Announcements
Transportation Registration for the 2024-2025 School Year
Yellow school bus service levels and proposed fees for the 2024-2025 school year have now been posted. The cost will be $260/student or $130 for kindergarten students (no change from the current school year).
What you need to know:
∙ Registration is available by logging into your MyCBE parent account and clicking on the Fees, Waivers and Service Registration tile.
∙ Families must register by Sunday, June 16 for students to be added to routes for the start of the next school year.
∙ Transportation will continue to accept registrations after the deadline; however, students are added to the closest existing stop with available space. Processing times could be up to six weeks at the beginning of the school year due to volume.
We encourage all families to register by the deadline if they think they will use yellow school bus transportation this fall. You can cancel before the end of September with no financial penalty. Register Now for Yellow School Bus Service - Ranchlands School (cbe.ab.ca)
Year-End Online Report Cards
Online report cards will be enabled for viewing from June 26, 2024 to July 26, 2023. During this window, parents/legal guardians are welcome to view report cards online via their MyCBE parent account. Report cards will NOT be printed off and sent home. For best access to information, log in to the MyCBE portal instead of using the PowerSchool App.
Medication Stored in the School Office
If you have provided us with medication for your child, please drop by the office anytime between now and Friday, June 28, to pick it up. We are unable to send medication home with your child, no matter what their age/grade. Any medication not picked up by June 28 can be picked up in late August or September when the school office reopens.
Lost & Found Items
Please be sure to ask your child to check the lost and found for any missing items by Tuesday, June 25. Parents may drop by after school to have a look as well. Any items remaining will be donated.
7 Sacred Teachings
The 7 Sacred Teaching for the month of June is respect. The students will be learning that the buffalo represents respect and that we must respect not only each other but ourselves and our bodies. It is important to be respectful to all creations.
