Parent Volunteers

We would love to have you volunteer at Annie Foote School.   We not only need volunteers for field trips but for indoor events as well.  We are pleased to tell you that our students will be taking part in Alien In-Line skating again this year.  We need some parents who can help us in the gym with preparing the students to skate (tying skate laces etc.).  If you have, or are willing to get, security clearance, please let Mr. Bill Murray (wemurray@cbe.ab.ca) or the office know.

Drop Off / Pick-Up

Parents are reminded that the front of the school is reserved for bus parking only.  Please do not pull into this space even “for a minute” while you drop off your children.  Thank you for your consideration.
