At iadapt.ca, we believe every immigrant deserves to thrive in their new home. That's why we've created a platform that offers precise mapping tools to help you find the perfect neighborhood, AI realtors to make the home buying process easier, and relevant information to help you navigate life in a new country.
I would like to thank all of our students, staff and families for the work they have done over the past few weeks to adjust to the new health measures in place in our schools.
我想感谢我们所有的学生、员工和家庭，在过去几周里为适应我们学校实施的新健康措施所做的工作。
亲爱的 CBE 家庭
我想要感谢所有的学生、教职员工和家庭在过去几周中为适应我们学校中新的健康措施所做的努力。我也要对参与在线学习的教职员工、家庭和学生的工作表示认可。这是一个充满挑战的时期，我为整个社区为支持学生的持续学习和福祉所做出的努力感到骄傲。
随着天气逐渐变冷，遵守健康规定变得比以往任何时候都更加重要，如果感到身体不适，每个人都应呆在家里。我也想提醒您一些重要的系统事项和最新的 COVID-19 信息。
10 月 8 日，卫生局长 Hinshaw 博士宣布，阿尔伯塔卫生服务将试行一种新的方式，通过电子邮件而不是电话通知家长学校中的密切接触者。这将使卫生机构能够更及时地通知家长，并提供详细的书面指示，让家长了解下一步应该做什么。
请确保您的学校有您最新的电子邮件地址。我们还建议您订阅接收学校发送的所有 SchoolMessenger 通知。请访问www.cbe.ab.ca/subscribe 获取更多信息。非常重要的是，每个家庭都定期检查这些重要的电子邮件。
在我们的学校中，从幼儿园到 12 年级的所有学生都必须戴口罩，但也有一些例外情况。如果学生忘记带自己的口罩而学校不得不提供一次性口罩，这对学校来说是很昂贵的，也会减少可用于教育目的的资金。请确保您的孩子每天至少带一只口罩到学校。
学生继续保护彼此和整个社区的重要性是不可忽视的，无论是在学校还是离开学校。提醒您的孩子一旦他们离开学校，他们应该尽量保持社交距离，并在无法保持社交距离时戴口罩。
有许多 CBE 和阿尔伯塔卫生部提供的资源可帮助家庭了解孩子生病时他们需要做什么，包括何时需要隔离，何时需要进行检测，需要在家休息多久以及何时可以返回学校。请查看我们网站上关于如果学生生病或出现 COVID-19 症状的新页面。
在该页面上，您还可以找到与阿尔伯塔省相关的资源链接：如果学生出现症状 和 病后返校。
我们还创建了一个网页来跟踪我们学校通知的正面病例。该网页链接到省级疫情地图，可跟踪学校中的省级爆发情况（学校中有两个或更多的病例）。
由于 COVID-19 疫情持续影响，CBE 将不会在 2020-21 学年进行 6 年级和 9 年级的省级成绩测试。在 Alberta Education 和阿尔伯塔卫生不断演变的年份，我们认为这是正确的决定。
教师们将继续专注于传授所有课程的学习内容，并根据阿尔伯塔省确定的年级水准成果评估学生的成绩。
阿尔伯塔教育部于 10 月 13 日通知各学校委员会，2020 年 10 月/11 月的文凭考试对某些学生来说是可选的，是否参加考试的决定由学生和家长决定。但是，计划在 1 月、4 月或 6 月举行的文凭考试仍然是强制性的。
只有目前正在接受文凭课程的学生才能申请免考，并且将在第一季度（9 月至 11 月）的课程中获得学校授予的成绩。在 2020-21 学年之前修读过文凭课程的学生必须继续参加 11 月的考试，但是他们可以选择推迟考试，时间可选择 1 月、4 月或 6 月。如果他们决定推迟考试，必须在本周末之前通知学校。
今年由于学校中 COVID-19 的协议措施，学校委员会和家长筹款协会的会议和活动受到影响。我们在我们的网站上发布了新的指南。
从2020年10月1日开始，您的MyCBE/PowerSchool账户上将会出现费用信息。费用要在出现在您的账户时缴纳。CBE正在推出一个新的学生用品费，适用于幼儿园至9年级的所有学生（不包括在线学习的HUB学生），以帮助抵消购买全年学校用品的成本。有关更多信息，请访问费用和减免网页。
如果您对您的孩子或他们的学习有任何问题，请随时与您孩子的老师或您的学校联系。
谨此祝好，
Christopher Usih
学校首席总监
Dear CBE Families
I would like to thank all of our students, staff and families for the work they have done over the past few weeks to adjust to the new health measures in place in our schools. I would also like to acknowledge the work of staff, families and students who are participating in online Hub learning. This has been a challenging time, and I am proud of the way the entire community has come together to support the ongoing learning and well-being of our students.
