We are so proud of our students participating in the Terry Fox Run!  Students enjoyed the beautiful day and the exercise.  Classes have been doing some art and writing activities about Terry Fox as well. Thank you to those families who have donated “Twoonies for Terry”.  Mr. Murray will continue to collect Twoonies Monday. 

Mr. Luckman’s class had a great time building the tallest structures they could using straws and tape. Their teamwork and creativity was admirable! 

New Entry Plan

Beginning on October 7, we are going to have a “soft entry” into the school.  Instead of lining up in the mornings, students will be welcome to come into the school through their regular doors beginning at 8:55am.  Outside supervision will continue at 8:50.   A soft entry will allow students to stagger into the building and be ready for learning at 9:05.  Especially at our elementary door, it takes a lot of time for students to come in, take their shoes off and get to their classrooms.   We hope by using a soft entry our students will meet their teachers inside and settle into their rooms by 9:05.  

Photo Consent

Many of our families have not filled out their “Annual Consents” on their MyCBE account.  There are two questions asking if your children’s photo or work can be shared within the Calgary Board of Education or in the community.  If you permit your child’s photo to be included in the weekly emails, please say “yes” on the Annual consents. 

Indoor Shoes

Please ensure that your children have a pair of indoor shoes.  So far the playground has been quite dry, but ALL students (including grade 5 and 6 students) do need to change into indoor shoes.  This will be especially important when we begin to have snow.
