Reminders
Morning Entry Reminder
This is a reminder that the school provides outdoor teacher supervision beginning at 8:50am. Please be aware that if students arrive earlier than 8:50am, they will NOT be supervised and they will need to remain outside of the school. We welcome students into the school from 9am onwards. Please ensure that your child enters school through their designated entry/exit door and is not using the main entrance.
If your child is regularly late for school, we ask you to consider dropping them off earlier. IMPORTANT: Any late students should enter the school through the main entrance and come to the office for a Welcome Slip before heading to their classroom.
Emergency Lunches & Snacks
Recently, we have noticed that more students are requiring emergency lunches due to forgetting their lunches at home or not bringing enough food. Please ensure that your child is sent to school with their lunch as we have a limited supply of emergency lunches. If your family requires extra support with lunches please contact the office so that we may assist you!
As always, please call the office at 403-777-6350 ext 0 if you have any questions or concerns.
Have a wonderful weekend!
