Mrs. Godfrey |
| Today is Thursday, June
24th and this is Mrs. Godfrey with a few brief messages from
Caledonia Regional.
Our Graduates and
families are preparing for Graduation 2021, and we are so excited to
have the Graduating class under the Caledonia roof for the first time since
March 13, 2020. We have followed all
the Public Health procedures and protocols.
The gym is set up for Graduation night and we have some great news to
share! Each Graduate will be able to
have ONE ADDITIONAL TICKET for the event – in addition to the tickets
you have already received. You can pick
your extra ticket up any time from the front office if you would like it for a
souvenir – or you can just arrive the night of graduation with an additional
guest. All guests will register at the
front office – so if you arrive with your guest list already complete (names
and phone numbers), you can just hand that to the Admin Assistant and it will
save you time at the registration desk.
If you forget, don’t worry – we’ll just register you and your guests at
that time. We are so excited for you –
only 1 more sleep.
Report cards will be available
tomorrow for all students in Grades 6 through 11. Grade 12 students will receive their
transcript the night of Graduation and do not receive a report card. Students who have a drive to school can pick
up their report card from the cafeteria and leave immediately after. The busses will leave tomorrow at 1:30 for
students who are traveling by bus.
Have a great day.

Graduation 2021 will be held
from the Caledonia Gymnasium on Friday, June 25th beginning at 7 pm. Attendance is limited and will be by

Congratulations to all
students for a successful year. Special
congratulations to our Grade 8 students – moving to high school in the fall and
– of course - to the Caledonia Graduating Class of 2021! We are all very
proud of your accomplishments and extend a heartfelt thank you to our great communities
who worked together to host an evening of celebration last night for your Prom.
Report cards are

| Today is Monday, June 7th
and this is Mrs. Godfrey with a message from Caledonia Regional.
If there is one constant
this school year – it is that we seem to be forever in a state of change.
Tomorrow – Tuesday,
June 8th – will be another half day for all students. Dismissal for students in Grades 6 – 12 will
take place at 11:45 am. This dismissal
time is different from the dismissal time at Hillsborough Elementary.
Once again, students at
Caledonia will be dismissed at 11:45 am.
We will run a condensed morning with shorter classes (of approximately
35 minutes) in Grades 6 – 12. This will
enable teachers to meet with all students in all subject areas.
Once again, this early
dismissal for students is in anticipation of the extreme heat warnings in place
accompanied by mask wearing and the directive to not use fans in
classrooms.
Thank you for your patience
and understanding.

and this is Mrs. Godfrey with a few messages from Caledonia Regional.
The 2020-2021 school
year has been filled with challenges and multiple successes and we begin the
month of June with great optimism.
Due to provincial changes
communicated in mid-May in the Return to School Document, we were able to
proceed with plans for a full in person Graduation for the Graduating Class of
2021. The date has been set for Friday,
June 25th beginning at 7 pm in our Gymnasium. Multiple Public Health restrictions apply and
attendance is by invitation only.
We have received
permission for a Grade 8 off site activity.
Grade 8 students were provided with this information this week. Additional information on a Grade 8
promotional event will be shared with those students and parents in the
upcoming days.
Demonstration of
Learning and Assessment Week for the High School will begin next Friday, June
11th and run until Friday, June 18th. There is no break in high school classes during
this time. Students continue their rotational
in person and online learning up to and including the final day for high school
– June 18th. Middle School
students continue to attend school until Friday, June 25th.
Thank you for
listening. Have a wonderful weekend.
I hear that we are
expecting some nice weather. Enjoy!

A
reminder to all potential graduates of 2021, registration opens tomorrow – May 5th
– to select your individual graduation time.
The link to the registration can be found on the homepage of our school
website. Graduation times are staggered
throughout the afternoon and early evening.
A
reminder that there is no school for students in grades 6 through 12 this
Friday, May 7th. This is an
NBTA Council Day. This means that Monday, May 10th will be a Track B
day for High School.
We
take every opportunity to remind our staff and students of the importance of
remaining vigilant during these unstable times.
We continue to wear a mask in our parking lot and whenever we are within
2 m of another person. We wear a mask in
our building in all common areas and during transition times. We sanitize our hands upon entry and our workstation
when leaving.
Thank
you for your co-operation.

