On May 6, Jeff Johnson, our Minister of Education, signed a ministerial order that sets the direction for some very significant

changes that will be made to the education system in Alberta over the course of the next few years. The order is an outcome of the Inspiring Education process that was undertaken in the past few years. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the order (see below), as it describes the desired outcome of our education system – an engaged thinker who is an ethical citizen with entrepreneurial spirit.

The ministerial order sets the context for a number of changes, including the recently announced changes to the Provincial Achievement Tests (PATs) and the redesign of all core provincial curricula. We won’t see any changes in PATs at CSS for the next 2 years, as the implementation of the new standardized tests is phased, with grade 3 being the first phase in 2013-2014. After that, the grade 6 and 9 tests will be revamped. One of the primary intentions behind the changes is to provide schools an opportunity to use the tests to inform instruction. As they are now, the results are not used to provide any sort of diagnostic information on student achievement that teachers can use to better meet the needs of each student. By moving the tests to the start of the year, teachers can use the results to assist in program planning for each student. The format of the tests will also change. Rather than single pencil and paper tests for each subject, the new tests will be a series of smaller, on-line tests that are less likely

to result in test fatigue, and should therefore provide for more reliable results.

The curriculum redesign process is also well underway. Normally, curriculum redesign happens with one or two programs at a time, but the government has courageously determined they will simultaneously change all the core provincial curricula to be better aligned with the desired learning outcomes summarized in the ministerial order. The intention is to provide more autonomy for school jurisdictions to interpret curricula in a way that better meets the needs of their particular learners. The outcome will be leaner and less dense curricula so that students and teachers can dig more deeply into each subject, instead of having to cover such a large number of discrete learning outcomes.

The changes I describe here are only 2 of the changes that will have an impact on the quality of education your child will receive throughout their K-12 school experience. I encourage you to inform yourself of these changes and invite you to engage in dialogue with other parents, with teachers, and with your children.

Board of Directors Meeting HighlightsMay, 2013

The CSS Board met on May 21. With the end of the school year quickly approaching, we had several items to discuss and approve. Issues of particular interest to parents were:

• approval of the 2013-14 budget

• discussion of a process for renaming the school

• preparations for staff recognition

Budget The board approved submitting a deficit budget for the 2013-14 school year to Alberta Education. Consistent with the direction provided by Alberta Education, the board will use $394,000 of the Calgary Science School Operating Surplus to deal with the deficit and maintain existing programs. Be assured that there will be no staffing reductions and class sizes will remain unchanged. In fact, the budget provides for an increase of one half-time position in teaching staff to provide assistance to students with English language learning needs and specialized learning needs. To provide additional student and staff support, an Education Assistant position has been added.  Student enrichment ($475), lunch room ($50) and technology insurance fees ($60) remain unchanged from the current school year. Unfortunately, due to a reduction in transportation funding from Alberta Education, it was necessary to increase the transportation fee from $760 to $785. The board’s primary goal was to ensure

that there was no impact to the program at CSS as a result of funding changes from Alberta Education. We feel that this budget will achieve that goal.

Renaming Process The board approved a recommendation from the Communications Committee to continue to pursue a name change for the school. Engaging in consultation and gathering input from students, staff, parents and other members of the Calgary Science School community is underway to uncover themes that effectively describe what CSS is about. You may wonder, why now? Well, the name of a school should reflect what the school is about and what it does. Unfortunately, Calgary Science School does not.  Staff and administration spend a lot of time and energy dispelling myths about the Science School. Secondly, timing is excellent. The Science School is on a trajectory and now is a great time to communicate that things are changing. Watch for updates on the process in September.

Staff Recognition To show the board’s sincere appreciation for the “above and beyond” efforts of our teachers and other staff throughout the year, the board members will host a Staff Recognition lunch on June 21. We will celebrate accomplishments from the school year and express gratitude for the outstanding contributions of all CSS staff members.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we begin to wind down this school year, I wanted to provide you with some reminders and let you know about some of the technology-based changes we are looking to implement for next year.

Grade 9At this time, we are unable to sell the outgoing grade 9 students their school laptops. The machines they are using are only 3 years old and we will need to hold onto them for another group of CSS students. These machines will need to be

Technology Update returned to the school (along with their charger) before the end of the school year. A notice will be going home within the next two weeks explaining the process and timelines. It will be important for students to back up their files before the laptops are returned. Students will be responsible for any damages that may have occurred to the device (as specified in the laptop insurance agreement).

Changes for the 2013-2014 School YearGrade 6

We have been very pleased with the way our grade 4 and 5 students have been using iPads throughout the year. These devices have provided our students with a mobile productivity tool that has encouraged communication and creativity. We have also realized that the educational potential of these devices exceeds the two years we originally envisioned. Because of this, grade 6 students will be utilizing iPads (not laptops) throughout the 2013-2014 school year.

