Reminders

School Fees

The 2023-2024 school year fees (including the Swimming Lessons fee) have now been assigned to MyCBE parent accounts. Please login to your account to review your child's school fees, which will include lunch supervision fees (if your child stays at school for lunch), transportation fees (if your child rides the yellow school bus) and a student supplies fee (annual fee assigned to all students). Payments can be made through your MyCBE account or feel free to visit the school to make a payment with your debit or credit card. Cash and cheques are no longer accepted. 

Are You Concerned That You Cannot Afford to Pay School Fees?

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 centrals fees: Yellow School Bus Transportation, Lunch Supervision Service fee and Student Supplies fee. Please log in to your MyCBE account to complete the 2023/2024 Central Fee Waiver Application. For more information visit: Central Fee Waiver | Fees & Waivers | Registration | Calgary Board of Education

Early Pickups From School

Parents are reminded to buzz at the front door of the school to announce their arrival when picking their child up early from school. There is no need to come inside and sign your child out; however, the office does need to ensure that we speak to you prior to taking your child.