The
Caledonia Student Council is springing into spring with theme days each day
this week. Tomorrow is Jersey Day. Wednesday is Flannel Day. Thursday is Disney & Sunglasses Day and
Friday is Pajama Day. Thank you, Student
Council, for brightening our Caledonia days.
Kathy
Dewolfe-Tower is hosting an online Charity Bingo for Graduation 2021. The event will take place this Thursday
evening, April 29th at 7 pm.
Get your Bingo card by connecting with Kathy on Facebook or by calling
her at 850-2851.
All
Grads are invited to an online TEAMS meeting this Wednesday evening beginning
at 6 pm. Information about Graduation 2021
will be discussed with graduates at that time prior to release to the public.
An
announcement was made this past weekend that high school students would NOT be
returning to full in person learning this school year. We will maintain our current rotational track
system of Track A and Track B.
If
you are experiencing any problems with accessing your child’s information on our
Parent Portal, please contact our Admin Assistant directly at the school at
734-3710. Through this portal, you can access your child’s attendance,
schedule, graduation requirements, course selection, and historical
grades.
A
reminder that our Cafeteria is available for food purchases daily.
As
cases of COVID continue to be concerning, we remind our staff and students daily
of the importance of remaining vigilant.
We continue to wear a mask in our parking lot and whenever we are within
2 m of another person. We wear a mask in
our building in all common areas and during transition times. We sanitize our hands upon entry and our workstation
when leaving.
We
are on the home stretch – with only May and June remaining. We will continue to minimize the risk of transmission
within our school. A COVID exposure
could result in another school closure - which could jeopardize our Graduation
plans among other things.
Stay
safe Tigers! Let’s finish the school
year on a strong note!
Mrs.
Godfrey |
| Today
is Sunday, April 11th and this is Mrs. Godfrey with a message that full
time in-person learning plans for high school students across the province have
been delayed.
This
was announced yesterday afternoon by Cabinet.
This
delay is a result of presumed cases of the variant in Zones 1 and 2 and a
number of cases throughout our province that are concerning. This delay will allow for maximized physical distancing
at the high school level and will minimize possible contact and transmission.
This
decision will be revisited in the coming weeks.
If
we ever do have the opportunity to come together, our Full Time and In-Person
learning plan will come into effect. We
are well prepared.
Until
such time, tomorrow – Monday, April 12th – will see Track B students
attend school in person and Track A students attend online. Those students identified as Track C, will continue
this track as well. Blended Learning
continues with high school students at home logging into their TEAMS classes at
the designated class times. Business will
be as usual with no changes to our bell system or cafeteria use.
Our
cafeteria will still be open beginning tomorrow.
High
School report cards will go home tomorrow and Tuesday with students. Book your
parent / teacher conference by visiting our Caledonia website. This is a Grade 6 – 12 Parent / Teacher
conference and there are 2 options – phone or online.
Students
are reminded to wear their masks in public as per Public Health directives. This includes our parking lot.
Take
care everyone. If we have learned
anything this year, it is that things can change swiftly. Thank you for your understanding and ongoing
co-operation.
Mrs.
Godfrey |
| Today
is Friday, April 9th and this is Mrs. Godfrey with some messages from
Caledonia Regional.
Report
cards will go home with high school students on Monday, April 12th. Parents and guardians are encouraged to visit
our Caledonia website to schedule a virtual conference with subject
teachers. These conferences can be by
phone as in the fall. For this round, we
have added an online option as well.
Conferences can be scheduled for Tuesday evening – April 13th
- from 6-8 pm and again on Wednesday morning – April 14th – from 8:30
– 11:30 am. There is no school for
students in Grades 6 – 12 on Wednesday.
Our
cafeteria will re-open on Monday, April 12th. This is good news for all students in grades
6 through 12.
On
Monday the 12th, we welcome back all our high school students to
full time in school / in person learning.
Online teaching ends and the track system (A, B and C) dissolves on
Monday. Our updated and detailed Operational
Plan can be found on our school website under Quick Links and I have attached a
copy to my email message today for your convenience.
Our
Middle school will continue to operate as per our original Operational
Plan. The significant changes affect high
school operations.
·
Learning is full time and
in person for all high school students in grades 9 – 12.
·
Masks are always required
to be worn by students in grades 9 – 12 and by staff with these students. Exceptions for students are when they are seated
to eat or engaged in activities in Phys Ed class.
·
When outside, Public Health
Guidelines must be followed including masks worn in all public places. This includes our parking lot and village
sidewalks.
