💻New Feature! Daily Agenda Page!

Posted on by

We’ve added a brand new feature to MsStephensismyteacher.com! The Daily Agenda is now available for parents to view!

Since the first day of school, Students *must* fill out their agenda every day at the end of the school day. If they show me a completed agenda, I place a scratch n’ sniff sticker on their entry! The agenda must go home every night and come back every morning in order to be used properly.

The Daily Agenda page here at the BLOG is a comprehensive list in case the agenda has been forgotten at school, or if someone is absent, or if the agenda becomes lost.

To view the ‘Daily Agenda’, please click on the link at the top of the page, or side bar, depending on if you’re viewing the BLOG on a phone, tablet, or laptop.

If you have any questions or concerns or ideas to improve the BLOG, please send me an email any time!

🙂

🗣📢Progress Reports Available Today!

Posted on by

Here are the instructions about accessing the progress reports…

(Just please note, I’m unable to give OEN numbers over email! If you can’t find the OEN number, you must call the school tomorrow between 8am and 4pm and ask for it over the phone!)

OCDSB parents/caregivers, guardians and eligible students receive report cards directly in their email. This enables easy and secure access to report cards.

Parents/caregivers and guardians, who have provided their email addresses to their child’s school, will receive an email from the school that contains the link to download the secure PDF report card. Students in grades 7-12 will receive the report card link in their OCDSB student email addresses. Students who are over 18 years of age, can receive the report card link in their personal emails if they have indicated that as their preference to the school.

Enter the Ontario Education Number (OEN) to access the report card. When entering the OEN, please include the hyphens (dashes). The format should be XXX-XXX-XXX. The OEN can be found on any previous provincial report cards.

For students with alternative learning expectations documented in their Individual Education Plan (IEP), an Alternative Report Card is being issued along with the provincial report card.

We request parents, guardians and eligible students (over 18 years of age) to verify their email address with their child’s school. For parents and guardians without an email account, please contact your child’s school for assistance.

📢Upcoming Storytelling Workshop

Posted on by

On Thursday, we are very fortunate to have a guest speaker coming into our classroom to deliver a storytelling workshop. This is a wondeful opportunity brought to us by the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM). Fatemah Anvari is an incredible facilitator with a background in education and advocacy.

Title: Storytelling: Reclaiming Your Narrative

Time: Thursday, November 20th; 12-1pm
Description: In this engaging and creative workshop, students will use storytelling, writing, and art to explore how stories shape the way we see ourselves and others. Together, they’ll unpack common myths about Muslims and learn how to tell stories that reflect empathy, inclusion, and truth. Through these activities, students will also learn what it means to be an ally, standing up against all forms of hate and helping to build a more welcoming school and community for everyone.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
