Announcements
Year-End Online Report Cards
Online report cards will be enabled for viewing from June 26, 2024 to July 26, 2024. During this window, parents/legal guardians are welcome to view and print 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.
Outstanding School Fees
2023-24 school year fees are now due! To prevent your account from going into arrears and being sent out for collection, please login to your MyCBE parent account to review your child's outstanding school fees and make a payment with a debit or credit card. Alternatively, please visit the school to make a payment with your debit or credit card. Please note that cash and cheques are no longer accepted. More information about the CBE School Fees can be located at https://cbe.ab.ca/registration/fees-and-waivers/Pages/default.aspx.
Are You Concerned That You Cannot Afford to Pay School Fees? Apply for a Central Fee Waiver!
No child is ever denied access to an education at the Calgary Board of Education due to their family’s inability to pay. The CBE offers a Central Fee Waiver which is based upon income level and covers the following fees: Yellow School Bus Transportation, Lunch Supervision Service Fee and Student Supplies Fee. Please log in to your MyCBE parent account to complete the 2023/2024 Central Fee Waiver Application. More information about the Central Fee Waiver can be located at https://cbe.ab.ca/registration/fees-and-waivers/Pages/Waivers.aspx.
