School Update:
Action| Unpaid field trip fees: Field trips and out-of-school experiences are an essential part of our students’ learning, offering opportunities for hands-on exploration and discovery. However, we currently have over $4,000 in unpaid field trip fees.
We kindly ask that you check your MyCBE account and settle any outstanding amounts as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the school cannot cover the cost of these trips, and if unpaid fees continue to accumulate, we will be unable to organize future field trips.
We appreciate your understanding and support. Our goal is to continue providing enriching learning experiences for all students, and we need your help to make this possible.
Family Selfie (Felfie) Board: As we continue to celebrate the wonderful diversity of our Woodbine community, we invite staff and students to contribute to our "Felfie Board" in the school. Please bring a family selfie, along with a flag that represents your family's culture(s), to school.
Taylor Swift Club: Join the Taylor Swift Club every Tuesday during lunch in the music room, starting October 15, 2024! This fun and interactive club is open to students in Grades 4-6 who are Swifties at heart. Come sing and dance along to your favorite songs, discuss her albums, and dive into the world of Taylor Swift. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering her music, this is the perfect place to share your love for all things Taylor! Don’t miss out—see you at lunch on Tuesdays!
School Calendar: October is a busy month – stay on top of everything going on by visiting our school calendar: https://woodbine.cbe.ab.ca/calendar
Picture Day: October 8! – mark your calendar – biggest smiles and hair combed. There will be a Retake Day on November 7 should you miss the first one.
Field Trip Fees: Parents will start to see field trip fees being added to MyCBE accounts by mid-October. Fees must be paid online via your MyCBE account. To avoid the field trip being cancelled all fees must be paid prior to the activity taking place. If you are new to our school and need assistance in setting up a MyCBE account – please contact Mrs Brown at the School Office.
SchoolMessenger: Are you receiving all the school communications that we send out from the office and from your child’s teacher? Please reach out to the school office if you would like more information so that you don’t miss out on a thing! Many of our families are not receiving all of our communications.
CBE Forms Reminder: The beginning of the school year means many forms to sign. The following forms are no longer available hard copy and can be filled out on your School Engage account