As the weather starts to become colder, it will be more important than ever to be mindful of the health regulations and for everyone to stay home if they are feeling unwell. I would also like to provide you with some important system reminders and updated COVID-19 information.
On Oct. 8, Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Hinshaw announced that Alberta Health Services will begin trialing a new way of notifying parents of close contacts in schools through email instead of by phone. This will allow AHS to provide more immediate notice and give detailed written instructions to parents on next steps.
Please ensure your school has your most up-to-date email address on file. We also recommend you subscribe to receive all SchoolMessenger notices from your school. Visit
www.cbe.ab.ca/subscribe for more information.
It will be important for all families to regularly check for these important emails.
Masks are mandatory in our schools for all students from kindergarten to Grade 12, with a few exceptions. It is costly for our schools to provide disposable masks if students forget to bring their own masks and reduces funding available to be used for educational purposes. Please make sure your child brings at least one mask to school each day.
It is also important that students continue to protect each other and the community as a whole both on and off school property. Remind your child that once they have left school, they should still observe physical distancing where possible, and wear a mask when distancing is not possible.
There are a number of CBE and Alberta Health resources available to help families understand what they are required to do if their child is sick – when you must isolate, when to be tested, how long you must stay home and when you can go back to school. Check out our new page on our website - If a Student is Sick or has COVID-19 Symptoms.
On that page, you can also find links to provincial resources: If a Student Shows Symptoms and Returning to school after an illness.
We have also created a webpage to track all notifications of positive cases in our schools. The page links to the provincial map which tracks provincial school outbreaks (two or more cases in a school).
Due to the continued disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the CBE will not be administering Grade 6 and 9 Provincial Achievement Tests in the 2020-21 school year. We believe this is the right decision in a year where direction from Alberta Education and Alberta Health continues to evolve rapidly.
Teachers will remain focused on delivering the programs of study for all courses, and will continue to assess student achievement based on the grade level outcomes as determined by the Province of Alberta.
Alberta Education informed school boards on Oct. 13 that October/November 2020 diploma exams are optional for some students, and the decision to write will be made by students and their parents. Diploma exams scheduled for January, April or June continue to be mandatory.
The exemption to write applies only to students currently taking the diploma course, and who will receive a school-awarded mark for the first quarter (September to November) courses. Those students who took a diploma course before the 2020-21 school year who have registered to write one or more exams in November must still write the exam. However, they may choose to defer the exam writing to January, April or June. If they decide to defer, they must let their school know by the end of this week.
School council and parent fundraising society meetings and activities are impacted this year because of COVID-19 protocols in place in our schools. New guidelines have been posted on our website.
Starting on Oct. 1, 2020 fees will be posted your MyCBE/PowerSchool account. Fees are due when they appear in your account. The CBE is introducing a new student supplies fee for the 2020-21 school year. This fee will apply to all students in kindergarten through Grade 9 (excluding HUB online learning students) to support in offsetting the cost to purchase school supplies for the year. For more information visit the Fees & Waivers webpage.
As always, if you have questions about your child or their learning, please connect with your child’s teacher or your school.
Sincerely,
Christopher Usih
Chief Superintendent of Schools