·
We have two distinct lunch
times – one for Grades 9 & 10 and one for Grades 11 & 12. This is to reduce the number of students in
our cafeteria and to provide this as a safe and physically distanced space for
our high school students. Middle School students will continue to eat in their supervised
classroom bubbles.
·
All staff and students
are reminded to complete passive screening each morning before coming into the
building. If staff or students are exhibiting
any one symptom from the list, they are reminded to follow the direction of
Public Health and not enter the building.
We
are on the home stretch in terms of the school year and we want to all work
together to hold the line. COVID-19 has
not gone away. There are cases appearing
in our province each day and the variants are also very worrisome. We know what a school closure does to student
learning because we have experienced it firsthand. Although we cannot fully prevent something like
this from happening again, we can rest easy knowing that we have done all we
can to lower the risk of transmission.
We will continue to passively screen, stay home when we are not feeling
well, sanitize our hands and our workstations, wear our masks in school and in
public, and maintain a safe physical distance.
I
want to thank you all for your continued co-operation this school year. The last time we were all together was March
13th 2020. I am very excited
to have all our students learning together in our building on Monday.
Have
a great weekend! See you Monday Tigers! |
| Today
is Tuesday, April 6th and this is Mrs. Godfrey with two quick messages
from Caledonia Regional.
First
– Parent / Teacher conferences will be held virtually again this semester – and
the dates are quickly approaching. Sign
up for your parent / teacher conference by visiting our Caledonia Website. You have a choice of phone interview (like in
the fall) or an online virtual option. Conferences are happening next week – Tuesday,
April 13th from 6 – 8 pm and again on Wednesday morning, April
14th from 8:30 – 11:30 am.
I
will reach out again this week with information about the safe return of all
high school students to in person learning beginning on Monday, April 12th.
Speaking
of April 12th – I received some wonderful news today. It looks like the plan is for our cafeteria
service to resume operation on Monday, April 12th. If something changes with that plan, I will
notify you later this week.
Have
a great evening. |
| Today
is April 1st and this is Mrs. Godfrey with a few messages from
Caledonia Regional.
The
first message is for our current Grade 11 students and their
parents. If you are interested in
applying to NBCC for after you graduate– applications opened today. There is a high demand for seats at NBCC and you
should apply as soon as possible if attending there is of interest to you. Secure your spot! All information about the application process
can be found on NBCC’s website and on the Guidance TEAMS page under post-secondary
information.
Last
week, we mailed letters to the homes of our students with information on how
parents could access the Parent Portal. This is an online tool that enables parents
and students to check attendance, schedules, graduation requirements, course selection,
historical grades, and report cards. Instructions were provided on how to create an
account and how to login initially. If
you need some additional support with this, please contact our Admin Assistant
at 734-3710.
Middle
School report cards went home with students this week on Wednesday, March 31st.
A
reminder that there is no school on Good Friday, April 2nd and
Easter Monday, April 5th. Tuesday,
April 6th is an in-person Track B day, Track A students will connect
with their teachers online.
Our
high school students will be all together joining us for in person learning beginning
April 12th. The Track system
will be dissolved on that day. Our revised
Operational Plan will be shared with our families next week.
Thank
you very much for listening. Have a
wonderful weekend. Take care. |
| Hello
everyone. Today is Thursday, March 25th
and this is Mrs. Godfrey with some messages from Caledonia Regional.
There
is no school tomorrow – Friday, March 26th – for all students at
Caledonia Regional High School. Because
we are a Grade 6 – 12 school and teachers teach multiple grade levels, our
teachers will all receive appointments tomorrow with Public Health for a COVID vaccination. This is happening throughout the province on
different days for high school teachers.
Once
again – there is no school for all students at Caledonia in Grades 6 through
12 tomorrow. There will also be no
learning at a distance for our high school students. This is a recently announced scheduled break
in instruction and learning. As such,
Monday, March 29th , will see Track B students attend school in
person and Track A will attend school online.
Middle
School students will receive Term 2 Report Cards next Wednesday,
March 31st.
We
are preparing for a return of all high school students to in person learning on
April 12th. I will
share our updated Operational Plan in the upcoming days as adjustments in the provincial
Return to School Document are communicated to us.
Thank
you for listening.
Have
a wonderful day – and students … have a wonderful long weekend. |
| Hello
everyone. Today is Thursday, March 18th
and this is Mrs. Godfrey with some messages from Caledonia Regional.
