亲爱的家长/监护人，

过去的一周对每个人来说都是非常艰难的。我们非常感谢您的耐心、支持和理解，我们与校长和老师共同努力，以确定我们如何在家中提供和支持教学，帮助我们12.4万名学生学习。在过去的四天里，我们在在线教学交付方式和如何支持没有技术设备的学生方面取得了显著进展。下周就是春假的开始。今年的春天将与我们计划中的完全不同。我们希望您和您的家人能保持安全和健康。

我们在下面提供了一些重要的更新信息，以及我发布的一个简短视频留言。

为持续学生学习而制定的阿尔伯塔省教育指导方针

今天，阿尔伯塔省教育部发布了一些关于K-12学习的 指导方针。对于我们所有的学生，卡尔加里公立教育局还有很多工作要做，以确定这将对他们意味着什么。在春假后，您将收到更多信息和指导。

有关更多信息，请阅读以下内容：

• 教育部长Adriana LaGrange致家长的信
• 阿尔伯塔省教育部教育连续计划常见问题解答

省级成就测验和毕业考试

正如政府宣布的，所有6年级和9年级的省级成就测验以及12年级的毕业考试都被取消。在特殊情况下，学生可以要求参加毕业考试。我们正在向省政府寻求关于这些特殊情况的明确消息，并将在未来几周内提供更多信息。

学习资源

春假过后，我们将共享额外的学习资源和活动，以支持学生的学习。我们创建了一个 在家学习网页，提供各种教育思路，以支持幼儿园至9年级学生的识字、计算和健康的学习。春假后，我们还将通过Brightspace by D2L向10年级至12年级的学生提供核心课程。

3月23日至27日期间，我们的传统日历学校将关闭，校长和老师不需要工作，遵循我们的惯例。修改过的日历学校将休假直至4月6日。

健康和心理健康资源

卡尔加里公立教育局在我们的网站上发布了许多 家长资源，包括一些关于如何与孩子谈论COVID-19的指导。

注意电话和/或互联网诈骗

我们得知有些声称来自卡尔加里公立教育局的人联系家长，并提出诸如“你家里有几个人？”和“请告诉我们你的家庭收入”等个人问题。卡尔加里公立教育局的工作人员绝不会联系任何家庭索要这些信息。在这个许多网站和应用在推广他们的在线解决方案的时候，家长们应谨慎安全地下载资源。

我们将在有新信息时继续分享。

请保重！

​Dear Parents/Guardians,

This past week has been very challenging for everyone. We greatly appreciate your patience, support and understanding as we work with principals and teachers on how we deliver and support learning at home for our 124,000 students. In the past four days we have made remarkable progress in what online delivery will look like and how we can also support students who do not have access to technology. Next week is the start of spring break. This year’s spring will be very different from what any of us had planned. We hope you and your family stay safe and healthy.

We are providing some important updates below, as well as a brief video message from me.

Alberta Education Guidelines for Continued Student Learning

Today, Alberta Education issued some guidelines around K-12 learning. The CBE has significant work to do over the next few days to determine what this will look like for all of our students. You can expect to receive more information and guidance after spring break.

For additional information, please read the following:

• Letter from Education Minister Adriana LaGrange to parents
• Education Continuity Plan Frequently Asked Questions from Alberta Education

Provincial Achievement Tests and Diploma Exams

As announced by the government, all Grade 6 and 9 provincial achievement tests and Grade 12 diploma exams are cancelled. Under special circumstances, students can request to write a diploma exam. We are looking for clarity from the province regarding these special circumstances and will provide more information in the coming weeks.

Learning Resources

After spring break, additional learning resources and activities will be shared to support students in learning. We have created a Learning at Home web page that offers a variety of educational ideas to support literacy, numeracy and wellness for kindergarten to Grade 9 students. Also following spring break, we will be making available core classes through Brightspace by D2L for Grades 10-12.

From March 23-27 our traditional calendar schools will be closed and principals and teachers are not expected to be working, as per our usual practice. Modified calendar schools will be on break until April 6.

Wellness and Mental Health Resources

The CBE has posted a number of resources for parents on our website, including some guidance around talking to children about COVID-19.  

Beware of Phone and/or Internet Scams

We have been made aware that some people claiming to be from the CBE have contacted parents and asked personal questions such as “how many people live in your home” and “please tell us your household income.”  CBE personnel would never contact any families asking for this information. During this time where many websites and applications are promoting their online solutions, parents are reminded to be thoughtful about safe downloading of resources.

We will continue to share information as it becomes available.

Take care,

Christopher Usih
Chief Superintendent of Schools
