You
bring me all the joy in the world just by being you!!”
Each year, at Taradale School, we
start with a special picture book that we bring to life, throughout the year,
in our 30 classrooms.
This school year, 2019-2020, we
started with the book,
JOY

Averiss
describes JOY as something that can be found
in the most unusual places, which
is the message we are sharing with our Kindergarten to Grade Four students.
Our first 6 weeks have already been packed full of
celebrations. Please ask your children,
each day, to share their celebrations with you.
I am honored to begin my thirteenth year as the Principal of
our Taradale community, which has created a respectful tone of valuing
education and appreciating the opportunity to learn. It is a privilege to be working with our
Taradale families. I feel very
fortunate.
As a school community, we look forward to continuing to frame our work this year with
the Calgary Board of Education Mission, Results and Values:
Mission -
Each student, in keeping with his or her individual abilities and gifts, will
complete high school with a foundation of learning necessary to thrive in life,
work and continued learning.
Results - Academic
Success Citizenship Personal Development Character
Values -
Students come first. Learning is our
central purpose. Public education serves
the common good.
We are very pleased to welcome all of our families to Taradale School.
The Calgary Board of Education sent a letter
home to our parents on September 15, 2009 stating, “….due to continued
enrollment growth at Taradale School, the school is at capacity and will
continue to be capped.”
The designated overflow bus receiver school
for kindergarten to grade four students residing inside Taradale School’s
attendance area is Guy Weadick School, which is located the community of Temple
at 5612 Templehill Road NE. You can
contact the school at (403) 777-6740.
All new kindergarten to grade four students
moving into Taradale School’s attendance area are designated to Guy Weadick
School.
Wow!
Wow! Wow! – Over 95% Attendance
Parent Teacher Conferences
It was an absolute pleasure to meet with
approximately 95% of our parents at our Parent/Teacher Conferences in
September. We were thrilled with the
outstanding participation in attending conferences, as well as booking
conferences online! During the next couple of weeks, we encourage the parents, who were not able to attend conferences,
to contact teachers and schedule an opportunity to meet their child’s teacher
and to participate in their first conference.
We can feel the strong sense of community at
Taradale.
I continue to be the Proud, Proud, Proud Principal of Taradale School. What do we treasure? We treasure our students, who are our
Taradale Treasures!!
