Administration Message

“The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.” B.B. King

As teachers and students wind down for another school year, I am amazed at the learning opportunities that our students have experienced over the past nine months. The support of School Council and the support from many of you have given our children experiences that they will never forget.

Our Grade 6 students are getting excited about finishing their final month with us.

If you are moving out of the Rundle area, your child will need to attend another CBE school. Please let us know by calling the school office at 777-6690 ext. 0. This information is necessary for planning and organizing for next year. It also helps make the transition to a new school a lot smoother. Thank you for your assistance.

In June, teachers will begin to prepare class lists for next year. Our classroom placement process is very thoughtful, and staff members consider many factors before using their professional judgement to build classrooms that best meet student needs. To foster quality teaching and learning environments, we create classrooms with: A heterogeneous mix of students (achievement, citizenship and personal development), gender balance, a balance of children requiring additional support (ie; special learning needs, English Language Learns, etc.) and positive social relationships for each child.

Thank you to our School Council! Our School Council has been supportive all year. With their support, we have been able to enrich the education of our students. Our last School Council meeting is Tuesday, June 6.

As the weather gets warmer, we sometimes see students who are dressed more for the beach than for school. Please remember that students are expected to dress modestly (no short shorts, extra short skirts, bare tummies or tops that do not cover the shoulders). Students still require proper footwear for physical education. If your child is inappropriately dressed, we may phone you to bring other clothes or we may provide a shirt to cover up.

The first day of school for the 2023-2024 school year will be Thursday, August 31st, with a staggered entry for kindergarten on Thursday, August 31st and Friday, September 1st. Teachers will connect with families the last three days of August to introduce themselves.

Sincerely,

Adam Topp, Principal
Joan Murtagh, Assistant Principal

Safety Concerns

At Cecil Swanson School, we continue to work together to provide a safe and caring learning environment. Staff, students and parents all play an important role in this endeavour. The safety of our students is our first priority and we all share responsibility for ensuring children are safe when being dropped off or picked up from school.

When you drop your children off in the morning or if you pick them up after school, we ask you not to follow them into the school. We ask you to leave them at their designated outside door.

Please ensure your child brings his/her lunch with them in the morning. Should you, on a rare occasion, need to drop off lunch, homework, a knapsack, etc. please leave it at the main office with your child’s name labeled on it and we will be delighted to have it delivered to your child.
