School Update:
Learning Celebrations: This year, instead of hosting two large concerts (Winter and Spring), we will focus on enhancing teaching and leaning through Monthly Learning Celebrations. These events will offer a variety of experiences for families to attend, with 2 showings, afternoon or evening, and may include interactive stations, singing performances, art shows, Math or Literacy events. This will also open up the opportunity to have extended family and friends to view our performance. Each grade will have the opportunity to showcase their learning, and the following grades will be hosting:
- Kindergarten: December 12, 2024
- Grade 1: May 15, 2025
- Grade 2: March 13, 2025
- Grade 3: TBD
- Grade 4: April 24, 2025
- Grade 5: February 27, 2025
- Grade 6: June 19, 2025
- Admin Team: January 9, 2025
Lost and Found: Our lost and found area is on the increase with a number of items being left outside, in the gym etc. Families can help prevent the overflow of Lost and Found by labelling as many items as possible. Please label: coats, snow pants, hoodies, shoes, boots, backpack, water bottles and lunch kit. Any named items will be taken back to their owner.
Urgent: Demographic Verification Forms Compliance: The deadline for K – 6 families to complete Demographic Verification Forms has passed and online forms are now overdue. At this time, approximately 35% of students do not have a completed Demographic Verification Form for the 2024-25 school year.
CBE will continue to send reminders throughout October - it is important to recognize these forms are a legal requirement from Alberta Education for funding purposes. If forms remain incomplete, it may result in funding reduction for the Calgary Board of Education.
If you do not know how to complete your online forms – please reach out to the School Office for assistance.