The
Guidance Counselor and Vice Principal have started the course selection process
for High School students. If you are
entering Grade 9, 10, 11 or 12 in the upcoming school year, now is the time to
start thinking about courses and pathways.
The week of April 6th, our Guidance Counselor and Vice
Principal will review course selections and begin guiding students through the
course selection process. Parents with
any questions about the course selection process are asked to contact our
Guidance Counselor directly. There is
also a Course Selection Planning section on each student’s Guidance TEAMS
site. The Provincial High School Course Selection
Guide is also available on the Anglophone East website.
Congratulations
is extended to our Senior High Girls’ Basketball Team who won the COVID NBIAA Basketball
Challenge banner for their division. They
will receive a banner and a $150 credit for a takeout team meal at a local
restaurant of their choice.
A
reminder that there is no school tomorrow – Friday, March 19th
- for middle school students. There is
online and in school for all high school students. Tomorrow is a scheduled in school day for
Track A High School. Track B will join
their teachers online.
I
continue to advocate for the re-opening of our cafeteria and there is a
district meeting scheduled for tomorrow.
We currently do not have cafeteria services available at the school as
they were cancelled due to lack of sales.
I will keep your posted.
Thank
you for listening. Have a wonderful day. |
| Hello
everyone. Today is Friday, March 12th
and this is Mrs. Godfrey with some messages from Caledonia Regional.
We
were pleased to return to school after the March break in the YELLOW zone. Our
students are doing a great job at wearing their masks in all common areas, sanitizing
their hands and workstations, and maintaining the required physical distance
inside the school. Now is the time to remain
as vigilant as possible – continuing to wear our masks even outside when we cannot
be 2 m apart, continuing to sanitize our hands and continuing to pay close
attention to our STEADY 15. Our Operational
Plan is always available on our school website.
Our
Middle School students attend school each day.
Caledonia High School students are doing excellent at connecting with
their teachers online during their home learning days. I would like to remind all high school
students to take full advantage of the days you are scheduled for in school
attendance. Learning in a class with a
teacher on site to guide you through each step of a lesson is a rich
opportunity and one that you should be taking full advantage of.
Monday,
March 15th, Track A High School students will be learning from school and Track
B students will join their class online.
Friday, March 19th, is a scheduled school day for high school
students - both at school and at home. There is no school for Middle
School students on that day.
Take
care and have a great weekend! Don’t
forget to spring your clocks ahead 1 hour this weekend. |
| Hello everyone. Today is Friday, February 26th and
this is Mrs. Godfrey from Caledonia Regional.
I wish all our students and their families
a wonderful break away from school next week – March 1st through
March 5th.
School will re-open on Monday, March 8th. High School Track B students will join us in
school and High School Track A students will join us online that day. We look forward to seeing all our Middle
School students that day.
If the current COVID situation remains
stable and cases continue to decline, we could see a move back to the YELLOW
level by midnight Sunday, March 7th.
This may mean that we may be able
to follow the YELLOW guidelines and expectations outlined in our Operational
Plan on the first day back after the break – Monday, March 8th. We
will review at that time.
Until then –
Stay safe Tigers and enjoy your March
break with family and friends. I am so
proud of the work we have accomplished together since the start of this school
year. You should be too.
Take care. |
| We are looking forward
to beginning Semester 2 tomorrow – Friday, February 5th. Track A students will be in school. Track B students will join us online.
School leaders had
previously discussed with Public Health the potential for increased face-to-face
teaching options at the high school level for second semester. The recent elevation of cases in the
province, and the concerns around the new COVID variants certainly have
impacted those decisions.
As we move into second
semester, we will focus on establishing and maintaining daily contact between subject
teachers and students enrolled in their class.
The following basic provincial expectations for semester 2 may be different
from what became habit in semester 1 – but are very similar to our 9 days of
Learning at a distance in January.
1.
There will be a minimum of 10 minutes per class dedicated
to a live virtual meeting with students at home for every class, every day.
2.
Subject teachers will manage each class as a single group
– with some of the group connecting online from home and some of the group present
in the classroom.
3.
Attendance will be taken every day –
whether in person or online. This is
where all students continue to follow our Learning at a Distance Plan when they
are connecting from home. Students can access
their online schedule by following the instructions Mrs. Lean has posted on her
Guidance site and that each Homeroom teacher has posted on their TEAMS sites.
These pieces will build
more accountability into our system, provide students with a more scheduled
approach to learning, and support the progression of curricular standards.
