Student-led conferencing at Gordon F. Kells High School occurs Nov. 25 and 26, from 5-8 p.m.  

A new reporting system called EDSBY has been rolled out for parents to use in order to see students’ attendance and marks. Its purpose is to improve electronic communication between school and home. There is no substitute, however, for talking with a student’s teacher(s).  

What we want is for all parents to be able to check in on attendance, assessments and to get information about what is going on in the school. If something doesn’t sound right to you, please arrange for a conference with the teacher. They can be emailed to arrange for a conference time. 

As always, pandemic responses by our school are constantly under review. Restrictions at this time have been loosened in terms of student cohorts being able to engage in more sporting activities during physical education classes and allowing intramurals at noon hour.  

As the weather gets colder, we know this will be a great thing for kids. Otherwise, your school is prepared for anything that comes its way during this pandemic. Our students have been doing a great job of adjusting to the new routines and we would like to acknowledge the support of our community.   

You can order online picture packages by following the instructions in your package. Picture retake day was Nov. 19.  

Though we were unable to have a live Remembrance Day program this year, the students watched a recorded GFK Remembrance Day program, which included student readings and videos. Students also put up Remembrance Day bulletin board and images in the GFK hallways.  

The band will be doing the annual fruit and cookie dough sale, but the company isn’t doing anything this fall. The band students plan to start selling in January with delivery in March. Thank you for your continued support of the band program in Carlyle.  

All your school information can be found on the GFK website on the 鶹Ƶeast Cornerstone School Division website under the “schools” tab.
