Nordic Skiing Residency

This residency is weather dependent and the forecast for Monday is too cold with air temperature ranges between –16C and –22C without windchill.

There is a parent volunteer signup here for our scheduled three days (Monday to Wednesday). Grades 1-6 students were scheduled to have one hour time blocks at the Elbow Park Community Centre which falls within our walk-zone for field trips.

Bottle Thrive Fundraiser for James Short

Our school is partnered with Skip-The-Depot to collect refundables from your home.

  • Help support families in need at our sister school, James Short Memorial, which is located in the community of Penbrook Meadows, through our Parent Society’s ongoing bottle drive.
  • Bottle donations are collected from your door throughout the school year and the dollars raised will be distributed to families by way of Superstore gift cards.
  • You can schedule your bottle pick-ups by using the Skip-The-Depot app and connecting to our Elbow Park Parent Society in the list of donors. More instructions are available on our Fundraisers & Donations webpage.

Download/Print Report Cards

On Monday, January 27, your child’s report card was made available to view in your MyCBE account. As we receive many requests from parents to print archived copies, we would like to suggest that you view it on your PC or laptop in order to download and print your own copy. They are only available to parents for download during the current school year.

The report card is one of the ways teachers communicate how your child is progressing in their learning. Teachers may also share learning progress through parent/teacher conferences, your child’s daily work and assignments, and other ongoing communication with you.  

Martinis and Masterpieces Volunteer Opportunities

A team is starting to come together to plan the 2025 Martinis & Masterpieces event for the spring (bi-annual fundraising featuring art residencies and student art auction, silent auction and gala-style event). Anyone who is interested in volunteering can contact melissa.sawatzky@live.ca for sub-committee sign-ups or to chat about how to get involved.
