Message from Administration
My how time flies! Here we are at the start of June and only three and a half weeks left! That being said, it is going to be a busy month as our classes work to complete the school year curriculum with their classes, our grade 6 students prepare for Provincial Achievement Tests, and planning for the next school year.
Back on the 23rd of May, we held our Kindergarten Open House and it was a great success! Several families came in to check out the school and classrooms with several staff and plenty of student volunteers on hand to greet and answer questions. Every child was sent home with a Windsong Bookbag with a free book to get them started on their learning journey.
On the other end of the spectrum, on June 20 we will be holding our Grade 8 Farewell to send our grade 8's off to their next steps in learning. Our entire staff looks forward to celebrating their time at Windsong and know that they will continue to grow into amazing young adults!
As mentioned previously, there is lots of planning going on for next year, including class configurations and staffing. We do have some staff that are moving on to new buildings for the next school year and we have been busy hiring replacements for those. When all are finalized, we will let families know.
What we are able to share right now is that our amazing Assistant Principal, Mrs. Jody Moore, will be moving to Bert Church High School as Assistant Principal starting in August. Mrs. Moore has been instrumental in building such a wonderful school at Windsong. Her connection with students and families as well as her leadership in literacy and so many other areas will be greatly missed. We will miss you, Mrs. Moore, and are excited for your next adventure in administration!
We will be welcoming Ms. Gwen Dawes Harker to Windsong as Assistant Principal in the Fall. Ms. Dawes Harker is coming to us from WG Murdoch school in Crossfield, where she has been serving as Assistant Principal. Please join us in welcoming her to our staff and community.
School Education Plan...how are we doing?
Our School Education Plan is a working document that guides our school toward identified goals in the areas of Advancing Student Literacy and Numeracy Skill, Building Future Ready Students, and Creating Safe and Inclusive Learning Environments.
Every Spring, we ask parents who are willing to share with us their thoughts on our progress.
We welcome your thoughts on these two questions:
What is Windsong doing well?
What areas could be worked on or improved?

Finally, we want to wish all of our fathers in our school community a Happy Father's Day on June 16! We hope that you enjoy many special moments!
Kindly,
Mr. S. Woodward, Principal
Mrs. J. Moore, Assistant Principal
Mr. E. Schuber, Assistant Principal
