Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids

Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids (BB4CK) is a non-profit organization that has worked for over 30 years to bring people together to ensure kids in our city have access to food. Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids provides sandwiches, fruit, vegetables, baked goods and snacks to care for kids. If your child requires access to a BB4CK lunch, please send an email in confidence to Ms. McGarvery, Student Services Learning Leader. kjmcgarvey@cbe.ab.ca

Weather Reminders     

With the cooler weather here, we would like to remind students to bring appropriate winter clothing with them to school each day. Students spend half of their lunch break outside. The CBE weather guidelines allow for students to be outside in air temperatures equal to or warmer than -20C, or above -25C with the wind chill.

• 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.
• 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 a.m.
• Students must be picked up from school by 3:40 p.m.

PLEASE NOTE: Siblings are not permitted to wait for another sibling in an athletic practice or game as there is no supervision provided for siblings who are not engaged in a teacher-supervised activity.

Parking Reminders

• Please do not park or drop off students in front of the school in the bus zone between 7 a.m. – and 5:00 p.m.
• Please do not drop off or pick up your child from the staff parking lot.
• Please always use the marked crosswalks. (No jaywalking)

Have a nice weekend,

Bob Edwards School