If you have any questions, I encourage you to contact me.

Parent Volunteer Update This month the Parent Volunteer Committee was honoured to be included in the ConnectEd conference for the second year in a row! As volunteers, we are always looking for new ways to serve the CSS community more effectively. What better way to do that than having an open conversation with educators about their needs and wants. We discussed virtual volunteering, the value volunteers provide to a school and provided ideas to other schools on how to effectively invite parents to volunteer in their schools.

last month we sent out an email checking the interest level of parents wanting to take a basic first aid course at the school. The response was overwhelming. Unfortunately, we need to apologize that we have not been unable to secure a date for this school year as there were not enough instructors to accommodate our large group. We are currently working on a date for early next year. Thank you for your response and we will continue to work on bringing you this program.

Thank you to everyone that has volunteered this year! So many things at CSS are not possible without you.

Parent Volunteer Committee

Calling All VolunteersOne of the many things that makes CSS such an amazing school is the many wonderful parent volunteers. The Transportation Committee is comprised of a group of parents, just like you, who volunteer their time and WE NEED YOUR HElP! We currently have two Volunteer Route Coordinator positions available for the upcoming 2013/2014 school year.What does a Volunteer Route Coordinator do? They assist in providing the best possible bus service to CSS parents and students by:

• answering parent email inquiries

• attending a few meetings during the year as required

• assisting in route planning as needed

The position doesn’t require much of a time commitment, just a willingness to help out in meeting transportation needs. Please note that all training will be provided and a “route coordinator buddy” will be there to show you the ropes. Please consider joining our team! Contact Kathy Babiuk in the office or email the transportation committee - transportationatcss@gmail.com, if interested.

Route Planning Reminder As mentioned in last month’s Spectrum, the Transportation Committee is curently working on planning bus routes for the upcoming school year. Routes are selected based on registered riders each term and, as such, routes and stops may change from the ones currently in place. The committee strives to fairly apply the transportation guidelines to all registered riders so that everyone gets the same great service! We are committed to providing the safest, most reliable, timely and fair service possible to all students.

New routes will be distributed to parents around mid June. These routes will be in effect for the start of school (August 2013). Once school starts, parents will have an opportunity to let us know of any concerns and/or route requests. The

Transportation Update

committee reviews and votes on these requests in September along with the Transportation Analyst (with final approval from Southland Transportation). More information will follow on this topic closer to the new school year.

Questions/Comments?We would love to hear from you! Please feel free to contact us at transportationatcss@gmail.com. One of our route volunteers will contact you.

If your child is leaving school before the end of the school year and you would like their report card mailed to you, please provide the office with a stamped, self-addressed envelope.

Please have children take all of their belongings home on their last day of school (shoes, desk contents, etc.) – we don’t have room to store any of these items as the entire school is cleaned over the summer to be ready for the new school year.

Also, please let the office know if you are going on vacation before the end of June or if your child will be starting school after August 14, 2013.

Thank you,

ConnectEdAGAIN

Over 300 educators from Canada descended on CSS May 24-26 for the 2nd annual ConnectEd Canada conference

For the 2nd year in a row, the Calgary Science School hosted ConnectEd Canada, a unique education conference built around observation, conversation and discussion, rather than a traditional “stand and deliver” presenter-to-audience focus. Each session and activity was designed to initiate discussion and the sharing of individual insights and experiences. The goal of ConnectEd is to create a network of innovative educators around the country who support and share with each other in developing exemplary teaching and leadership practices.

This year, registration almost doubled last year’s maiden conference, with 300 educators packing into CSS. Participants

were immediately plunged into the unique nature of the conference from the moment they arrived at CSS. Friday was a regular, operational school day at CSS and participants spent the morning touring classrooms, chatting with teachers and students as they went about their usual work. This concept was clearly appreciated by ConnectEd participant Tim, a teacher at Tamanawis Secondary School in Surrey, B.C.

“The morning in the classrooms set the tone,” he explained. “You’re seeing concrete examples of what inquiry-based learning looks like. It sets up a vision for the next 2 days to think of how you want to implement what is discussed and what you learn,” he added.

getting Groups of participants were led through the school by CSS students, spanning all grades, donned in bright orange ConnectEd t-shirts and navy blue CSS ballcaps. The guides allowed the participants the opportunity to ask students about their experience as learners at CSS. “They showed an incredible maturity and ability to express what they’re doing in the classroom,” Tim reflected. “Having real conversations with them, I see what kind of citizens these students are.”

According to Tim’s colleague, Graham, it was not just CSS students who engaged ConnectEd participants as they entered and observed classrooms. “Teachers were really enthusiastic about stopping and engaging us about what is happening in their classroom,” Graham explained. This openness was appreciated. “To have a parade of people coming through your classroom.... it can be pretty intimidating,” added fellow Tamanawis teacher Jodie.

