Upcoming Activities
Periodically RES will host a special “spirit” day. These are fun activities that students and staff can participate in together to make RES not only a learning experience but also a fun place to be and to show our school spirit. These events are organized by our Student Council students.
The Student Council group have decided on “Twin” Day which will be on October 24th.
Plan to dress a friend, a sibling, or dress like someone famous or special to you. Twins, triplets or more. Have fun!!!
Each month RES will be focusing on Character Education Program, “Seven Sacred Teachings.” This is part of the provincial mandate to begin including more FNMI content into AB Education.
The Seven Sacred Teachings are the traits of: Respect, Love, Courage, Honesty, Wisdom, Humility & Truth.
The traditional concepts of respect and sharing that form the foundation of the Aboriginal way of life are built around the seven natural laws, or sacred teachings. Each teaching honors one of the basic virtues in intrinsic to a full and healthy life.
Each law is embodied by an animal to underscore the point that all actions and decisions made by man are manifest on a physical plain. The animal world taught man how to live close to the earth, and the connection that has been established between the animal world and that of man has instilled a respect for all life in those who follow the traditional Aboriginal way.
RESPECT—BUFFALO
LOVE/CARING—EAGLE
COURAGE—BEAR
HONESTY—SABE
WISDOM—BEAVER
HUMILITY—WOLF
TRUTH—TURTLE
Teachers will contact those parents of students that will be receiving an award.
Retakes will be done on Wednesday, November 6th @ 9 AM for those students that were absent or require a retake. Please note that you MUST have returned your proof envelope on October 24th indicating that you required retakes if a picture had been taken.
Thursday, November 7th @ 10:45 AM - Student and Staff Assembly

The 2019 Christmas Concert will on Wednesday, December 18th at the Peter Lougheed Community Centre starting at 12:30 pm; doors are unlocked at 12 noon. Audience members will only be allowed through the main entrance of the Community Centre as all other entrances will be used by our Staff to bring students into the Community Centre.
Students will be brought into the auditorium when their class is ready to perform. All students will remain at the school for regular classes until the dismissal time of 3:11 pm.
We would ask that parents make arrangements to stay for the entire Concert. It is very disheartening for the performers towards the end of the concert to a half empty auditorium.
Grades 4, 5 & 6 students will be going skiing to Canyon Ski Hill (Red
Deer) on Friday, January 10, 2020. Parent volunteers must have a current:
Vulnerable Sector Check on file with the school (this is good for 3
years)
Criminal Declaration on file with the school (completed yearly)
Volunteer Application on file with the school (completely yearly)
Please note, this is a ski trip for RE upper elementary students and their
parents/guardians who are volunteering to assist during the ski trip. It is
not for other guests or younger or older siblings who are not in grades 4
–6.
Parents will need to arrange their own transportation to and from
Canyon Ski Hill. The consent form with further information will be sent
home with students in early December. Fees will be applied and
payment to be made through the online Parent Portal and will be due,
along with the signed consent and payment receipt number, back to your
child’s homeroom teacher by December 17th @ 9 AM. Unfortunately,
we are unable to extend the deadline as all numbers must be confirmed
with the ski hill at that time.
Payments are made through Parent Portal and RYCOR payment module.
Should you require assistance please contact the school office directly
before the deadline date as issues may take up to 48 hours to “fix”.
Through 7 distinct "Safety Smarts" presentations, rural children from kindergarten through grade six are taught to recognize and react safely to a wide variety of potential farm hazards. Age appropriate, hands-on, interactive farm safety messages are taught to individual classes of rural students; with each grades presentation having a unique focus.
"Safety Smarts" presentations are offered to ALL schools in rural Alberta
In response to a recently released 20 year study of agriculture-related injuries and fatalities in Alberta, we have updated the focus of many "Safety Smarts" presentations to ensure that the safety concepts we teach respond to the real risks being encountered by rural children. The majority of non-work related fatalities on Alberta farms involve children and youth (0-14 years).
RES classes are each given a 45 minute safety presentation.
