Oki, Danit'ada, Âba wathtec, Tânisi, Taanishi, Bonjour, Hello, Bob Edwards Community,
(Le message en français suit la version anglaise)
Tansi Bob Edwards Families,
As we inch closer to the winter break, it's truly astonishing to realize that December is already here! I would like to express my gratitude to those of you who attended the recent parent-teacher conferences. Your participation and engagement are immensely valued and contribute greatly to our community. I would also like to thank our dedicated educators for the engaging and meaningful conversations with families about their child’s education. It was fantastic to see such a great turnout for our PAC meeting and to have a new board elected for the 2025-26 school year. They are excited about the work ahead, and so am I!
I'm thrilled to share that our school development plan has been posted on the website. This plan outlines our goals and initiatives for the current school year, and we invite you to review it and share any feedback you may have. Your insights are crucial to our continuous improvement.
On another exciting note, we are thrilled to announce the purchase of 64 new Chromebooks and a new cart for the school. This new equipment will be housed and used on the 1st floor. More information will follow once everything is fully available to staff.
Chers parents d'élèves de l'école Bob Edwards,
Alors que les vacances d'hiver approchent à grands pas, il est étonnant de constater que décembre est déjà arrivé ! Je tenais à remercier chaleureusement tous ceux d'entre vous qui ont participé aux récentes rencontres parents-professeurs. Votre participation et votre implication sont extrêmement précieuses et contribuent grandement à la vie de notre communauté. J'aimerais aussi remercier nos enseignants dévoués pour leurs échanges enrichissants et constructifs avec les familles concernant l'éducation de leurs enfants. C'était un réel plaisir de constater une telle participation à notre réunion du Conseil des parents d'élèves et de voir un nouveau conseil élu pour l'année scolaire 2025-2026. Ils sont excités à l'idée du travail qui les attend, et moi aussi !
J'ai le plaisir de vous informer que notre plan de développement scolaire est maintenant disponible sur le site web. Ce plan présente nos objectifs et nos initiatives pour l'année scolaire en cours, et nous vous invitons à le consulter et à nous faire part de vos commentaires. Vos commentaires sont essentiels à notre démarche d'amélioration continue.

Dans d'autres nouvelles, nous sommes ravis d'annoncer l'acquisition de 64 nouveaux Chromebooks et d'un nouveau chariot pour l'école. Ce nouvel équipement sera installé et utilisé au premier étage. Plus d'informations suivront dès que tout sera pleinement accessible au personnel.
Nous vous souhaitons un excellent week-end de repos !
Contact your child’s teachers here: Our Staff. Your child’s homeroom teacher is the best first point of contact for any questions or concerns. Email is the preferred method of communication.

School pictures are ready!
Your child’s school pictures are now available! To view them online, please log in to your account at mylifetouch.ca. If you don’t have an account yet, you can create one using your email address. You’ll need your student’s ID number to locate their photos.
Important: If you don’t know your student’s ID number, please do not contact the school. Paper proofs containing your login credentials will be sent to your home shortly, allowing you to view the images online.
Bonus: All families can also order a FREE digital Pictures2Protect Card—a great way to keep your child’s photo and emergency info handy. Learn more about the Pictures2Protect program here.
Athletics Updates
Please see the Athletics page of our school website for all Athletic Updates. The Physical Education teachers have also put together a Physical Education website, available here.
Weather Reminders
This time of year means the regular transition between warm and cold weather. Please help your student come to school prepared for the weather over the next several weeks.
- Please ensure your child is prepared with outdoor clothing and footwear for all weather conditions.
- All students enjoy 20 minutes of fresh air at lunch (weather permitting) and some physical education classes outside, and this time is much more enjoyable if they are dressed for the weather.
- Families are encouraged to review this checklist to be prepared for using transportation every school day and throughout the school year. Transportation Family Checklist
- Please ensure your child is prepared with outdoor clothing and footwear for all weather conditions.
- Students should not arrive at school before 8:55 a.m. (Soft entry starts at 9:03 a.m.)
- Students must be picked up from school by 4:00 p.m.
Parking Reminders
- Please do not park or drop off students in the bus zone in front of the school between 7 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
- We now have 5 school buses at Bob Edwards School, and they need the space to operate safely.