Saturday and Sunday seemed to see as many conversations happening in the hallways and around the lunch tables as in the sessions themselves. And there is perhaps no better measure of success when it comes to engaging people in conversation in 2013 than the fact that the #connectedca hashtag was trending on Twitter throughout the weekend! Indeed, many of the participants were connected through Twitter prior to the conference and relished the opportunity to meet face-to-face and put names to Twitter handles. And the conversation continues in the Twitter-verse and will do so through the year (please see the next page for a sample of #connectedca tweets).

This unique nature of the conference is indicative of a trend in teaching that sees educators moving away from seeing each classroom and its teacher as an isolated, solitary place of teaching and learning to a model that sees teachers and classrooms collaborating and sharing with each other. Technology is a valuable catalyst in aspiring to this and there was conversation throughout the weekend regarding how technology can be used meaningfully in the classroom

to allow students the opportunity to connect with people, places and concepts that would otherwise be out of reach.

Though ConnectEd took place over the span of 3 days, conceiving and organizing the event required several months of work. CSS Outreach and PD Coordinator Dan McWilliam and grade 5 teacher Erin Couillard took the lead in planning and publicizing the event, from planning sessions and presenters to the logistics of transporting the many participants staying at Mount Royal University and providing lunch. In addition, many other teachers worked behind the scenes planning the schedule and organizing student tour guides, among other tasks. The school was also very proud to have parent members of the School Council and Parent Volunteer Committee in attendance.

Whether ConnectEd returns to CSS for another year or finds itself hosted by another Canadian school, all students, staff and parents can take great pride in the enthusiasm with which participants spoke of the sense of community and level of learning happening at CSS. Take a bow, everyone!

grade 5

fort steele

The Grade 5 Fort Steele History lab provides an amazing way for students to experience how people lived and worked during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The first 2 weeks of May sees each grade 5 class spend a period of 4 days and 3 nights sleeping, eating, learning and playing right in Fort Steele itself.

As always, upon arrival at the fort each class went on a scavenger hunt tour and orientation around Fort Steele, a hike to the cemetery, an introduction to some pioneer games, a lovely trek around ‘Turtle Echo lake’, and finally, a candle-log campfire with the grade 7’s in the historic RCMP barracks (the grade 5 sleeping quarters) before falling asleep on comfy straw mattresses (called straw ticks).

The second day saw the grade 5’s mostly off-site as they participated in a rigorous guided hike through the remains of the historic ‘Fisherville’ goldmining town. Fisherville was the first of many townsites that popped up along Wild Horse Creek as prospectors flooded into the area during the 1864 gold rush. Fisherville’s inhabitants vanished almost as quickly as they came once the opportunity to get rich quick died. After a creek-side lunch, students embarked on some gold panning of their own, led by Mr. Sweet and Mr. Petronech!

After a busy day, a hearty, homemade dinner awaited at the International Hotel, prepared and served by the hard working grade 7s. It was then off to the recreation centre in Cranbrook for some pool fun (water slide, swimming pool, diving boards and wave pool). Upon return to Fort Steele, students were treated to the first presentation of the ‘Fort Steele Follies’, performed by the grade 7 students in the Wild Horse Theatre. After another rousing campfire, it was time to sleep.

The third day saw students move around Fort Steele in their assigned troops, taking in a variety of presentations and activities, including the Pioneer Home (with clothes washing duties as well as the making of johnny cakes, butter, and ice cream), the museum archives, blacksmith shop, rail yard, and the old schoolhouse, complete with an 1800’s style disciplinarian/teacher.

The last day consisted of packing up, a trip to the gift shop and the traditional troop marching drills, uniformed in new red Fort Steele shirts. Outgoing classes handed-off their troop banners to the new crop of NWMP recruits; the incoming grade 5 class. The winding bus ride home included a stop for a welcome soak in the Radium Hot Springs en route.

“I learned that many people at Fort Steele still think it’s 1898 but it’s 2013!” - Febronia, 5.4

“Mr. Sweet told us that we were to go around town on a scavenger hunt. We went to every building to check them out.” - Jakob, 5.4

“When we got back from Fort Steele, I felt like we had just left that morning, but we did so many things there.” - Liam, 5.4

CSS Reads 2013 - The FinalChapter

The Search for the Ultimate Grade 9 Book

The Grade 9 teaching team, which included two student teachers this term, constructed a reading competition based on the CBC’s Canada Reads program. The question every student needed to answer was this: Why is this novel meaningful and relevant for CSS grade 9 students?

