A message from Mr. Hamby: 

As you know, we have been given guidelines from Alberta Education that mandates we provide 5 hours of schoolwork per week focused on literacy and math. We also hope to offer some optional activities that you might consider having a look at towards the bottom of the template.  Each week we also hope that you will be able to determine a schedule that works best for your family.  We ask that you please be patient with this process as we all know technology can be a bit bumpy at times.
