Movie Night

It was wonderful to see all the families out last night for the family movie night.  A huge thank to Parent Council, the committee looking after this massive event and all the helpers who volunteered their time.  Great fun was had by all! 

Child and Youth Wellbeing Family & Caregiver Series

The Calgary Board of Education invites all parents and guardians to join us in an online series focusing on child and youth well-being. These sessions will be hosted in partnership with experts from Alberta Health Services and will explore topics such as vaping, brain development, mental health, and sexual health.  Please see the attached link Child and Youth Wellbeing Family & Caregiver Series 

Hug and Go Area

Just a reminder that the Hug and Go area outside the front doors is reserved in the morning rush for parents to pull in, have their child safely exit the car and the parent then drives away.  Please do not park and walk your child to their door in this location.  Thanks for your help with this. Insert Map here
