 QueenE sent a delegation of 26 students to the Annual Ocean Net Conference held in April. During the day students were given tours of the Marine Institute where they had a hand a operating controls for underwater robots. They also participated in activities focused on ocean sustainability. “Opportunities like the Ocean net conference give students a sense of connectedness and responsibility for participating in maintaining our greatest resource: the ocean.”Lorraine Hillier, teacher sponsor

It has come to our attention that there are rumors surrounding a possible pip-off day next week – specifically on Wednesday May 23. We just want to make it very clear that school is in full operation on that day. All tests and assignments will go ahead. All teachers will be offering the usual classroom instruction as we prepare for upcoming exams. We will also be looking for any unusual patterns of absence. In particular for those students who come to school in cars – you should really consider your attendance on that day if your attendance becomes an issue.
Thanks for your cooperation in this matter. We hope Wednesday will not be a big issue for this school.
There will be no classes Tuesday, May 22nd as teachers will be engaged in a Professional Development Day. Regular classes will resume on Wednesday. ~W.Rodgers
 On World Malaria Day, April 25th, the Spread the Net Team at Queen Elizabeth Regional High educated and engaged students at their school in the fight against malaria. Students were asked to pledge their support for those suffering from this entirely preventable and treatable disease by placing a handprint on a mural the STN Team created, and gave money to help buy bed nets to protect those living in high-risk malaria zones. They also wore blue, the colour for malaria, to further show their support.
 The Spread the Net Team’s initiative raised over $120 in one lunchtime, and created a fantastic mural to showcase how Queen Elizabeth students’ care about preventing malaria.
Students who have not yet returned their money for the 30-hour Famine are asked to do so as soon as possible.
Mr. Duff.
Dear Parents: The Eastern School District is in the first year of its 2011-2014 Strategic Plan. Goal 1 in the plan states that “By June 30, 2014, ESD will have enhanced learning opportunities to support student achievement and success”. One of the performance measures for this goal is to complete an Environmental Scan of Inclusionary Practices throughout the District. The Programs Division has compiled five different on-line surveys to attain this outcome: Inclusive Education Environmental Scan for Educators, Inclusive Education Environmental Scan for Support Staff, Inclusive Education Environmental Scan for Students (7-12), Inclusive Education Environmental Scan for Parents/Guardians and Inclusive Education Environmental Scan for Community Partners.
These web-based surveys have been compiled using Google Docs and can be accessed using the link at the end of this memo. All surveys will be open for the period of Wednesday, May 2, 2012 to Friday, June 1, 2012. Parents/Guardians – The Parent/Guardian Survey consists of 18 questions and should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. The information gathered from this Inclusion Environmental Scan will assist the District in establishing and improving initiatives to support schools as they continue to build an Inclusive Philosophy. Thank you in advance for your participation in this important process!
