Important Information for Parents of Beddington Heights School

This message is to inform you that students and staff were evacuated from our school around 11:05 am this morning due to a small fire in the boys’ washroom. Calgary Fire and Police responded while students and staff were relocated to St. Bede School. These steps were taken as a precaution to ensure the safety and comfort of students and staff.
The fire was contained to a small area in a restroom and no injuries were sustained. Everyone was back at our school by 12:10 pm and students are now eating lunch.
I want to thank students and staff for handling this situation in such a prompt and responsible manner. Through regular and effective fire drills, students and staff were well rehearsed and able to follow emergency procedures effectively. It was due to their efforts and cooperation that this matter was resolved quickly and safely.
Thank you for your support. If you have any questions about this situation, please feel free to contact me at 403-777-6610.
Brian Hebert
Principal, Beddington Heights School

Reminders
1. Math Test Wednesday! Students were given a review to work on today and tomorrow.
2. Friday is early dismissal
3. Social homework - read the article and answer questions #1-9

Today we started off the day by reviewing a 3 step equation problem before getting to work on the test review in math.

During social we explored the topic of global warming and our Canadian carbon tax.  It is relevant in the news, as well as helps our students read between the lines to respond to questions that aren't as direct.  It was also eye-opening to see how many of our students forgot how to answer a question in complete sentences.   Inferencing and explaining yourself are key skills for successful PAT results.

During LA groups presented their skits they have been planning and rehearsing all last week! The ones that did present were very well done and entertaining.

In the afternoon we had gym, DEAR time, music and made some Christmas cards for family, friends and teachers.

We hope everyone has a marvelous Monday!
