PAT Schedule for Grade 6 and 9

Alberta Education has released its dates for Provincial exams.  All Grade 6 and 9 students complete standardized testing in core subjects.  The only exception is in Grade 6 Science this year, in which the province is not having the Grade 6 students participate.  This is the first year of the new Grade 6 science curriculum.  

The test results do not comprise part of the CBE report card, however individual results are communicated to families.

We request families consider the following dates and plan family events, tournament participation, or other absences from school at alternative times.  Please ensure your child is present at school leading up to, and on the dates of PAT’s.

Middle School Awards & K-4 Shout Outs

As part of the Middle Years initiative at Griffith Woods we will be starting a monthly award program for grades 5-9 students that is geared towards specific qualities.  We have taken GREY WOLVES and created a value for each letter that we feel is fitting for our population. As we are already into month 5 we will just be using WOLVES for the remainder of this year. Teachers will be choosing 1 student a month in each grade from 5-9 to celebrate.  For the month of January we are looking at: WORK ETHIC - A student who makes responsible decisions, persevering through challenges, and stays reliable and consistent. 

In K-4 we have ‘Shout Outs’ where students get nominated by there teachers and staff for doing great things in the school.  Then on Fridays we draw names and recognize the students selected.
