The Calgary Board of Education continues to plan for the health measures that may be in place for the next school year. More details will be shared with families before the first day of classes.

Back to School Information

First Day of Classes 

Our first day of classes is Wednesday, Sept. 1, 2021. Our school office opens Friday, Aug. 27, 2021.

Kindergarten 

We will be having a staggered entry format on the first two days of school: Wednesday, Sept. 1 and Thursday, Sept. 2, 2021. During staggered entry, each kindergarten class is divided in half. One half of the class attends on the Wednesday and one half attends on the Thursday during the normal Kindergarten hours. This enables teachers to introduce students to class routines in a smaller group setting and also allows more opportunity to meet parents and get to know the students.  Please contact the school if you are unsure of your child's start date. 

Kindergarten bell times are:     

  • 8:40 AM – 11:30 PM   (morning class)
  • 12:40 PM – 3:30 PM   (afternoon class)

Regular classes start on Tuesday, September 7 for all morning and afternoon kindergarten classes. Friday September 3 is not an attendance day for kindergarten, but all subsequent Fridays will alternate between AM and PM classes. Our 2021-22 instructional calendar and our Friday kindergarten schedule can be found on our website.
