Principals Report

  • New parking lot lighting has been installed, along with fencing and electrical hook-up.
  • A new bank of lockers has been added and Phase 3 of T-bar ceiling has been completed.
  • The top half of the gym was painted and the outside of the building.
  • The overall feel in the school is positive and cleanliness from students is happening.
  • Grade 9’s were well received, are feeling comfortable and the Grade 12’s are helping.
  • There is no Synervoice and is not known when it will be available.
  • On November 21 and 22, Pat Ilchena, Paul Fust and L. McKetchen will attend a meeting with other schools and Manitoba Education regarding the Phys Ed. Program.
  • 30 Credits will now be required for Graduation with no additions to staffing.
  • Enrollment at 711 students.

Open Forum

  • Concern that students are restricted with regards to the optional courses available.
  • Louis Riel Arts and Tech Center – reports of it being a good program.
  • Computers were down for the first 3 weeks of school due to a problem with Networking configuration – this was a huge issue for all users (students, staff and Administration). There were concerns regarding the lack of communication between Divisional Office and Parents. The Computers are now up and running – on the agenda for November PAC Meeting.
  • There wasn’t a Senior Boys Volleyball Team because there was no coach – suggested that communication was needed within the Parent community in order to recruit coaches and perhaps a screening process needs to be in place – also suggested that a School Volunteer Involvement form could go out with registration in June.

Gladys reported that in July of 2006 the School Board set aside $200,000.00 for school grounds in the Division, which would include Springfield Recreation, 6 Schools and 3 Colonies.

Next Meeting – November 6 at 7pm in SCI Library
