​​​​​​​Hello Parents / Guardians,

A highlight for me this week was our Communi-Tea Indigenous family night. I enjoyed talking with many of our families, eating some amazing stew and bannock, made for us by Closer to Home, and seeing our students perform traditional dances, sing and drum.  We were privileged to have Elder Frank Turning Robe and his son Darcy Turning Robe provide the blessing and sing for us.  Thank you Ms. Hart for organizing this fun evening.

​​​​​​​Student Pick up and Drop off

I am sure many of you are wondering what is happening with our parking lot!  We have had transportation here to try to determine a safe process for student pick-up and drop-off. The barriers in the family parking have been placed in the middle to help create a fluid circle where cars drive in, drop off and move out.  Please see maps.  

Parking Lot 1


Parking Lot 2



Next week, we should have paved student walkways completed to support movement from the parking lot to the school.  Many changes - thank you for your patience!

Child and Youth Well-Being Family and Caregiver Fall/Winter Series

The Calgary Board of Education invites all parents and guardians to join us in a pre-recorded and live online series focusing on child and youth well-being. These sessions will be hosted in partnership with experts from Alberta Health Services and Recovery Alberta and will explore topics such as Peer Pressure, Healthy Relationships, Mental Health for Highly Sensitive Teens, and navigating Parent-Teen relationships.

Acting on feedback from participants who joined us during our live online sessions over the past two years, moving forward we invite all guardians and parents to listen to the pre-recorded or live sessions at their convenience.  Please see attachment for more information and to register.  Child and Youth Well Being Family and Caregiver Series - Fall 2024-2025
