Oki, Danit'ada, Âba wathtec, Tânisi, Taanishi, Bonjour, Hello, Bob Edwards Community,
(Le message en français suit la version anglaise)
Hello Bob Edwards Families,
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your unwavering support of our community and dedicated teaching staff. As we navigate these uncertain times, I want to assure you that the Calgary Board of Education (CBE) will continue to keep you updated on the potential teacher strike scheduled for Monday, October 6, 2025.
In light of the potential strike, the CBE have made the difficult decision to cancel all sports, field trips, and other activities for October. This decision was not made lightly, and we understand the disappointment it may cause. Students will have access to D2L and Google Classroom throughout labour action. However, teachers will not have access and will not be monitoring, responding to or assessing student work during the strike.
I would also like to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to all our teachers who have generously volunteered their time since the beginning of September to coach various sports at our school. Our teachers' commitment and dedication to supporting our students have not gone unnoticed, and we deeply appreciate their efforts.
Thank you once again for your understanding and support. We will continue to provide you with updates as we receive more information. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Salut, les familles de Bob Edwards, j'aimerais vous remercier chaleureusement pour votre soutien indéfectible à notre communauté et à notre personnel enseignant dévoué. En cette période d'incertitude, je tiens à vous assurer que le Conseil scolaire de Calgary (CBE) continuera de vous tenir au courant de la possible grève des enseignants prévue pour le lundi 6 octobre 2025.
Compte tenu de cette possible grève, le CBE a pris la difficile décision d'annuler tous les sports, sorties scolaires et autres activités pour le mois d'octobre. Cette décision n'a pas été prise à la légère et nous comprenons la déception qu'elle peut causer. Les élèves auront accès à D2L et à Google Classroom pendant toute la durée du conflit de travail. Cependant, les enseignants n'y auront pas accès et ne surveilleront pas, ne répondront pas et n'évalueront pas le travail des élèves pendant la grève.
Je tiens également à exprimer ma sincère gratitude à tous nos enseignants qui ont généreusement offert de leur temps depuis le début du mois de septembre pour encadrer divers sports à notre école. L'engagement et le dévouement de nos enseignants envers nos élèves ne sont pas passés inaperçus, et nous apprécions profondément leurs efforts.
Nous vous remercions encore une fois pour votre compréhension et votre soutien. Nous vous tiendrons au courant dès que nous aurons plus d'informations. N'hésitez pas à communiquer avec nous pour toute question ou préoccupation.
Looking Forward: Bob Edwards School Calendar
Opportunity
The Calgary Board of Education invites all parents and guardians to join a live online series on supporting child and youth well-being. The series is hosted by the Recovery Alberta Community Education Service (CES) Program in collaboration with local experts from the Calgary community.
Attached to this update is a poster with sessions designed to provide families with knowledge, tools, and strategies to help navigate the challenges and opportunities of raising children and teens today. Along with the poster, additional session details are available on the Child and Youth Family and Caregiver Series public-facing page.
Opportunity for French Immersion students
The United Bilingual Correspondents program, organized by French for the Future, connects French-speaking youth across Canada in grades 7 to 12 (or Secondary 1 to CEGEP 1 in Quebec). Participants are paired with a peer from another province to engage in regular French-language exchanges via email, social media, or video calls. Each month, the program provides themed conversation prompts to inspire discussions about Canadian Francophone cultures and personal interests. This initiative fosters language practice, cultural exploration, and the development of lasting friendships. Participation is free, and the program runs throughout the school year. Registration is open until October 7, 2025.
School Council and Parent Society
The October 28 School Council and Annual General Meeting is CANCELLED and will be rescheduled after Labour Action.
