Bell Schedule Change for 2025-2026
On April 8, you received the email below from the CBE indicating the changing bell times for Ernest Morrow due to expanding yellow bus services.
Dear CBE families,
Next year, the CBE will be expanding yellow bus service and adjusting walk zones. This is in response to Alberta Education’s School Transportation Amendment Regulation for student transportation that comes into effect on Sept. 1, 2025. This means many more students will become eligible to take the bus.
When changes are made to yellow bus transportation, it has an impact on bell times for schools. That’s because bell times are directly connected to transportation. Aligning bell times across schools makes transportation more efficient, allowing each bus to run multiple routes. This creates a reliable transportation system, ensuring students get to school safely, on time and ready to learn.
For the 2025-26 school year, bell times for Ernest Morrow School are 9:04 a.m. – 3:31 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Friday early dismissal is at 1:00 p.m.
If your child is attending a different CBE school for the 2025-26 school year, please visit the website [link to bell time page] to find that school’s bell times.
Bell times were reviewed across the system to ensure students receive the required instructional hours while maintaining time for breaks like lunch and recess, transitions between classes and extracurricular opportunities.
To help support reliable transportation service, we are making a few other changes next year. With the growth in population in Calgary, we continue to work with our service providers and Calgary Transit to support our growing ridership. We are adjusting route scheduling to account for increased traffic so yellow school buses have a few more minutes to reach their destination. Finally, walk zones are being adjusted to align with provincial direction.
In early May, we will be sharing more information about eligibility for transportation, the walk zone at your child’s school and information on transportation registration.
Please visit our Questions and Answers page for detailed information about the bell time changes.
We recognize these changes will mean adjustments to your family’s schedule. Our goal is to support you through these transitions.
Thank you,
The Calgary Board of Education
Take care,
Cheri Schwartz | Ernest Morrow School