Increasing student
learning and a feeling of connectedness is critical. With the experience of Semester 1 behind us –
and our 9-day practice run of our Learning at a Distance Plan – the time
is right to ensure reasonable, consistent expectations that are focused on
student learning across the province.
Thank you for your commitment
to student learning.
Mrs. Godfrey

Good morning
from Caledonia Regional High School
There
has been much anxiety these past few weeks - first with a confirmed case of
COVID-19 in our school on Sunday, January 17th and later that week with
the province’s communication of the RED phase of COVID-19 recovery. School leaders and staff have discussed and
asked questions to better understand the guidelines and expectations for schools
moving forward in the RED phase.
Should
your child be feeling overwhelmed, please reach out to Ms. Lean – our Guidance
Counselor - or myself by phone or email.
There are also contact numbers and emails on the Caledonia website for
additional support.
I know
that some parents are concerned about sending students back to school. Protocols are being followed at the school to
reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission.
Added measures include active staff screening protocols and directives for
both staff and students to remain home with ONE symptom during the RED
phase of recovery.
Tomorrow,
Friday, January 29th, we will welcome Caledonia students
back to the building.
Friday
is the final day of Semester 1 for high school students. Some high school students can put the
finishing touches on semester 1 through their evidence of learning on TEAMS
following the same check in schedule as they have been following the past two
weeks. Some high school students will
need to take this final opportunity tomorrow to meet with their subject teachers
face to face. High School teachers will have
these discussions with students and families throughout the day today.
Middle
School teachers are looking forward to seeing their students in class tomorrow.
Parents
are reminded to report their child’s absence through School Messenger
when they are not able to attend school.
Distance Learning plans will continue to be in place for students:
1. Who are immunocompromised - or live with someone who is - and
have submitted a medical note to the school from their primary health care provider.
2. Who have been instructed by Public Health to self-isolate.
Monday and Tuesday, February 1 and 2,
there is no school for High School students as teachers of those subject areas prepare
for second semester courses. These are
designated as High School Turnaround Days.
The school is open for Middle School students on these 2 days. Semester 2 begins for High School on Wednesday,
February 3 and it will be a Track A day.
For the
rest of January and all of February, there will be no cafeteria service available
at Caledonia.
Thank
you for your understanding and support as we all continue to work through this
together while making the best decisions possible to support our students. Thank you for your commitment to our Learning
at a Distance Plan these last few weeks.
Sincerely,
Mrs.
Godfrey |
| Good afternoon
everyone. Today is Tuesday, January 19th
and this is Mrs. Godfrey with an update on our current situation.
The
remainder of this week – Wednesday,
January 20th , Thursday, January 21st, and Friday,
January 22nd – will be designated Home Learning Days for all Caledonia
students in Grades 6 through 12. Please
refer to our detailed Learning at a Distance Plan on our school website for
when and how each student will communicate with their teacher remotely. The remainder of this week will run much like
today.
High
School rotational attendance dissolves when Learning at a Distance – meaning both
Track A and Track B students should connect with their teacher at the
designated times.
Once
again, all students in grades 6 through 12 will remain home for the remainder
of this week Learning at a Distance.
Teachers will engage with students on the Office 365 TEAMS platform at identified
times throughout the day. We were well prepared today with our online
sessions and with learning packages for those students who have connectivity
issues, device issues and / or no internet.
Public
Health confirmed with me today that their contact tracing for the confirmed case
at Caledonia is complete. We are Learning
at a Distance this week because we are unable to fill vacant staff positions.
Thank
you for listening. Have a nice
evening. |
| Dear Parents
and Guardians:
Re: POSITIVE COVID-19 CASE AT CALEDONIA
REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
This is to
inform of a positive COVID-19 case in our school. We are working with Public
Health officials to identify any students and school personnel who may have
been in contact with the case.
We understand you may feel anxious over the
coming days. Public Health officials
will contact you if your child has been in close contact with the confirmed
case and will tell you if your child needs to self-isolate. If you are not
contacted by Public Health officials, your child can continue to attend school.
It is natural to want to know if your child may
have been exposed to the virus. Public Health officials will inform those who
are at risk of the next steps, but to protect the privacy of students and
school personnel, other details including names, will not be released.
Children and young people look to the
adults in their lives to guide them on how to react to worrying and stressful
events. Parents are encouraged to talk to their children about any anxieties
and remind them to treat one another with kindness and respect, in person and
on social media.
