeting is held in person in our Learning Commons or online (see link below).
Wishing you a wonderful weekend and a restful Fall Break next week.
Take care,
Jennifer Edmondson-Neily
Principal
