School Calendar

We are a school that follows the Traditional calendar. View our school's Calendar for upcoming events and dates.  

Noon Supervision 

We provide students with the option of staying at school for lunch. Noon Supervision is offered to all students in Kindergarten to Grade 6. This service provides students with the opportunity to practice social skills supported by caring adult supervision.

Noon supervision at our schools includes:

  •   a safe and secure place for children to have lunch
  •   a caring environment that fosters and maintains respectful, responsible behaviors
  •   access to the service, without a wait list
  •   a drop-in service  
  •   flexibility for site-based decisions at each school

This CBE run lunchroom is a user pay program; waivers are available.  Noon supervision fees are charged to parents of all students who use noon supervision services.  Income tax receipts are issued for noon supervision fees: receipts may be included as child care expenses for income tax purposes.  Fee payment options are set by Central Office.  There are no family maximum fees.  Fees are to be paid to Calgary Board of Education.  Our lunchroom program will start on Sept. 1, 2021.  

For more information visit our Noon Supervision page.

Brown Bag Lunch

Thanks to “Brown Bagging It for Calgary Kids”, students can receive a healthy lunch if they need it. Parents must request this service. Please talk to the office staff if your child will require a Brown Bag lunch. This service is not to be used because a student forgets his or her lunch.

Breakfast Club

We are a member of Breakfast Clubs of Canada. This program provides generous funds to operate a free breakfast program. There is no cost for this drop-in program.  Parents of Kindergarten students please call the office for special instructions.

Assigned Teachers 

Students will be informed of their assigned teacher vis a phone call on August 31, 2021.  Teachers will meet students outside on the first day.

Kindergarten 

Kindergarten classes begin on Sept. 1, 2021.  Please meet your teacher at the West entrance.  For the first week of classes, we will have a staggered entry as follows: 

Parents/Guardians signed their child up to attend one session from Sept. 1-3:

                        Monday - Thursday  -  9:00 - 11:10 am or 1:10 - 3:20

                         Friday - 9:00 - 11:10am

Please refer to the email that was sent to you in June for the time your child will come to school.

All Kindergarten students will come on Friday from 9:00 - 11:10am.

​​Yellow School Bus Tra​nsportation

Yellow school bus routes for the 2021-22 school year are created o​ver the summer and based on the addresses submitted before the pre-registration deadline in June. Transportation continues to accept registrations after the deadline; however, students are added to the closest existing stop with available space. Processing times could be up to six weeks at the beginning of the school year due to volume.

More information about 2021-22 transportation service levels and proposed fees are posted on the CBE website.

Your bus stop location and time will be available in your MyCBE / PowerSchool account by mid-August.

Conditional riders can also register using MyCBE / PowerSchool. Applications will be considered after eligible riders registrations have been processed.

Learn more about transportation on the CBE website.
