​Important Dates

We follow the CBE Traditional Calendar. The calendar sets common start and end days, non-instructional days and holidays. For our school’s additional non-instructional days, late entries, early dismissal days and events, see our school calendar page.

The Alberta Government announced on July 21 that schools will be in Scenario 1 as of Sept. 1, 2020.  

The CBE's 2020-21 re-entry plan is subject to change as more information becomes available from the province. We will continue to update schools with more details during the next school year.​​

You can find the COVID Self-Assessment Tool​ (daily checklist) in the Government Resources section on the CBE website. ​

Kindergarten

Kindergarten students will have a staggered entry from Tuesday, September 1 - Thursday, September 3, 2020  

Parents/Guardians of students who have already registered their children for the 2020 - 2019 school year will receive a letter in the mail during the summer indicating the individual dates and times of when their child will attend. The staggered entry will allow for teachers to have smaller groups and for students and parents to become familiar with the classroom and their new teachers. 

There will be no school for Kindergarten students on Friday Sept. 4, 2020, while the teachers formulate the class lists. Parents will be called and notified of their child’s class placement.
