  • A Message from School Council

 

We would like to thank all families for sending their children to school with clothing that supports their outdoor play and instruction. Students were able to enjoy the fresh snow on the ground while also being comfortable with our changing temperatures.

We would also like to thank all parents during drop off and pick-up. Although more cars typically arrive in the Hug and Go with cold weather, we have noticed this week that families were continuing to support the flow of traffic in this quick drop off section by not parking their car and walking with their children. Thank you for helping support a safe and efficient drop off by quickly unloading your children and sending them to the doors, so that you can move your car out to make space for others when using the Hug and Go. This really helps keep students safe and traffic flowing and was successful even with the challenging road conditions.

 

A few items of note…

 

School Conferences

As mentioned last week, our next School Conferences are coming up on November 28 (from 4:30pm-8:30pm) and 29 (from 8:30am – 1:30pm). The School Conferences Booking System will open on this Saturday, November 28 at 10am through your MyCBE account. It is important that all families book a conference time to connect more formally with their child’s teacher(s) about their learning.

Additional Details:

  • Mandarin Bilingual Program students who two teachers (Mandarin and English) will have the opportunity to meet with both teachers at the same time during their conference timeslot
  • Physical Education and Wellbeing (PE&W): with Ms. Collins being connected part time to a classroom this year, we are having select times that she will be available in the gym for families to explore learning in PE&W. Please consider coming to visit the gym on Thursday from 5:30-6:45pm or on Friday from 10:30am – 12:30pm. For a more formalized meeting to discuss your child’s specific learning in PE&W, pleas email Ms. Collins at Adcollins@cbe.ab.ca to setup an alternate meeting time.
  • Music with Ms. Seto: please feel free to stop by the music room to explore the music program and connect with Ms. Seto. For a more formalized meeting to discuss your child’s specific learning in music, pleas email Ms. Seto at Suseto@cbe.ab.ca to setup an alternate meeting time.
