If you are unaware of your child's assigned time for these days please contact the school. Regular Kindergarten classes, times and transportation will begin on September 5, 2023.
Communication | (Phone, Email, Website)
The main point of contact with the school is our school email, Sibyllakiddle@cbe.ab.ca. Please use the school email for reporting student absences and lates. You can also contact the school via phone. Our school phone number is 403-817-3432. Our school website provides families with school related information. Back to school information can also be found on the school website.
School Supplies
Basic school supplies for all Sibylla Kiddle students will be supplied (pencils, notebooks, scissors, glue, etc.). Student supplies are purchased by the school and provided as part of your school fees. All students will have access to shared supplies in each classroom which are grade appropriate. Classroom teachers may send home lists of optional additional items once school begins in September.
Homeroom Teachers and Class Assignments
Families will receive notification of their child’s homeroom teacher on August 28 via school messenger email. This information will be accompanied by the first day of school plans as well as which doors your child will be using to enter and exit the building. All staff will be outside on the first days for supervision and will be there to help direct you and your child. Please plan to say goodbye to your child outside the school as parents will not be permitted to accompany children into the school.
Sibylla Kiddle 2023-24 Calendar|
The 2023-24 Sibylla Kiddle Calendar has now been published on our school website. It contains an overview of all the key dates for the upcoming school year. It also has our school bell times (no changes), lunch times and a breakdown of what Fridays our various Kindergarten groups will be attending school. Information on specific events such as Healthy Hunger, assemblies and field trips will be communicated to families as they are scheduled throughout the year.
Welcome 2023-2024 Staff
As we head into the 2023-2024 school year, we are excited to welcome back many of our Sibylla Kiddle staff as well as extend a huge welcome to many new staff.
