Checking Out or In During School Day

If students must leave the school due to illness, appointment, or other reason, they are to check out at the main office and provide a note from their parent. Similarly, if students arrive after the late bell, they must first check into the main office and receive a late slip to present to the receiving teacher. 

Supervision

Supervision at school is between the hours of 7:45 AM and 2:45 PM, unless the student is involved in a teacher-sponsored activity (for example:- sports teams, drama practice, homework club). Important: Please note - If students are at the school before 7:45 AM or after 2:45 PM and not involved in a teacher-sponsored activity, supervision is not provided.

  • Note: Students must make driving arrangements with parents BEFORE signing up for extracurricular activities.

Emergency Communication Blackout

In the event of an emergency or critical incident, students will follow administrators' and teachers' direction to observe a communication blackout until the emergency is resolved. This may include students giving their devices to a teacher during the incident.

​Lockdowns

All CBE schools are required to practice lockdowns in the same way that we practice fire drills. The procedures for lockdowns are developed with the Calgary Police Service and are part of each school’s Emergency Response Plan. If you have questions about lockdown drills or lockdown procedures, please contact your principal.
 

Evacuation Procedures

In the event that the school needs to be evacuated for any reason, all staff have been trained according to CBE standards. All schools have a primary and a secondary evacuation site. In the event of an evacuation, you will receive an email, phone or SMS notification from the school.​​
