Oki, Danit'ada, Âba wathtec, Tânisi, Taanishi, Bonjour, Hello, Bob Edwards Community,
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. Speaking directly to those most closely involved is more effective, efficient and timely. Communication with parents, students, and community members is always welcome. Email is the preferred method of communication.
Looking Forward: Bob Edwards School Calendar & Dates of Significance
May 18 – Victoria Day (school is closed)
May 20 – French Language Arts 9 Provincial Achievement Test
May 21 – English Language Arts 9 Provincial Achievement Test
May 25 – English Language Arts and Literature 6 Provincial Achievement Test
Provincial Achievement Tests (PATs): Grade 6 & 9
In May and June of this year, Grade 6 and 9 students across the province will participate
in the Provincial Achievement Tests (PATs) using the Digital Assessment
Platform (Vretta). Students in Grades 6 and 9 will complete PATs in English
Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies. Our first PATs are
coming up quickly:
- Grade 6
- ELA "A" (Written): Monday, May 25.
- Grade 9
- FLA “A” (Written): Wednesday, May 20.
- ELA "A" (Written): Thursday, May 21.
Students who are absent on PAT days will complete the assessment when they return to school.
Results from these tests will provide Alberta Education, school administrators,
teachers, parents/guardians, students and the public with information about
what students know and can do in relation to provincial standards at the end of
Grade 6 and 9. Provincial Achievement Tests are based on what students have
been learning throughout the school year.

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. and 1:00 p.m. on Fridays.
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. After spring break, you will notice that the bus zone has been further extended to accommodate the safe operation of the school buses.
- A couple of options for parking: Please park on Marcombe Drive or west of 44 Street on Marlborough Drive.
