We will be placing a bulk order after November 22 in hopes that all orders will be received before the Winter Break.
Halloween
Students will be participating in a variety of classroom and school activities in addition to regular learning on October 31st.
Students are welcome to wear costumes to school for the day. If students do not want to wear a costume, they are encouraged to wear something orange or black. Please ensure that all costumes are school appropriate.
Costume accessories are not allowed at school (swords, guns, wands…), these are often lost or broken and lead to upset students. Masks are not to be worn during the day, but will be allowed during the costume parade.
We will be having a costume parade in the afternoon (2:00pm). We are hoping for an outside parade around the school and parents are welcome to attend. If we need to move inside due to weather, unfortunately we do not have space for parents.
Morning Kindergarten will be invited to wear costumes and share these with other classes before they leave.
Lunch Supervision Registration
Lunch Supervision is a user pay program, which means if your child stays at the school during the lunch hour, you are required to register and pay the fees associated for the program. Registration and payment can be done through your MyCBE/powerschool account.
Just a friendly reminder that students will need to bring their own spoons & forks with their snack and lunch as we have a limited supply to give out. Students DO NOT have access to hot water or microwaves.
Please refer to this link for more information on fees and waivers - https://www.cbe.ab.ca/registration/fees-and-waivers/Pages/Waivers.aspx
Before and After School Supervision
Please remember that student supervision begins at 8:15 am each day. Students are welcome to enter the building to get ready for classes to begin at 8:27 am. Between 8:15 and 8:27 am, teachers are supervising inside their classrooms and the hallways. Students are encouraged to use this time to connect with friends and prepare for learning.
Students are dismissed at 3:00 pm (Monday to Thursday) and 12:41 pm (Friday). Kindergarten to Grade 3 teachers will accompany their students outside and will remain for approximately 5 minutes each day. After this time, parents are expected to supervise their own children if they wish to remain or play at the school.
Absence / Lates
If your child is going to be absent or late please call the office before school begins at 403-777-6790 to let us know. This will help us ensure all students are safe and that their attendance record will be accurate. Once you have reached the office:
1. Press 1, and leave your message on the Attendance Line
2. Please let us know your child’s first and last name, teacher; and the reason for the absence.
