This is the first week of September. It is hard to believe that school has been up and running for almost three weeks. Clubs have started, sports teams tryouts held, first soccer games played and plenty of academic work has begun! To say the school is full steam ahead is definitely an understatement!
On Thursday, 12 September 2019, the school will host its annual family BBQ. This is an informal event allowing families to connect with the school. Unlike in the past, money for food will not be collected in advance but rather, food will be paid for at the event. However, to ensure enough food, please complete and return your pre-order form to the school. Come out and learn what the school and school community are all about!
There have been a number of questions about school fees. Please be patient as the school doesn’t have current information right now. 2019-20 fees will be available in the fall of 2019, once the CBE budget is approved by Alberta Education. If you believe that you are eligible for a waiver, please visit https://www.cbe.ab.ca/registration/fees-and-waivers/Pages/Waivers.aspx for further information. In the mean time, I would encourage you to register for MyCBE/PowerSchool at https://sis.cbe.ab.ca/public/home.html if you have not done so already.
Traffic safety is a huge issue and there have been far too many near misses involving our students. As in the past, the Calgary Police Service will actively enforce the traffic laws and regulations. Please do not stop or park in the no stopping zone on Martindale Boulevard to drop off students. Pedestrians have priority in crosswalks and you must stop for people crossing in a marked crosswalk. Do not drop off students in the parking lot. The parking lots are restricted to staff only and are not safe for dropping off your children.

I am excited for the school year to come - to watch the teaching and learning that occurs in each and every classroom and teaching space, to watch students work together and support each other, to see the smiles of success and celebrations of achievement reflect the excellence of the school. I am proud to be part of such a wonderful school community!
