Announcements
Administrator Exchange Program
Time certainly flies when you're hosting! Watching Andres connect with our students over the last week has been a highlight. This exchange is more than just a visit; it’s about opening our doors to the world, sharing the Ranchlands spirit, and learning how much we have in common across the globe.
Kindergarten Registration for 2026-2027
As we plan for next year, please ensure that you register your child for kindergarten as soon as possible. Please share this message with anyone you know who has a kindergarten student who has not yet registered!
Visit www.cbe.ab.ca/kindergarten to learn more about when your child can begin kindergarten and how to register for the 2026-2027 school year. Registrations are now completed online at: https://cbe.ab.ca/registration/registration/Pages/new-students.aspx.
Planning for the 2026-2027 School Year
It is hard to believe, but we are already well underway planning for the 2026-2027 school year! Please be sure to contact the office and let us know if your family will be moving out of our catchment area or if you know that your child will not be returning to Ranchlands School next year.
Please note: All of our Grade 6 students will be automatically designated to H.D. Cartwright School for Grade 7, and parents do not need to do anything unless you plan for your child to attend somewhere else for Grade 7.
Dogs on School Grounds
We would like to remind our school community that dogs are prohibited on school grounds in accordance with the City of Calgary's Responsible Pet Ownership Bylaw. We thank you for adhering to this bylaw and keeping all our students safe.
Ranchlands School Movie Night
School Council is organizing a family movie night on April 23. Doors open at 6:15pm, movie starts at 6:30pm. After a school-wide vote, we are excited to announce that our upcoming movie night will feature The Super Mario Bros. Movie! (2023 version). This is rated as PG. Feel free to bring a folding chair for your comfort. Gym mats will also be available for use. Admission is free but any cash donations will go directly to School Council to fund events for our students. See the flyer for listed concession items.
