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 Education 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.
Information about the impact of COVID-19 on School Councils is available on the CBE website.
Council meetings will be generally held on the first Monday of each month at 6:30 - 9:00 pm. They will be held on MS Teams and an invite will be sent out the week previous. As always, all parents are welcome to attend meetings to hear from the Principal and to share ideas and provide input. See our Calendar page for dates and times.
Plan to attend and get involved on the first Monday of the month! (except January )
Time: 6:30 - 9:00 pm

RT @SASCBE: Our Grade 3/4s had a hands on experience building birds houses after learning about the importance of birds in Calgary. Birds are often seen as spiritual messengers who bridge the natural and spirit world in Indigenous cultures. @DClovis https://t.co/7DoX3d45Ca
RT @CJMCBE: Our Grade 5 students explored Weaselhead Flats today. We learned so much about wetlands, plants, and animals. We studied aquatic invertebrates and saw so many different birds. Thank you to our guide and to our parent volunteers 😃 #WeAreCBE https://t.co/H26VYcj1EY
