First Day of Classes 

The school office is open to parents for registration only, beginning on Thurs. Aug. 27, 2020 (9:00) am. 

There is an optional drop-in for new students on Mon. Aug. 31, 2020 9:00-10:30 am (note that teachers will be in meetings). Parents are encouraged to practice riding Calgary Transit to school with their students on this day.

The first day of classes is Tues. Sept. 1, 2020 (8:20 am), please note that any information contained here is open to changes as per COVID-19 direction. Note that the front of the school (Chilcotin Road) is a drop-off zone only. No vehicles may be left unattended. Upon arrival to the main foyer on Tues. Sept.1 (8:00-8:20) maps will outline grade level classroom locations in each wing of the school. Posters will be visible in each wing with the grade level homeroom number, the homeroom teacher name, and the first name, last initial of each student in the homeroom. Staff will be available to address questions and direct students at all entrances to the school.

Grade 6 students will report to the main gym upon entering the school, where they will be directed to their homeroom teacher, who will be holding a large sign. *Class lists have been prepared through the careful lens of teachers working together in teams to ensure the best possible classroom composite. Parent requests received until March 2019 were considered, if they were rooted in a strong instructional or social/emotional rationale. Changes to the homeroom class composites will not be made on the first day of school, as teachers and administrators will be focused on the reintegration of all our students.