If your child is showing any symptoms of COVID-19, you
should:
1.
Register them online for a test by clicking “Get
tested” on the GNB corona virus website (www.gnb.ca/coronavirus), or
2.
Contact Tele-Care 811, or
3.
Contact your primary care provider.
The 811 operators or your primary care provider will
evaluate your child before sending them for testing.
Thank you for helping keep our school, community,
and province safe.
Caledonia will be closed on Monday, January 18th, 2021 to allow Public Health to complete contact tracing.
Sincerely,
Donna Godfrey
Principal

of Learning and Assessment Period begins on Monday, January 18th
for High School students and runs until Friday, January 29th. This
is not the traditional “Exam Week” known to many of us. This is a 2-week period over which teachers
and students put the finishing touches on semester 1. In some classes, there are evaluations, and
some classes are project learning based.
Each student in high school continues to attend each day of their
rotational attendance over the final 2 weeks of semester 1 and class periods
are followed. There are no 2-hour blocks
for “exams”.
Our
full and detailed Demonstration of Learning and Assessment Period Plan
is posted on our Caledonia website. Subject teachers have reviewed this with
all students over the past weeks. If you
have any subject specific questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your
child’s teacher.
Thank
you everyone for listening. I hope you all
find ways to enjoy this January weekend spending time with your family bubble.

With the increase of
COVID cases in our province, it seems as though we are heading in a difficult direction.
Word travels
quickly and rumors even more so. As a school
we take our direction for everything involving COVID from Public Health –
especially in terms of sharing information.
We will remember to be kind to each other, compassionate and caring because
that is the kind of community we are. I
see those same wonderful traits in our students at school each day.
At the
same time, we can’t dismiss the pandemic or falsely assume that this virus may
never affect us, our families or our friends.
Today, Dr. Jennifer Russell confirmed a positive case in Hillsborough
and also confirmed that Public Health has begun their investigation.
We want
to remain as safe as possible while respecting privacy and supporting each
other. Please continue to treat one another
with kindness and compassion. No one
should be subject to pressure or unkind comments on social media.
We are
so much further ahead than we were last year at this time in terms of maintaining
the pace of academic learning from home - should the school close - and in
terms of safety environmental measures in place. Now, learning resources are accessible to all
our students on their class TEAMS sites and staff and students follow a detailed
Operational Plan. This plan has
specific orange level alerts in place for both staff and students at the
present time. Mask wearing time has
increased, we sanitize our hands and our learning spaces more frequently, and we
maintain a safe physical distance both in class and outside of class. There are consistent reminders to take these
measures throughout the school day.
We will
not be making a full switch to online learning unless we receive direction from
Public Health and the Department to do so.
We have not activated our Learning at a Distance Plan at this
time. This Plan is posted on our school
website and provides detailed instructions on how students will connect with
their teachers in the event of a school closure due to Covid. Please review this plan. All teacher contact information is posted on
the website as well.
Students
can engage in activities posted on TEAMS sites at any time and reach out to
subject teachers with questions or clarification.
I would
like to remind all our students to take their learning materials home each
evening. We never know when / if school
could be closed nor would an individual receive much advanced notice from Public
Health to self-isolate. Middle School
students should take their snow pants and boots home each day as well.
We are
certainly navigating unchartered waters but will continue to take our direction
from Public Health, and follow the guidelines outlined in the Department’s
Return to School Document and our own Operational Plan. We
are well prepared with a communicated Learning at a Distance Plan –
should our school close - and we have an incredibly supportive staff. Continue to lean into the supports we have available. Take care of yourself, your family, and each
other.
Once
again, if we receive information that we need to pass along to our Caledonia
community from Public Health, we will not delay.
Thank
you.
Mrs. Godfrey |
| Happy
2021 everyone. Today is Sunday, January
3rd and this is Mrs.
Godfrey with a few messages from Caledonia Regional.
Tomorrow,
Monday, January 4th is the first day back to school for students and
staff. Tomorrow is a Track B day in the scheduled high school rotational
attendance.
A
reminder to all staff and students of mask wearing expectations while in the yellow
phase of recovery. Expectations are
outlined in our Operational Plan and have not changed since December. Students, please remember to wear your mask on
the bus tomorrow morning - and for those of you who walk or drive to school,
please remember to put your mask on prior to entering the school. Mask wearing is one preventative measure we
can take. Two other important preventative
measures are frequent hand washing and maintaining physical distancing. Social circles likely became
smaller over the holiday – as we spent time with immediate and close family
only. Tomorrow, we will begin sharing a
common space with several people and it is important that we all continue to be
vigilant.
