Please visit our COVID-19 page for the most up-to-date information. Our plan is subject to change throughout the school year as more information becomes available.​

One of the most important ways parents/guardians and community members can make a meaningful difference for students is by participating on the school council. Under the School Act, a school council is a collective association designed to advise the principal and the CBE Board of Trustees on matters related to the school. School councils have legislated advisory and decision-making authority. They are different from Parent Societies & Associations, whose main function is to raise funds for the school.​​ You can find more details in the CBE School Council Handbook​.​​​​

School Council

Auburn Bay School Council

All Auburn Bay parents and guardians are invited to attend the monthly meetings of our school council. The Auburn Bay School Council is comprised of both parents and staff representatives. Our goal is to work together to create a positive learning environment for our children. Through the council, we can strengthen communication between home and school. We discuss and plan for our school’s future. We also support special events. 

Agendas and Minutes are available at meetings.

Update From the Council Executive

Due to the closure of our school we, as a Council, have not been able to meet at our usual once a month consistency.  Our Executive have recently met over video conferencing and we wanted to advise our school families of a few items.

Parent Council – Fundraising Society Executive

Usually we hold our Annual General Meeting in May to vote on the Executive Board for the following school year.  Due to the extraordinary circumstances of the 2019-2020 school year and our Executive Members not being able to have a full year of regular service, the Executive will roll over and fulfill these same rolls for the 2020-2021 school year.  Committee positions are available for any interested parents for the 2020-2021 school year.  Please attend our August meeting if you are interested in finding out more about our amazing committees!

Casino

Our fundraising casino was to be held March 19-20 but was cancelled as all casinos were closed earlier that week, due to Covid-19.  It was decided by the AGLC that as the end of the quarter was a week away all of the organizations designated to work a casino during the first quarter, whether they were actually in attendance or not, would still split the proceeds.  Because of this decision, we were granted $53,413.42 in casino funds.  These funds will go to supplement learning opportunities in our school.  We are in the queue for our next casino assignment and we will advise of those dates as soon as the AGLC communicates them with us.


Meeting Dates/Schedule

The School Council meets nine times a year. Meeting times are 6:00 PM – 6:45 PM. The meetings take place in the Auburn Bay School Learning Commons.  All parents and guardians of students are invited to attend.

Due to COVID 19 our meetings are currently held via SKYPE.  Please email the Society at commsabs@gmail.com for additional information.

RT @yyCBEdu: Reminder Sept. 30 is Orange Shirt Day. It is an opportunity for all people to come together in the spirit of reconciliation. https://t.co/a3lPCx0pwp #WeAreCBE https://t.co/aFYi2TMh50

RT @yyCBEdu: Friday, Sept 25 is a system-wide non-instructional day. There are no in-person or online classes for students. Students in the hub can still access their course materials but teachers are not available to respond to questions. #WeAreCBE #yycbe https://t.co/sVPT78XTW8

Thank you @ABschoolFS for the breakaway lanyards for all of the students to use with their masks! Greatly appreciated by teachers and students! 👏 https://t.co/dqcsPvrbkP

RT @UsihChristopher: We work closely with AHS when dealing with positive COVID cases in our schools. Consistent with their direction, “if a student comes to school while infectious with COVID, our current approach is typically to require that all student’s classmates stay home for 14 days.”#WeAreCBE

RT @UsihChristopher: Important: Parents/guardians are required to assess students daily for symptoms of COVID-19 before the start of the school day using the daily screening questionnaire (checklist), available here: https://t.co/8Ma0f3SY62 Anyone who is experiencing symptoms cannot enter a school. https://t.co/YLWf6mf1iz

RT @albertateachers: Will you be wearing orange on September 30? #OrangeShirtDay #abed https://t.co/pfPftZ5XiT

RT @YourAlberta: To help keep students and school staff safe, public health measures include a screening questionnaire. Parents should go through this questionnaire every morning before class to determine if the child can go to school or needs to stay home: https://t.co/VqOYyq0f04 https://t.co/0WLbkygPOu

RT @yyCBEdu: Students registered for hub online will receive an email by end of day Wednesday with a teacher introduction, info about how and where to log in and more. Check https://t.co/ee2XFbs1qB for more details. #cbehub #yycbe https://t.co/7MiZG7UAE0
