Please see the following email, shared earlier this evening: 

Good evening,

Just a few updates on our school and classroom to share with everyone. First, picture day is coming! Lifetouch will be here to take our fall photos on Wednesday, October 2nd. Students are bringing home order forms in the student agendas today for those that wish to purchase photos. Photos can also be purchased online both before and after picture day using our Picture Day ID: QI049011Y0. Payment (ie. cash, money order, or cheque - made payable to Lifetouch Canada) can be returned to school in the student agenda along with the completed order forms. Parents/guardians purchasing photos online do not need to complete or return the order forms to school. 

Second, students brought home information regarding the Grade 3 Student Learning Assessment (SLA) today. This assessment is based on literacy and numeracy outcomes from Alberta's Grade 2 program of studies and is meant to enable parents/guardians and teachers to identify student strengths and areas for growth at the beginning of the school year. The purpose is to use this information to enhance planning/instruction so as to improve student learning. The assessment consists of both digital questions (to be marked by Alberta Education) and performance tasks (to be marked locally) for both literacy and numeracy. Your student does not need to study for this assessment. Students will be completing portions of the assessment periodically until October 7th. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns in regards to any of the above,  

- Ashley Barrington, Grade 3 Teacher
