​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. ​

Staggered Entry

We are beginning our school year by limiting the number of students entering the school over the first two days. The purpose of the plan is:

  • To welcome our students back and provide valuable time for relationship building in their classroom,
  • To ease the transition of all students into school,
  • To spend time with smaller groups familiarizing them with our health measures,
  • To facilitate physical distancing while teaching the protocols of our health measures,
  • To discuss the importance of wearing masks and proper hygiene and provide a mask for any students without one.

Staggered entry days are full days for Grades 1-4. Kindergarten will still attend half days. On Thursday September 3, regular attendance will resume for all students. 

Teachers will be contacting you on Friday, Aug. 28 welcoming your children and providing you with information about who is in Group A and who is in Group B.

We are limiting the number of adults in the building so we are asking you to:

  • Teach and model for your child, social distancing outside on the compound
  • Let your child know that parents and caregivers cannot come into the school
  • Plan to meet your child at a set meeting location away from the door at the end of the day 
  • At a safe and healthy distance, please say goodbye to your children and let them line up in their classroom cohort identified on the field
  • Ring the buzzer at the front door if you need to drop off medication or have an emergency and support staff will help with your requests 

Teachers will be contacting all families on Friday of this week to let you know if you are in Group A or Group B. Careful consideration of families with siblings has occurred. 

We look forward to seeing all our students next week!

COVID-19 Chan​ges

  • Only registered students should use transportation services
  • Students are assigned to one stop based on their primary home address for general transportation; alternate stops will not be available
  • Students will be assigned a seat by the driver; students must adhere to the seating plan
  • Students must complete the AHS health assessment every morning before leaving for the bus stop. Students or family members with COVID-19 symptoms must stay home.
  • Masks are mandatory for students K-12, including on school buses
  • All service providers will follow Alberta Education and Alberta Health COVID-19 guidelines
Please visit our Covid-19 Frequently Asked Questions page, Transportation Section for more information.​
