Outdoor Play| 

Outdoor play and games at recess are an important part of our day at school. They provide ways for students to be active, cooperate with peers and engage in social activities. We are lucky to have several games painted on our compound for students to use during recess and outdoor play. One of these, wall ball, has become a popular activity with students.  

We enjoy seeing students coming together to play this game, and we are working to ensure that wall ball can remain an enjoyable and safe activity for all students. We are asking that students leave their own wall balls at home (the moon balls), just as we ask students to keep other toys at home. By doing so, we can avoid lost, misplaced or broken balls. We will still have school wall balls that students will be able to use to play wall ball during recess times.  

We are also asking that students do not play wall ball before school or immediately after school. The gym wall is a great place to play, however many families are walking to and from the doors to drop off and collect their children. To keep others safe, we ask that wall ball is not played during those times.  

Please help us by talking to your children about these evolving expectations. 

Child and Youth Well-being: A Webinar Series for Parents and Guardians| 

The Calgary Board of Education invites all parents and guardians to join us in an online series focusing on child and youth well-being.

Child and Youth Well-Being:   
A Webinar Series for Parents and Guardians  

CBE educators believe that parents and guardians can inspire their kids to make healthy lifestyle choices and increase protective factors – in order to do so, they need the right tools and information.

Well-being is a precondition for learning. As our understanding of student well-being continues to evolve, it is important for those that support children and youth to stay up to date on the same information so everyone can support student success.  The intention of the series is to advance student well-being by raising family and caregiver’s understanding of a variety of health-related topics. 

Thank you for your time and consideration to join us. 

Picture Day 

Picture Day is coming! School Picture Day will take place on October 11 and October 12.
