As the holidays approach we begin to hear more about and perhaps pay more atten-tion to, the idea of helping others. At CSS, helping others is actually part of our school program. Since August 2010 our students and teach-ers have had a class in their timetables called Service Learning. That time is allo-cated in recognition of the importance of teaching our students about how they can contribute to their com-munity. Service learning is just what it says it is: learn-ing through providing a service to others. Often, that service has been in the form of raising funds to support a cause, but as a staff we are constantly looking for other, non-financial opportunities to support others. We have had a snow angel brigade in the past, where our grade 8 and 9 students fan out around the school after a snowfall to clear the walks for some of our elderly neighbours, we have helped in litter pickups in the Weaselhead, last year we hosted an on-line lead-ership forum as part of the Mayoralty race so other Calgary students could ask questions of the future mayor, we have invited seniors from the Lakeview community to join us for some cribbage and conversation, and we have worked with the Lakeview Community Association to implement a community garden, just to list a few examples of service learning. I think we are doing pretty well, but there is always more to be done.

I know that the idea of service learning is critical for young learners, part icularly

proud of the work that our students, staff , and famil ies have undertaken to support others and I get excited to think about what opportu-nit ies this hol iday season wil l bring to deepen and strengthen how we support our community. I wish you al l a happy, family oriented holiday season.

nowadays, when the increasingly fast pace and a more consumer focused mental ity seem to domi-nate our l ives. In fact , when I consider what it means to be a 21st century learner (education jargon that has become increasingly more popular in the past few years) , I think that service to others must be part of the conversation.

Calgary Science School Education Plan and Annual Results:

Assistant Principal, Phil Butterfield presented the Calgary Science School Education Plan/Annual Educational Results Report. This is a comprehensive document that provides a wealth of information that would be of definite interest to parents at the school. It will be posted on the school website in accordance with Alberta Education Requirements.

A great deal of time has been dedicated to the process of engaging members of the school community in reflecting on the wide range of learning experiences offered in the school

and identifying goals, outcomes, measures and strategies for continued enhancement of learn-ing and teaching in the Calgary Science School. As well, the document makes provision for cel-ebrating accomplishments and reporting on the degree of success which has been experienced in addressing the key goals over the past school year.

The Board of Directors expressed its apprecia-tion to the Leadership Team, Staff members and School Council members who were involved in the process of preparing the very comprehensive report.

Other Reports

Facility Committee:

Staff members and students have been actively involved in a consultative process in which ideas and needs relating to the school facility were identified and prioritized. The student and staff feedback will be incorporated in the plan for the 2011 – 2012 school year. The Board of Directors approved up to $100,000 to be taken from the operational surplus to fund school enhancement projects including: safety and security upgrades, lighting, windows upgrades, collaboration centre in the library, new furniture solutions, mainte-nance and repairs (painting, thermostat replace-ments, caulking, flooring repairs), miscellaneous improvements (storage, outdoor lighting and fencing)

Outdoor Education Programs

Mr. Lonsberry presented and recently participated in a 4–day Environmental Education Leadership Clinic, sponsored by Cenovus, in partnership with the Alberta Council for Environmental Education which he and teachers Erin Couillard and Deirdre Bailey and parent Rob Pegg attended. The CSS team had an opportunity to reflect on existing programs and to develop a plan for outdoor and environmental education learning experiences in the Calgary Science School.

Stacey McRae, a Community Prevent ion Counsellor with Alberta Health Services, opened our November school council meeting by sharing an overview of the upcoming free 4-part parent education program, “Kids and Drugs”. This program was last offered at the Calgary Science School during the 2009-10 school year. There were a few parents at the November meeting who attended the 2009-10 sessions and they commented that it was very worthwhile. Not only does the program provide current information about street drugs, but it also provides plenty of opportu-nities to talk about ways to improve the lines of communication with your children. If this sounds like something you might benefit from, please confirm your attendance by emailing Shannon Mitchell-Flek (shannon.m@calgary-scienceschool.com). The first session will be from 6:30 to 8:30 pm on Thursday, January 26.

Other highlights from the November meeting included:

•  Darrell’s report on the 2010/11 PAT results and Accountability Survey results. See the November 2011 issue of the Spectrum for more information.

•  Approval of the updated 3-year plan for School Council. In addition to recurring activities and events, priorities for this year will include more regular updates to School Council information on the CSS website and working to create an opera-tions / reference manual for the various School Council events, activities and positions. A copy of the updated 3-year plan can be viewed on the CSS website under “Publications”.

Since the November meeting, the Fun Lunch committee has been busy, with Booster Juice on November 16th and Extreme Pita on November 25th. Thanks to everyone who was able to support this School Council fundraiser by placing an order. And a special thanks to all the volunteer members of our Fun Lunch com-mittee. Without you, we’d all be stuck packing sandwiches a few more times this year!

scHool council News NOTE: Last year we offered free babysit-ting services during School Council meetings. This service, which requires a fair bit of effort to organize, was used only twice during the year. So based on the very limited take-up and on 2011 parent survey feedback, we have decided to offer babysitting services only for special School Council events, such as par-enting conferences. If this decision negatively affects you, please contact schoolcouncil@calgaryscienceschool.com to discuss pos-sible childcare arrangements.

