🎓 A Plan, A Goal & A Future!

Today was one of those days that reminds us why we do what we do at St. Albert Learning Centre. ❤️

Kianna first connected with St. Albert through our wonderful partnership with Community Builders, where she explored her interest in the skilled trades while also beginning to think about completing her education.

Through this partnership, Kianna has been able to earn credits toward her Ontario Secondary School Diploma and begin building a pathway toward graduation.

Today, Kianna and her mom came into St. Albert to talk about her goals, mapped out her remaining requirements and, most importantly, created a plan.

✨ The goal: OSSD — June 2027! 🎓

Kianna will be back with us on September 8, ready to continue working toward her diploma and the future she is creating for herself.

This is what community partnerships and adult education can do meet learners where they are and help them find a pathway forward.

If you’re 18 or older and didn’t finish high school, maybe life simply got in the way. Whether it’s been one year or many years since you’ve been in school, it’s never too late to come back.

Your previous education, work and life experiences may bring you closer to graduation than you think.

❤️💛 Come see us at St. Albert Learning Centre. Your OSSD may be closer than you realize!

Some great advice from our sister school- St Francis Catholic Elementary School

⏰ Every Minute Matters — Being on Time for School! 🎒📚

Mornings can be busy, but arriving at school on time every day makes a big difference for elementary students.

When children arrive on time, they have an opportunity to settle in, connect with their teacher and classmates, and begin the day feeling calm, confident and ready to learn. ❤️

Being on time also means students don’t miss those important first minutes of the day when teachers are often:

* 📝 Explaining the day’s activities and routines
* 📖 Beginning literacy or numeracy instruction
* 📢 Sharing important announcements and information
* 🤝 Building classroom community

Even arriving 10 minutes late each day adds up to almost an hour of missed learning every week! Over the course of a school year, those minutes can become more than 30 hours of missed instructional time.

Just as importantly, regularly arriving late can make it harder for children to transition into a classroom where learning has already begun.

🌟 A great school day starts with being there from the beginning.

At St. Francis School, our school day begins at 8:55 a.m. Students can arrive beginning at 8:40 a.m., when morning supervision starts.

We know that an occasional late morning happens to every family. Our goal is simply to build strong habits together and help our students understand that being at school, on time and ready to learn, matters. ❤️🔥

Thank you, St. Francis families, for helping our Flames start each day ready to shine! 🔥

Depending on the credits you already have and your PLAR assessment, you could earn your OSSD in as little as 6 months🎓

✨ Classes open September 8, 2026
🏠 Work from home, at school — or both
⏰ Work at your own pace
📚 Flexible programming designed for adult learners
🤝 Individual support to help create your graduation pathway

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉

We’re thrilled to share that our Learning for a Sustainable Future project, “Waste into Works of Art ♻️🎨,” has officially been published on the Our Canada Project website!
