| Dear Families, A gentle reminder to families that with spring upon us the planters in the Discovery Garden are now/will be home to seeds and plants/flowers. As a community, we can respect the space by ensuring nobody is digging in the planters. Students and staff would like to thank you for your attention to the planting/growing process.
Understanding Social Media and Youth Well-Being The Calgary Board of Education is inviting all community members to join us for an inspiring evening of learning with experts in understanding social media. Social media has been around for decades and is commonly used by all. These digital platforms allow any user to create or share content in forms of posts, photos, videos, and connection. Teenagers need support and education to develop the skills to manage their social media use. This session will explore social media use among youth and tools to help your child learn to use social media platforms in a health and responsible way. On May 2, the CBE’s Well-Being team will host a free online session where parents will be able to join and learn from experts in the field of health promotion, ask questions and receive follow-up materials. You are invited to join us at the virtual session from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Click HERE on Tuesday, May 2 at 6:30 p.m. to join the session Understanding Social Media Child and Youth Well-Being Series for Families and Caregivers
Tuesday, May 2, 2023
6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. CBE educators believe that parents and caregivers can inspire their kids to make healthy lifestyle choices and increase protective factors — in order to do so, they need the right tools and information. Since our understanding of student health and well-being is evolving, it is important for parents to stay up-to-date on the same information so everyone is supporting student success.
This is the last session offered in a five-part Child and Youth Well-Being for Families and Caregivers learning series that is offered at no-cost to all Calgary Board of Education employees, families, and community members between December, 2022 and May, 2023. The intention of the series is to advance student well-being by raising family and caregiver’s understanding of a variety of health-related topics. You are a key partner in your child’s education and student well-being is critically linked to student achievement. Thank you for your time and consideration to join us.
Important Upcoming Dates Friday, May 5 – Non-instruction day (no classes) Monday, May 22 – Victoria Day (no classes) Monday, May 29 – Non-instruction day (no classes) Tuesday, May 30 – Tune Filled Tuesday 10:30 am (details to follow)

| Dear CJP Families, We hope families are successfully settling into school routines and finding their rhythm as we move towards the end of September. Here at the school students have comfortably settled into classroom routines and have become focused on the learning tasks at hand. We made it through picture day and the new playground is getting closer and closer to completion. A very big THANK YOU to all of the volunteers that were out last week putting the playground together. The volunteer build portion of the project was completed on Friday evening and later this week the surfacing installation will happen. Focus in the school this week is shifting to our upcoming Terry Fox Run and Truth & Reconciliation Week. Important Upcoming Dates

We do plan to have classrooms open between 5:45 and 6:15 pm to allow students an opportunity to show families their classroom.

These include the Demographic Verification form that helps ensure we are able to contact you in the case of an emergency, and the annual authorization forms that pertain to photos of students around the school. If you haven’t already, please take a moment to complete these forms in the coming days to ensure we have this important information.

| Dear CJP Families, I’m happy to share it’s been a hugely successful beginning to our 2022-23 school year. The students have already settled into a comfortable routine and wherever I go around the school I’m met with excited greetings and smiling faces. There was a minor hiccup with Bus D in the first couple of days, but it seems that has been worked out. The buzz now is all about when that new playground will be ready to go… more on that below in the school council section.

The code for the school can be found in your MyCBE account beside the bus/bus stop information. One more bussing note for registered riders… if you know your student is not going to be riding the bus for any reason, can you please call the school at (403) 777-6170 and select option 2 to leave us a message. Please do your best to leave the message before 3:15 PM on Monday-Thursday and before 12:45 PM on Friday. This helps us to more efficiently and more accurately determine which students should and should not be on the bus each day. Your support with this is greatly appreciated. From CJP School CouncilThe playground project is well underway! The volunteer build will run September 13th-17th. We would like to thank everyone who signed up to volunteer or to bring snacks for the volunteers. We are still looking for a few more volunteers Saturday the 17th. If you would like to volunteer or can drop off some snacks please sign up here: https://signup.com/go/udtTSMAAs well, we would like to thank all CJP families for giving the construction crews lots of space to work. PLEASE DO NOT PARK IN ALLEY. We would ask that during the build everyone avoid the alleyway as much as possible. Monday the 12th and Tuesday the 13th we will have large semi-trailers backing up through the alley to deliver equipment. Alternate parking is available next to the Brentwood Sportsplex. We appreciate your support and cannot wait to play on the new playground with you all. If you have any questions or concerns please reach out to us at cjp.playground@gmail.com. Sincerely, Oliver Fisher, Principal
