Attendance

Attendance Line: 403-777-6140 ext. 1

Please state your child’s name, homeroom and reason for absence. You may call this number at any time. 

Please do not send your child to school if there are definite signs of ill health. 

If you have advance warning of an absence, send a note to the child's teacher or email. If you know that your child will be absent for a period of time, let the teacher know in writing as soon as possible.

Students who are late for class miss out on valuable instruction and learning, and frequently their arrival causes a disruption to other students and to the teacher. If your child is going to be late due an appointment, a phone call to indicate this is appreciated.

Attendance Expectations at the CBE

We believe there is a strong correlation between attendance and effective education. The CBE Administrative Regulation 6020 - Attendance of Students​ regulation applies to all of our students, and outlines the responsibilities for students, parents and school staff.​​​​​​​​

Monday, May 29 is a system-wide non-instructional day so there are no classes for CBE students. It is also the provincial election day – don’t forget to vote! Have a safe long weekend. #WeAreCBE https://t.co/nihcInFUcL