Please
take a few minutes to visit our school website
- at caledonia@nbed.nb.ca. Located
here, you will find contact information for all staff and our detailed Covid-19
Operational Plan. You will also find
details explaining how students will access their teachers for daily learning in
the event of a school closure due to Covid.
These details are listed in our Learning At A Distance Plan. Also on the website are the details for the
end of term High School Assessment
and Demonstration of Learning Plan.
We
begin this year with hope. Tomorrow, we welcome
our Caledonia family back to school. Welcome back everyone.
Have a
wonderful evening.

is Friday, December 18th and this is Mrs. Godfrey with a few
messages from Caledonia Regional.
Our detailed
Learning At A Distance Plan is posted on the home page of our website – caledonia@nbed.nb.ca. In the event of a school closure due to Covid-19,
all the details are there explaining how students will access their teachers
for daily learning.
We had a
great time playing Christmas Bingo this week.
Lots of winners were announced
and most importantly, we raised $419 and donated it all to the Anglophone East
Fill the Bus Campaign. The money will be
used to purchase food for the Food Bank.
A huge
shout out to the Rocks for their donation of $1250 to our Breakfast
Program. Your generosity is
amazing! Each morning a breakfast bowl
containing fresh fruit, packaged snacks, and bagged cereals is delivered to each
classroom – Grade 6 through 12.
As 2020
ends, I would like to wish you all a time of rest with your family for the upcoming
Christmas holiday. After what has been a challenging spring,
summer, and fall, I extend my appreciation to each student, parent, grandparent,
caregiver, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who have worked with us caring
and supporting our youth.
Thank
you very much for listening. Merry
Christmas and Happy 2021! |

is Wednesday, December 9th and this is Mrs. Godfrey with a
few messages from Caledonia Regional.
Our Student
Council has planned a theme week for next week – beginning Monday, December
14th. Check out the daily themes on our school calendar
on our website.
Monday – Students
are encouraged to wear something red and / or green.
Tuesday
– Students are encouraged to wear an ugly Christmas sweater.
Wednesday
– a holiday hat
Thursday
– holiday socks and sandals
Friday – is pajama
day.
We are
sharing a Microsoft Teams challenge with our Middle School students. Students in grades 6, 7, and 8 are encouraged
to log into Office 365, connect with their TEAMS site for their
homeroom, follow the “FORMS” link, and complete and submit a fun
questionnaire. The homeroom class
with the highest level of participation will be treated to lunch from the
cafeteria on Tuesday of next week. The challenge
opened today – Wednesday - at 9 am and will close this Friday, December 11th
at 9 pm. This is something that students
should be able to do from home. The winning class will be announced on Monday
and treated to a free lunch from the cafeteria on Tuesday.
Finally
– Caledonia will be donating to the Anglophone East Fill the Bus Campaign. Students can purchase Bingo cards from their
homeroom (first period) teacher for 2$ each.
Throughout the day on Wednesday
& Thursday – December 16th and 17th – we will play the
game and several winners will be announced throughout the day – each receiving
a special treat. All proceeds from
the activity will be donated to the Fill the Bus Campaign.
Thank
you very much for listening. Have a
wonderful evening. |
| Today is Thursday,
December 3rd and this is Mrs. Godfrey with a few messages from
Caledonia Regional.
Report cards went home
with Middle School students on Tuesday, December 1st. Caledonia’s parent / teacher conferences were
held for all students on November 19th and 20th. However, if you have any questions about
comments or achievement levels, please reach out to your son / daughter’s
teacher.
A HUGE thank you to our
Caledonia community for supporting our first Grad Fundraiser – cookie dough and
muffin mix. Our grads missed not serving
meals at the Albert County Exhibition this year – and just missed not having
the Fair in general. The graduating class
of 2021 hosted an online fundraiser and raised $1200 which they will put
towards their end of school year activities.
Thank you to our communities for your generosity in helping our grads.
Our amazing Caledonia
Student Council has some fun activities scheduled for the students at Caledonia
in the upcoming weeks. Students are
encouraged to listen to the morning announcements and participate fully.