The next School Council meeting will be Tuesday, December 6 beginning at 7 pm in the Anne Tingle Library and will include an update from the fundraising committee. A meeting of the CSS Parent Fundraising Society will follow immediately afterwards. Since December is a busy time, we have not scheduled a guest speaker, in order to keep the meeting as brief as possible. A full meeting agenda will be dis-tributed via email in advance of the meeting. If there’s a topic you’d like to see addressed, please email schoolcouncil@calgaryscienc-eschool.com.

And finally, in case you haven’t already heard, Education Minister Thomas Lukaskuk is encouraging all Albertans to provide input to the consultations on the new Education Act, which will be introduced in the Legislature in spring 2012. The website, which can be found at http://ideas.education.alberta.ca/engage, includes ways for both students and parents to provide input. The consultation is open until January 8, 2012 and if you haven’t already done so, I encourage you to take a few minutes to ensure your family’s voice is heard.

On behalf of School Council, I’d like to wish everyone an enjoyable Winter Break. Hopefully you’ll find an opportunity to get outside and enjoy nature, whether here in the Calgary area or somewhere away. See you in the New Year!

Denise Kitagawa, School Council President

3. CHECK THE SCHOOL WEBPAGE: if you want to see why your bus is delayed check the school webpage and look for your specific route number; if the bus is delayed by more than 15 minutes it should be posted here. If you need further answers, contact Southland Transportation at 403-287-1335. Note: the contract CSS has with Southland states that CSS buses will be cancelled if they are unable to reach the first stop within 60 minutes of the scheduled time.

4. HAVE A BACK-UP PLAN: if it is a snowy/icy weather day, then parents should expect delays rather than expect the bus to be on time. Sometimes it is impossible for messages to be sent out in a timely manner when all the buses are delayed; unfortunately, the dispatchers cannot keep up in this cir-cumstance. Please ensure you have a back-up plan in place for your child (i.e.: car pooling or driving your child to school) so they are not left waiting at the bus stop on those extremely cold Calgary winter days. If they are left unattended, discuss with them how long they should wait, and what they should do, etc.

Do You Have Quest ioNs or CommeNts?

If you have any questions or requests that we haven’t addressed, please feel free to contact us via email at: transpor-tationatcss@gmail.com

Thank you!

The CSS Transportation Committee

CSS has great parent volunteers! The Transportation Committee is pleased to have three new faces join our volunteer team! Magdalena Palka (Route 2), Melissa MacDonald (Route 4) and Kris Lautermilch (Route 8) have all generously agreed to take over the route coordinator positions that were recently vacant. We appreciate your willingness to help out, and welcome your thoughts and ideas.

Hate to saY it But ...

Whether we like it or not, the cold weather is here! Just a friendly reminder of some things you can do:

1. BE PREPARED: dress warmly (hats, boots, gloves, etc.) and be ready at your designated pick up spot before the bus arrives. This will help to reduce wait times for all of our students.

2. SIGN UP FOR THE DELAYED BUS NOTIFICATION SYSTEM: if you want to receive bus delay notifications you can sign up for this service. There are step by step instructions located on the school webpage (refer to: www.calgaryscienceschool.com) under the Transportation tab at the top of the page. If the bus is delayed by 10 minutes, the driver is instructed to notify Southland Transportation and you will be notified via text msg or email, etc. Please note if delay messages are not being sent out to you after you have signed up for this service, please notify us at our gmail account so that we can try to find out why they were not sent out and hopefully rectify the problem for any future bussing delays. (Note: our parent volunteers do their best to monitor the gmail account as often as possible but may not be able to respond to your request immediately).

We were undefeated the entire season but earned a silver medal at our final tournament, losing only the last match in a tight 2 sets.

The season was an opportu-nity for the girls to receive practice time, court time,

and mature their teamwork and communication skills. I found it interesting interact-ing with the grade 8’s, and we grade 9’s got a chance to practice being leaders.

Our efforts at morning prac-tices and after school games

are reflected by the improve-ment many players dis-played at the end of the term. Congratulations, Lasers! Good luck next year!

The 2011 Sr. Girls volleyball season here at CSS was a positive and successful time for both the older and younger players. A rewarding experience, many girls developed new skills and a love for the game.

On Wednesday, October 28th, the Grade 6 be-ginner band performed as a group for the first time. The concert was a little unconventional due to the fact that the audience members were sitting right beside the performers! Friends and family got firsthand experience of what a typi-cal grade 6 band rehearsal consists of. This in-cluded setting up instruments, warming up, and showing off the songs they had learned so far. A few brave parents even got a chance to try their hand at conducting the entire 100 piece band! The evening was a great success and it was very clear that the grade 6 students had worked hard, learned a lot, and shown a great

deal of progress in the two months since they began their concert band experience! Here is what one student had to say about the concert entitled “Band Blast!”

