Hello Division 4,

Our wonderful Mrs. Anania has been working diligently on updating our Office 365 Word passwords and I have just received them.

Some of you may have tried to login earlier, but there has been a change to the passwords.

When you login to Microsoft Office at the top of the Buckingham website, you will need your LOGIN number which is the same one that should be in your planner. This is the student number you use to login to the laptops at school except you need to add @edu.burnabyschools. ca  at the end

For example:  1234567@edu.burnabyschools.ca,

Your PASSWORD should be the same but add the three exclamation marks at the end.

For example:   Before- tin7                 Now – tin7!!!

As a result, this is how this student would login:

SIGN IN:    1234567@edu.burnabyschools.ca

PASSWORD:     tin7!!!

So if you have time, your homework today is:

1. Try to login to Office 365 at the top of the Buckingham website .
2. Once you are in. Go to Teams 365_BWong.
3. Click onto the the Files Tab at the top and review the Digital Citizenship Pdf before you post.
4. Go to the Post tab at the top, click on it and send  a  “Hello” to everyone after my post from yesterday.

I miss seeing all of your smiling faces, but we still can stay connected. I will be calling your family tomorrow so please let your parents know if you need your login and password again.

Take care and stay healthy!

These are the new links to help support your learning

•  The homepage link for   Burnaby School District’s Continue Learning
• The Link for some activities specifically for Grade 4/5
• The Ministry of Education has created a Keep Learning Website to provide resources for  families.

I will also add these links to my Bookmarks on my Blog page.

Take care everyone!

Dear Division 4 Students and Families, 

I hope you all are doing well. Like everyone,  I have been practicing social distancing.  As a result,  I feel fine and rested. 

I know Spring Break has probably gone differently than you had planned, but hopefully, you were still able to go out for walks/exercise and to get some fresh air. 

As you know, in order to maintain physical distancing, all BC schools are trying to transition to online learning. I will be phoning and contacting all Division 4 families on either Thursday or Friday to see how you are doing and how our school can help you with this transition. 

The Burnaby School Board has plans to set up a Continuing Learning Website sometime this week. This will be another tool to support both you and your parents with your learning. 

I will also continue to use this blog and/or our Class Teams (0365-19_BWong) to relay any information,  assignments and to give support.    

For now, please take the time to think about how you can plan your online school days to be successful once the transition begins. Please consider the following questions: 

• What time(s) is best for me to focus on learning? 
• Where can I work in my home? 
• When can I have access to a laptop or an iPad that is connected to the internet? 
•  Will I need to share these devices with my family members? 
• What kind of brain breaks can I incorporate into my routine? (e.g., go for a walk, do some sketching) so I feel ready to learn.   

Please remember everyone that this all new and we are in this together!  

Take care and stay safe! 

Ms. Wong