A reminder that there is
no school for students tomorrow – Friday, December 4th. Students return to Caledonia on Monday, December
7th – and that will be a Track B day.
Thank you very much for
listening. Have a wonderful
evening.

is Monday, November 16th and this is Mrs. Godfrey with some messages
from Caledonia Regional.
Pre-ordering
for yearbooks – at a price of $55 including personalization – ends this Friday,
November 20, 2020.
Grad
Photos will be taken Tuesday, November 17th and Wednesday, November
18th in the Library. Sitting
fee is $20 and can be paid on school cash online or at the front Office.
High
School Report cards have gone home with students. If you were absent the day report cards were
handed out, please see your Period 5 teacher for your report card.
Middle
School Report cards will go home with students on December 1st.
As
a cautionary measure, parent / teacher conferences this fall will not be held
in person here at the school. Parents
can schedule a phone conference with their child’s teacher by visiting our
school website – caledonia.nbed.nb.ca and clicking on the Parent / Teacher
conference link located on the home page.
Select a teacher name from the dropdown, Choose November 19th
or 20th on the calendar, and a 10-minute time slot that works for you. Don’t forget to give your full name and phone
number so that the teacher can call you on that date and time. If there are no times available, please reach
out to teachers by email and they will work out a communication plan with
you. Check on the Meet the Team link at the
top of the website for staff pictures and a listing of subjects and grade
levels taught.
There
is no school for students this Friday, November 20th. This
means that Monday, November 23rd is a Track A day. Tracks are indicated on our website – under the
Events link at the top of the page. Scheduled closures of school – those
closures scheduled on the school calendar – do not impact high school
attendance. Thursday, November 19th
is a Track B day. There is no school scheduled
for Friday, November 20th. Monday,
November 23rd would, therefore, be a scheduled Track A day.
If
school were closed because of weather, high school attendance is impacted. For example, if school were closed due to a snowstorm
on a Track A day, and school opened the day following the storm – it would be a
Track B day. Track A would lose their day in school.
The
simplest way to keep high school attendance straight is to refer to the
calendar on our school website - @ caledonia.nbed.nb.ca |
| Today
is Friday, November 6th and this is Mrs. Godfrey from Caledonia with
a few messages.
Pre-sale
for personalized yearbooks has been extended until November 20th.
This
year, we are fortunate to have 2 senior basketball teams. Thank you to our volunteers for working with
us to enable us to do this safely and following Public Health guidelines and
expectations. The Operational Plan for
senior basketball can be found on our school website within our school Operational
Plan as an Appendix.
A
few reminders of important dates:
- Picture retakes are scheduled for Monday
and Tuesday of next week – November 9th and 10th.
- Immunizations
for Grade 7 students and Grade 9 Track B are scheduled for Friday,
November 13th.
- Immunizations
for Grade 9 Track A students are scheduled for Monday, November 16th.
- High
School report cards will go home with students on Thursday and Friday of
next week – November 12th and 13th.
- Parent
/ Teacher conferences will be held by phone this year and are scheduled for
Thursday evening, November 19th, and Friday morning, November
20th. On the Caledonia Regional
High School website, you will find a link that reads “Meet the Team” – with
a picture of each staff member and teaching assignments of teachers. On our home page, there is a link to
book a phone appointment with a teacher for parent / teacher conferences. Our website is caledonia.nbed.nb.ca. You can reach it by that address or from
the School link on the Anglophone East website.
Each
year, we are proud to host two Remembrance Day Services – one prior to
Remembrance Day for our staff and students and one on the Day of Remembrance –
November 11th – for our communities.
This year, there are restrictions
in place for our protection and risk mitigation measures due to what is the global
pandemic -COVID-19. Although our acts
of remembrance may look different – they will still have a powerful
impact.
We
have put together a Video of Remembrance for our students which will be shared with
all our students during the instructional day on Tuesday, November 10th.
The video will also be shared with our
Caledonia families on our Caledonia FB page later that day. Period 1 teachers are asked to add it to
their TEAMS site so students engaged in distance learning from home that day may
pause and reflect with us at the same time.
I invite you all to pause, reflect and remember with the students and
staff of Caledonia Regional High School.
On
Wednesday, November 11th school is closed in honor of those who paid
the ultimate sacrifice. The eleventh
hour of the eleventh day in the eleventh month, our nation will observe a moment
of silence to remember those who fought and died for our country and for our
freedom. Caledonia will remember.
Thank
you very much for listening. |
