Dear Parents and Students,
My name is Lance Castonguay. I am
writing to introduce myself and give you some information that will help you
support your child.
I have been a teacher in School District 43 since 1996. For the past 3 years I have been teaching as
a Faculty Associate for Professional Programs in the Faculty of Education at
Simon Fraser University. Prior to that I
taught at Heritage Woods Secondary for 7 years, Gleneagle Secondary for 6 years,
and Como Lake Junior and Middle for 2 years.
I am excited to be back teaching at Heritage Woods and working with your child.
I am committed to ensuring
your child is provided with every opportunity to meet the learning outcomes and
excel in their course. With this goal
in mind I have created some tools to support your child and keep you informed as
to what we will be working on in class.
I have created a blog, mrcastonguay.blogspot.ca
which has daily updates for all my classes.
The blog includes information about what we are working on, the assignments
and homework for the day.
The blog also has a link to engrade.com where I will post
the marks for all assignments I collect online.
I will update these marks once a week.
Early next week your child will be bringing home a password for
engrade.com. You can login with this
password and use it to keep track of your child’s progress from this point
forward. For those students and parents who do not
speak English as their first Language and would prefer to view the blog in
another language, I have put in a Google Translate Button at the bottom of the
left menu bar. This will convert all
text in the blog to whichever language you choose from the drop down menu. I
encourage all students to use the blog and welcome all parents to visit the blog
and stay informed.
I will be available in room 215 for flex.
If there is anything I can do to support your child in their
learning please feel free to contact me at the school or through my district
email lcastonguay@sd43.bc.ca
I look forward to working with your child.
Thank you for your attention,
Lance Castonguay
