This'-would be a privately run service, • and therefore .parents would pay the going rate for babysitting during that hour. If you think you would use such a service, eitherdaily or >. ©n occasioal basis please call Marilyn Dahl at 758-6395 Thank you t Í The following suggestions are providesd to help parents get the most from Parent teacher interviews; 1. make sure of date and timeof conferance 2. take time in advance to think about the interview and have some ideas in mind to discuss with the teachers. 3. be positive on the childs attributes 4. provide the teacher with necessary family background that may affect the child s performance in school. 5. if some part of the report card or other teacher expectations are unclear, do not be afraid to ask questions. The most import­ant outcome, is communication between parent and teacher.Asking questions is the very best way to make sure parent and teacher are communicating on a common ground. 6. once a child's problem has been identified, work with the teacher to develop specific,positive guidelines to improve the situation, look for ways to recity the problem. . 7.if extra time is needed .suggest a follow­up: conference or phone call. Parent' -Teacher conferences are an important part of the schooling process and we hope each parent takes the necessary time and effort to particapate in these conferences.

Sheep are sold thr­oughout Canada and the United States and many foreign countries and provided the foundation stock for the flock at the Heb­rew University in Israel. Mr. Jensen was associated with the Alberta Sugar Beet Growers Association, serving as president of the Alberta Assoc­iation as well as the Canadian Sugar Beet Producers Association for 23 years. He was made an honorary life member. He was also president of the Alberta and Canadian Wool Growers Association; founding chairman of the Alberta Sheep Marketing Council and president of the Alberta and'Canadian Sheep Breeders Association. He was a member of the Canadian Association of Agrologists; a member of the Alberta Agricultural Hall of Fame; one of Alberta's Master Farm Fam­ilies; named a Knight of the Golden Fleece by the Canadian Co Operative Wool Growers and was nominated by a number of provin­cial and federal organizations to be rec­ognized by the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame.
