Principal’s Message

Winter Walk Day

Jump Rope for Heart

During the first few weeks of February students will be taking part in Jump Rope for Heart in Physical Education. Students will learn skipping skills as part of the PE program and have the opportunity raise funds for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Please see the attached flyer with how your family can sign up to support this fundraising effort.

Traffic Safety Reminders

With the colder weather and snowy conditions, we are reminding families of the importance of practicing safe driving habits around the school. Various traffic violations continue to happen that can put our students and families at greater risk of being injured. Safe driving habits help keep our students safe while also being respectful of the residents who have nearby homes. Often there is reasonable parking within 500m of the school, with much less traffic congestion. Please adhere to parking signs, including the bus zone, when driving to school. Do not park in crosswalks, on the corners of the school zone or in the school parking lot. Additionally, we are reminding parents that U-turns are unsafe and illegal in front of the school. Please take the time to go around the block.

We can all work together to take care of our community and keep it safe.

Severe Allergies Reminder

Our school is a nut aware school. Several students at our school have severe and, in some cases, life-threatening allergies to various nuts and nut products. Out of respect for these students and their families and in the interest of allowing all students to be safe at school we are asking that you do not pack lunches or snacks that contain these products.

January Report Cards

Families will be able to view online student report cards for Kindergarten to Grade 12 on Jan. 30, 2024. Report cards for the 2023-24 school year may be viewed, downloaded and/or printed.

Parents and Guardians can sign in to MyCBE to view student information, including report cards, comments from your child’s teacher, assignments and grades, and attendance information. For best access to information, log in to the MyCBE portal instead of using the PowerSchool App.

As a note, Kindergarten teachers will report progress to parents/legal guardians via January and June report cards. In January, progress in ELAL (English Language Arts and Literature) and Math will be communicated to parents/legal guardians via the report card. In June, progress in all discipline areas will be communicated to parents/legal guardians via the report card.