Over two months, the grade 9 students of the Calgary Science School read books of their choosing, reviewing and critiquing them in search of the ultimate novel for their class. Taking inspiration from the Canada Reads contest, all 100 students, five teachers and two student teachers participated. The project ran through a series of “rounds” and students tracked their reading, thinking and writing about their selected books through personal blogs and videos. Because our 100 students are split into four classrooms of 25, it was decided that they would begin in groups of five that would, through votes of elimination, narrow down their five books to a single novel that the group would put forward to the class. This process of narrowing down the choices took four hours over multiple days as students defended and attacked the books within their group on the basis of theme, reader engagement, appropriate content, reading level, character motivation, writing style and even believability. After the

groups of five chose a single book to champion in front of the class, the debate became a classroom affair. Each classroom of 25 deliberated for a full two periods and chose one book to put forward as their “Class Choice.”

The four finalists, each representing a grade 9 class, were:

• The Alchemist

• Crank

• The Illustrated Man

• The Boy in the Striped Pajamas

And I could not be happier. Here we have The Alchemist, a classic novel acting as a mass-metaphor for living life and following your dreams, up against a free-verse style poetry collection detailing (in a sometimes graphic manner) the struggle of a young woman’s drug addiction in Crank.

Across the table from those two are equally surprising selections. The Illustrated Man, unlike its opponents, is a collection of science-fiction short stories, written 60 years ago, detailing harrowing tales of alien encounters and the dangers of technologies. In contrast, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is historical fiction, following 2, 9-year-old boys

developing a relationship through a concentration-camp fence, building bonds beyond the German/Jewish demands of their society. Each of the 4 books has varying themes and messages, from the need to reject peer pressure and build self-reliance, to multi-culturalism and hope. 100 students, from four classrooms, came together and found a collection of books, some of which most teachers would never have considered, and told us what we were missing. Which teacher would have thought that The Illustrated Man, written in the time of their grand-parents, would garner 22% of the popular vote? Which teacher would have believed that Crank could inspire a reluctant, male reader to defend a female protagonist’s fight against drugs through poetry?!

By the end of the debates, every student had read two books, every student researched at least one other and every student asked him/herself the question, “What book has meaning for me as a grade 9 student?” It was beautiful. I have students even now, two weeks later, asking each other which book to read next. For students and teachers, we consider this unit a win.

Thursday, June 207:00 - 8:30 pm

CSS Gym

Featuring music from films such as: Back To The Future, Star Trek and Lord Of The Rings

Also featuring

a Performing

and Visual Arts

Showcase

As the year quickly approaches an end there are a few important items coming up for next month.

Summer ConcertThe Summer Concert date is scheduled for June 20, 2013 at 7:00 pm in the gym. This will be our last performance before the end of the year. Students need to arrive at 6:30pm for a quick warm-up before taking the stage. Full dress uniform is required for this performance. This year’s theme is all about Movie Music. Band students from Grades 6 -9 will be playing music from various motion picture films. For this evening, a concession stand selling various snacks (popcorn, chips etc.) for the audience to purchase will be setup at the back of the gym during the concert. Snacks will be available for the band students at the end of their performance.

If students ARE returning to band for the 2013/14 school year:At this time of year students need to decide what their interest is for returning to band next year. Students seriously considering playing in the band for the 2013/2014 school year should decide which instrument they would like to play so parents can make proper arrangements. It is strongly recommended to remain on the same instrument however;

some exceptions apply for those interested in playing percussion. Students thinking of switching instruments should contact Mr. Bolen.

If students ARE NOT returning to band for the 2013/14 school year:Students NOT RETURNING to band next year need to return their instrument to the appropriate rental program. Students renting CSS instruments may return them to the band room so they can be signed off. Students renting instruments from either St. John’s Music or Long & McQuade MUST RETURN THEIR INSTRUMENTS TO THE STORE!!! Failure to do this will result in continued payments over the summer!

Thank-you to all CSS Band Parents for supporting the band program and to the Band Parent Committee who gave their time and efforts into all the events this year. It was a banner year for success at the festival.

Please contact Andrew Bolen andrew.b@calgaryscienceschool.com if you have any questions or concerns. looking forward to making music at our last concert.

8.1/9.1 will be performing Zombeo and Juliet A modern adaptation of a classic using dark humour to change an age-old tragedy to a clever modern comedy. Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers are having some very supernatural problems. The Montgomery’s are a family of zombies. Their sworn enemies, the Decapitates, are zombie hunters. When Juliet’s cousin Ty kills Romeo, Romeo becomes a zombie, making the Montgomery family proud. Soon after at the Decapitate’s costume party, Romeo and Juliet meet and fall in love, but poor Juliet Decapitate doesn’t know her love is one of her undead adversaries. It isn’t until Romeo kills Ty and gets banned from the mall — tragically cutting off his Orange Julius supply — that Juliet learns the truth about her love. She is faced with a difficult decision: does she abandon her family for her true love or does she perform her family duties and send Romeo to his grave for good? Finally, a version of Romeo and Juliet where your audience won’t know the ending!
