March! And with luck, the weather will make a significant shift for the better as we move towards Spring Break. Despite the cold, the school is a hive of activity. Junior high basketball continues, clubs run and field trips that enhance classroom learning leave the building almost daily.
According to Environment Canada, Calgary’s February was the third coldest February on record with an average temperature of -18.7oC! Many students were unprepared for the cold and were not dressed appropriately for the weather. Please ensure that your child is dressed for conditions – especially boots, mitts and hats!
Stopping to drop students off in the parking lot off Martin Crossing Park and in front of the school continue to be concerning issues. Please do not drive into the parking lot to drop of students – the parking lot layout and staff arriving in the morning make this an unsafe drop off point. Calgary Police Service and the Calgary Parking Authority continue to monitor the road in front of the school. Please remember that Martindale Blvd in front of the school is a NO STOPPING zone except for school buses. The police have ticketed and will continue to ticket offending drivers.
As the Calgary Board of Education moves towards an “online environment” for fees, demographics and report cards, I would encourage all parents to create a parent account at https://sis.cbe.ab.ca/public/createaccounthelp.html as soon as possible. Support will be available to parents in creating their account at the next Student Led Conferences on Thursday, 18 April 2019.

The last day of classes prior to Spring Break is Thursday, 21 March 2019. Students return to classes on Monday, 08 April 2019. I hope all students will use this time to relax and return refreshed and ready to finish the last three months of the school year!
