Students
Students, you are the core of what we do! We hope to encourage your curiosity, creativity, and growth! Make sure you and your parents are connected through email, Google Classroom, SeeSaw, or other methods.

Alberta Ed Student Learning Hub
Parents, guardians, and teachers can access resources to support student growth and learning. Find links for educational materials to develop literacy and numeracy, along with health and wellness information. Visit the Hub often for new resources and updates.
Personal Schedule
Each teacher or school will provide a schedule for when you will need to connect on Google Meet for live instruction, and when you will need to learn independently or in small groups.
There will be flexibility with learning, but it is important to realize school and learning needs to be the focus for the day, just like when learning in-person at school.
It is also very important to promote movement and some daily physical activity. Here are some ideas to help:
Links worth Finding

Technical Help
Using technology at home is different from using it at school. A common challenge has shown up with a few students unsure of how to login to their SPS division account while at home. To help, our IT department has created this trouble shooting guide for logging in, as well as a clarification between Microsoft and Google logins. If you are still having trouble, please reach out to your teacher or contact tech@sturgeon.ab.ca for support
