Fall into October Learning
Welcome to CBE Connections
Joanne Pitman, Chief Superintendent
It’s Prime Time for Learning!
October is one of the best months for learning. By this time, your child knows their school, teacher and classmates a little better and is participating in regular routines. At home, families can also help by creating strong routines. This might include setting clear goals for homework, meals, physical activities and bedtimes. Reach out to your child’s teacher if you have any questions or concerns. We are ready to support your child’s success!

What Could Your Child’s Digital Future Look Like?
The CBE has launched an exciting “Digital Future Pathways” collegiate. This is an online and in-person learning environment that prepares high school students for the rapidly growing technology ecosystem, while connecting them with career interests and workplace pathways. As students progress through Grade 12, they may participate in dual-credit opportunities to get a jump start on their post-secondary education and workplace experience.
