Tonight’s Event! - Spring Fling & Carnival - May 31 from 5:30-8:00pm
We are looking forward to this evening’s event. A great big thank you School Council and all volunteers making this event possible. Tickets sales are now closed. If any space is available, cash tickets may be available after 6pm at the door.
Kindergarten Learning Celebration – June 3 at 10am
The Kindergarten students in the Community English and Mandarin Bilingual programs will be hosting all students in their Learning Celebration on Monday, June 3 from 10:00am – 10:45am. The celebration will share their learning about “love” in connection to the eagle. We would like to invite parents of performing students from our Kindergarten classes to attend if able. Please note that due to fire safety code we have to limit our parent viewing to the first 150 parents. Doors will open at 9:55am. If waiting outside, we ask that you please line up along the Main West Door sidewalk leading out towards Varsity Drive.
Library Learning Commons Final Book Return
This week was the final book exchange for all students at Marion Carson School for the 2023-24 school year. Please return all school library books throughout the week of June 3 to 7. Our librarian, Ms. Parshina will be sending out a list later in the month to families with any outstanding/overdue books. Any books not returned by the deadline in this mid-month report will be charged to your MyCBE account. If you received a message that you have an outstanding book and believe this is in error, please email the school before the end of the day Friday, June 21, 2024.
Here are some links from Ms. Parshina to support student reading during the months where book exchange is not available from within the school. *Please note that you will need your Calgary Public Library sign-in information to access these links.
