Bienvenue!

We are very excited to begin a new school year at École Campbelltown. Please read the information below to assist you in your preparation for the new school year.

First Day of School

• First day of school for students is Monday, August 30th, 2010.
• Orientation days for ECS students are September 1 to 3, 2010.
• First full day for ECS students is Tuesday, September 7th, 2010.

Class Lists

Much thought and care was used when creating class lists. The teachers of previous years met in teams to discuss the optimal placement for each student in each of this year's classes following criteria such as learning styles, academic needs, student dynamics, gender balance, and student-teacher personalities. These lists where then discussed in depth with the administration so that small adjustments could be made as necessary. We thank you for your support in not making teacher requests.

Class lists will be posted on the bulletin boards in front of the gym and in front of the office on the first day of class, Monday, August 30th, 2010.

Classroom Locations

As you may know, many of our teachers have moved classrooms at the end of the school year. In order to help students find their new classrooms, school maps will be available on the first day of school along with staff greeters who will assist families in finding the new locations. We look forward to seeing you!

CPF-Sherwood Park Public Chapter would like to offer the French for Immersion Parents Level 1 course starting in the fall of 2010. 

This course was developed by CPF and Alberta Learning.  Its intent is to help parents of children in French Immersion to understand what and how their children are being taught and how parents can help their children with their homework. The course runs for eight weeks (16 hours) in a friendly, non-threatening environment.  No prior knowledge of French is required.  This course has been highly recommended by prior partiicipants.  Please register using the forms below:

CPF Course Registration Form

CPF Course 2 Registration Form 

Many of our members have already taken the Level 1 course.  We are prepared to offer French for Immersion Parents Level 2 if there is enough interest (minimum of 10 required).  The Level 2 course deals with the following:

• More vocabulary (special occasions, the environment, geography, at the restaurant, and more)
• More practice with pronunciation
• Further exploration of grammar concepts
• Additional hints, strategies and resources for immersion parents
• Discussions about immersion through the middle and secondary school years

Please let us know ASAP if you are interested.

If you know of someone who has a child in French Immersion, who is currently not a member of CPF and would be interested in either of these two courses, please pass the information along.

If you have any further questions, please contact Sandra Prior at 464-0057 or cpfsherwoodpark@hotmail.com.
