Action Required | School Planning Survey | Parent Engagement
As part of the engagement with our school community, we are gathering parent input for the current school year and initial considerations for the 2024-2025 school year. The planning we are engaged in this spring includes making decisions around student learning and staffing, budget and school fees for next year, and items specific to our programs.
We hope you can take the time to engage in the survey. The initial data will be shared with our parent community at the April Parent Council Meeting. The data will also be shared with the CBE (Calgary Board of Education) who make decisions specific to our school and the programs we offer.
Please use this link to complete the survey. It will be open until 11:59 p.m. on Friday, March 31, 2024.

Weather Reminders
This time of year means the regular transition between warm and cold weather. Please help your student to 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.
- Students should not arrive at school before 8:40 am
- Students must be picked up from school by 3:40 pm (There is no supervision outside of these times.)
Athletics Updates
Please see the Athletics page of our school website for all Athletic Updates. This is where you find the Volleyball Schedule.
Reminders:
A parent or guardian must supervise student spectators at all athletics events.
All students require proper footwear for physical education classes. Crocs, slides, and flip-flops are unsafe to wear when engaging in sports. Also, please dress for the weather as some physical education classes go outside when the weather is reasonable to do so with proper outerwear.
We look forward to another great week of teaching and learning!
Have a lovely weekend!
