As your child takes their first steps into school, we want them to know that Xxxxxxxx is more than just a place for academics; it's a second home. The physical and mental safety, growth, and happiness of our students are a top priority. We are proud to offer a safe and inclusive environment where your child can explore, discover, and interact with their peers to respect each other’s differences and make new connections and friendships. At Macomber, we offer a well-rounded education that not only focuses on academic growth but also nurtures creativity, critical thinking, and character development. Early childhood education is significant in creating and shaping a child’s social interactions and learning potential. As we begin this new chapter together, we are committed to providing the best possible educational experiences to guide your child’s learning and development. Students will participate in an array of activities to ignite their imagination and fuel their motivation. Early literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving will be achieved through hands-on activities, interactive learning, and discussions for your child to express curiosity, understanding, and enthusiasm. Our dedicated staff works together to fill each day with encouragement and inspiration that support the building blocks for a solid foundation. At Macomber, we work along with families to instill essential values like kindness, empathy, and respect in our students. Together, we'll guide each child to become confident, hard-working, and compassionate individuals who make a positive difference in the world. We understand that your child’s first years at school are important milestones for both you and your child, and we are here to make this transition as smooth and enjoyable as possible. We encourage open communication and welcome your involvement to guide and support your child's progress. We look forward to building a strong partnership with you and seeing those eager little faces ready to learn each day! Once again, welcome to our school! Together, let's make this school year a joyful and memorable one for your child. Sincerely, Xxxxxx X.Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx School Principal SCHOOL INFORMATION
Xxxxxxxx School. This began with the intention of promoting the importance of eating a healthy breakfast “Food for Thought”, where once a month we make a hot/cold breakfast for the students/members of Kebaowek. We also take this opportunity to share information by way of group discussions about healthy eating and providing students with an opportunity to try new foods. Kebaowek Breakfast Program Newsletter Articles: Monthly articles are submitted that help promote an activity or to inform members about a certain topic that will enhance and educate them about healthy lifestyles. Monthly Display Table: This year we have introduced a display table at the entrance of the Health Centre that is focused on monthly health topic themes. This gives the members the opportunity to explore the information that is displayed. Hepatitis C Awareness Strategy: This year we will be focusing on including the older age groups (adults/elders) in providing prevention and awareness information to each member in specific age and genders groups, this is to provide all members with information about Hepatitis C in a variety of areas not only for safe sex but for traveling and aging. Increasing knowledge is the key to prevention. Spring Health Fair: This is an annual event where we have the opportunity to screen random members for Diabetes, Cholesterol, and Blood Pressure, which can help in early detection. This also gives us the opportunity to focus on one or several topics; such as information about the importance of sunscreen, healthy eating habits, and so on. We are able to answer any questions our members may have and share valuable information with them such as pamphlets and info sheets. This year we presented a Lentil and pepper dip along with the recipe, for people to sample, in hopes to show that healthy snacks can be delicious, although very hesitant at the beginning to try something new, this approach turned out to be very effective. Breakfast with Santa: Once again, we took the opportunity to promote healthy eating, and by participating in this event we have an influence on the menu that is served for the breakfast, which helps teach parents the importance of a nutritious breakfasts for the whole family. Workshops: We hosted a variety of workshop, where we again invited Xx.

Xxxxxxxx School. Occupancy DCV uses a signal from the lighting occupancy sensor to open the outdoor air damper only when people are using the space served. Therefore, the UV is not conditioning air unnecessarily. To verify savings the occupancy levels in the spaces served were monitored in conjunction with the outdoor air damper position and unit status. The percent reduction in hours during occupied periods was inputted into the calc. The following sections detail the results at each school. Total savings for demand control ventilation control strategy equaled $12,816 in realized savings, which is $8,161 in excess of the guaranteed savings of $4,656 (Table 41).

Overall, a larger reduction in hours (85.51%) was observed than expected 25%. This was primarily due to several classroom’s showing 0% occupancy sensor, damper closed throughout this annual period. Normal operation was observed in July but it is not clear when the change happened due to missing trend data in August and September 2016. From October 2016 to June 2017 the UVs were in ‘Day’ mode continuously (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) but were not conditioning outdoor air. Siemens recommends that MSAD investigate these locations for manual overrides and operation of the occupancy sensors. The following table outlines the summary of trended values from this Annual Period. Further details can be found in the appendix.