“After many days of practicing our songs it was time for all of the 100 talented students to show-case their talents by performing to their parents. Everyone was seated in sections organized by instrument with their parent by their side. Each kid determined to impress and make his or her parent proud. When we performed our songs (“Lets Go Band”) we sounded professional and impressive. There was nothing our parents could complain about. As my parents and myself were leaving, I saw every parent leave with a smile stretched from side to side. We truly did deserve to be proud of.”

Gr. 5 Fine Arts Int egrationThe past couple of months students and staff have been working hard to bring together the musical production “The Case of The Missing Parts of Speech” in our and Fine Arts Integration classes. The students have studied all elements that make up a musical theatre production such as; character, blocking, and choreography, as well as learn music to sing the songs in the musical.

By the time this newsletter is published the performances will have concluded. The shows that have already happened were excellent– the students were amazing.

CSS Band Camp“The two day band camp to Camp Chestermere November 7&8 was a won-derful learning experience. The CPO pro-fessional musician that came in to tell us about his careers as a musician was very inspiring to not only the CSS band but also to the Samuel W. Shaw Middle School (SWS) band who were accompanying us on our over night band camp. After a long day of rehearsing and learning we got to have

CSS Wint er ConcertThe CSS music department will be show-casing a number of ensembles at the Winter Concert, which will be held on Thursday, December 8th from 7:00 – 8:00 pm.

some fun. We played bingo, had a dance moves competition, and then to end the day with a movie.

An early wake up to a delicious breakfast of pancakes, sausages, yogurt, and fruit was a great way to start the day. Mr. Bolen arranged excellent experts for each instru-ment to work with us for about two hours on our playing ability and our Christmas concert songs. After the sectionals, the CSS and SWS bands got together to play our Christmas songs. Everyone in both bands got significantly better in their playing ability.

This entire two-day band camp was a great learning experience for all students of the band. We met some very cool and talented musicians who had very interesting stories, careers, and instruments. It was a fun and educational camp that helped and improved the band students significantly.”

CSS will be losing one of its teachers in January to the temperate climate and bustling environment of Vancouver, BC. Mr. Stephenson has been with the Calgary Science School since August of 2004. He started out as a member of the teaching staff at grade 6 and 7, but has most recently been doing a fantastic job in the Professional Development and Collaboration Coordinator position. In that role, Mr. Stephenson has really helped to put CSS on a pro-vincial stage where we are consistently recognized for the great teaching, inno-vative practices, and a focus on professional col-laboration. Mr. Stephenson started the Connect! blog, which has been a critical

means of sharing our teach-ing practices with the wider educational community. We know that the blog is fol-lowed by people within the department of education, by faculty members in Alberta Universities, and by a sig-nificant number of teach-ers and educational leaders from around the world. Mr. Stephenson has been instru-mental in our ability as a school to meet the obligation we have under our charter to be innovative and to reach out to a greater audience to learn from and share with.

Mr. Stephenson’s role has always been a little difficult to describe to people, as a similar position does not exist anywhere else, as far as I am aware. One of his

primary responsibilities has been to work very closely with teachers to assist in the planning and implementa-tion of inquiry-based teach-ing. His creativity and depth of understanding of how technology can be used to deepen thinking has been an invaluable contribution to the practice of all of our teachers. Every student in the school has benefited from Mr. Stephenson’s work with the rest of the teaching staff. He truly is an exem-plary teacher and I wish him all the best as he takes on the challenges of being a District Principal of Innovation and Inquiry for 32 schools within the Delta school district.

Darrell Lonsberry,Principal

Farewell to mr. stepHenson

Student teachers – Congratulations on the successful completion of your final student teach-ing practicum experience. We have enjoyed having you in our school and have greatly appreciated your enthusiasm, dedication and keen desire to benefit fully from this learning experience as you prepare to become members of the teach-ing profession. We commend you for the extra time you spent in the school beyond what is normally expected of student teachers and your involvement

in a variety of school profes-sional development activities and extracurricular activities. Although the emphasis of the student teaching experience has been on developing your professional knowledge, skills and attributes, you have also made a significant contribution through sharing your special talents and demonstrating innovative teaching practices. During the period of your student teaching experience in our school you have demonstrated an understanding of the 16

dimensions of exemplary teach-ing which serve as a framework for the Calgary Science School. Congratulations on a very suc-cessful teaching experience and we wish you all the best as you complete the require-ments to become a professional teacher. We hope that you will consider any opportunities that arise to return to the Calgary Science School as a member of the teaching staff.

Garry McKinnon, Superintendent

develop greater sel f con-f idence. She has given count less hours to the

preparat ions, rehearsals and performances of many school plays and musicals.

The staff and students have al l appreciated her commitment and dedica-
