Principal’s Message

Dots are Everywhere!

Parent-Led Conferences

Our first set of school conferences will be held on September 21 and 22, 2023. These conversations are intended to be parent-led with an opportunity to set some early learning goals and for us to understand how we can best support your child. These conferences will be in-person, at the school.

We strongly encourage parents to include their children as part of the conference. This allows students to have a voice in their learning goals and to take personal responsibility for their learning.

Online registration for meeting times can be found through your MyCBE Account. This system opens at 8:00 AM on Thursday, September 14. Once signed in, click on “MyCBE” then click on “My School Conferences”.

Attendance Notifications

Beginning on Monday, September 18, if your child(ren) are absent and we have not received notification of their absence, parents will receive an automated phone call and email letting them know about the absence.

As a reminder, parents are asked to call (403-817-3432) or email (sibyllakiddle@cbe.ab.ca) the school when their child(ren) will be absent.

Social Council/Parent Society Notes

To receive emails with information related to fundraising opportunities, council events such as dances and fun lunches, families must subscribe to commercial messages.

On September 21 from 4:00 pm to 7:30 pm, there will be a family event held outside the school on the compound that will coincide with Parent-Led Conferences.
