Summer School 2022

Please see the attached PowerPoint presentation for important information about summer school. We have prepared this presentation to ensure students are able to make an informed decision about requesting a summer school class. This PowerPoint is a review of the information shared with students during our Summer School meeting at lunch today.

In order to request a summer school course, students must complete the Microsoft form located at the end of the attached PowerPoint. The form will direct students to choose online with CBe-learn, or in person with Chinook Learning Services. Students can choose to take one class only in the summer. CBe-learn does not offer diploma classes, so students wishing to take a diploma class online should go to https://www.alberta.ca/online-learning.aspxo for online summer school options.

High School 101

Thank you to all of the students and parents who were able to attend our in person High School 101 last night. We hope families enjoyed the band concerts at their junior highs as well. As we know that it was not possible for everyone to attend our High School 101 in person, we also had a group of our Churchill students diligently working on a video version of High School 101. We are excited to share this video done by our students in hopes of helping to ease students’ transition to Sir Winston Churchill High School next year.  Please see the video link below. We look forward to seeing you in the fall. Welcome to the Churchill community!

Parking

Please drop off or pick up in south side of the school parking lot or east of the barrier on 52 Avenue.  

Students have been advised that vehicles parking in areas in the community will be towed - for example near or around the Petro-Canada and strip mall, McDonalds, etc.  Vehicles parking in the Churchill lot without a visible student parking pass will also be towed. Please come to the main office if you have questions about parking passes.
