Dear Tennyson Families,

Thank you in advance for completing the district gradual return to in-class instruction survey, which helps schools/our district to guide planning.  We wanted to let you know of some information that is now posted to the VSB Website that you might find helpful and informative.  The FAQ may answer some questions that you might have.

Have a great day, and as always, we continue to provide you with regular Continuity of Learning updates.
May 15th Tennyson Continuity of Learning Update
Dear Tennyson Families,
I hope this update message finds you well, ahead of a long weekend.  I also hope that you all have a chance to relax a bit and have fun together over the next three days.  Here are a few updates:

Continuity of Learning Update
It was a busy week with teachers and support staff connecting and working with students in a variety of ways.  I enjoyed being in a number of the classes and see the learning happening.  As always, a big thank you to both our parents/guardians and our staff for working through the “learning-at-home” context.

You likely know that there was a provincial press conference today regarding planning for in-school learning on a part-time basis.  I know that this may bring up a number of questions from our families.  Our district staff team is working, alongside our stakeholder partners, on the local VSB plans for schools.  As always, I will communicate updates to families as plans develop.  You may wish to follow VSB twitter @VSB39 for district updates and new on a variety of things.  We continue to work with our four guiding principles being the focus during this time: 
  • Health and Safety of students, staff, parents, community
  • Communication
  • Connections & Community
  • Continuity of Learning​
Thank you to all of our families for your continued tremendous support, patience, and understanding!
 
Indigenous Education Focus Pro-D
Today’s Provincial Indigenous Education Focus Professional Development day was an excellent learning opportunity for our staff!  Teachers and support staff engaged (virtually) in collabroative learning from Indigenous Educators, elders, and storytellers.  We had the opportunity to explore many things, including:
  • indigenous curriculum and learning concepts
  • have conversations about, and planning around, reconciliation, indigenous knowledge and ways being and learning
  • cultural/historical awareness and teaching
 
Tennyson e-Library 
I wanted to again provide the login and password for for the Tennyson/VSB e-library.  Here it is:

Have a great weekend!

Portion of the May 6 message from M Roch

Our VSB superintendent recently posted to the VSB website an video/article entitled “Looking Ahead and Continuing to Adapt”.  This is from the beginning of the message: "With lots of thoughts and ideas percolating about what the Provincial Government's eventual loosening of restrictions will mean, people are wondering too what that means for schools. In her latest video update, Vancouver School District Superintendent Suzanne Hoffman shares the District's thinking about what that may look like."

Here is the link (you may need to cut and paste):  https://www.vsb.bc.ca/news/_layouts/15/ci/post.aspx?oaid=74b4fc78-16a6-4115-9b8c-a10eba718e8a&oact=20001
