Attendance Line: 403-777-7330 ext. 1

The school office hours are from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM. An answering machine will take messages outside of these hours and voice mail can be left for teaching staff at any Time. Your child’s safety is of the utmost importance and as such we request your help in verifying all absences and late arrivals.

If your child will be absent, please call the school office before 8:00 AM or send an email to balmoral@cbe.ab.ca at least a day in advance of when your child will be missing instructional time. If our office staff do not have a record of the absence, the teacher will make them as “absence unexcused” and parents/guardians will be contacted office to verify your child’s absence. Students arriving late must come to the office to sign in and get a late slip. The absentee line is available for your use outside of school hours.
