As we near June, we are winding down the Challenge Centre Program. This year, I worked 4 days, and I serviced 265 students - more than I have ever worked with before. Consequently, this year has been busy, and I have had a difficult time keeping on top of the administrative duties of my job. I chose to service students over paperwork, and now the paperwork is looming.
If you have not yet received a "challenge centre certificate", you will be receiving one by mid June. My goal is that the certificates will go home with the child's final report.
As well, I hope to get back to the schools, information detailing: the students we serviced from your school, the students that did not receive servicing, and the students that were tested this year. It is hoped that this information will be used to track students at your school, to have discussions about students that need servicing next year, and finally, for schools to make collaborative decisions about students that need enrichment and inquiry based initiatives. We are hoping to get this to the schools in June.
Finally, there was information circulating that applications for the challenge centre for next year are due on May 31st. This is not the case, however, we would like it if schools are beginning to think about students that need servicing next year. Since you have worked closely with the students and know their strengths, it is good to have discussions about these students now, instead of waiting until the fall when it takes a while to get routines established with a new teacher.
So, there will be information coming out to the schools shortly.
