Kindergarten Registration & Open House

Kindergarten registration for the 2026 - 27 school year began on January 12, 2026. Please tell your neighbours and friends who have Kindergarten-aged children and live within our attendance area.

Kindergarten Parent/Guardian Open House for next-year Kindergarten parents (enrolling for September 2026): Thursday, February 5, 2026 (6:00-7:00 p.m.). We have an information flyer available for download here.

Calgary Opera Residency

We have begun our residency with Calgary Opera which will create our centennial themed performances on June 4 and 5.

Each homeroom worked with Dustin, our librettist, to come up with the content and lyrics for the play. Each grade level has a different time era of study.

We will require some parent volunteers to assist with elements of the production including set design and costuming. If you are interested, please contact Mr. Fech: jwfech@cbe.ab.ca

River & Ice Safety

Every year around this time, we are made aware that students go on the ice on the Elbow River after school and on the weekends. We wanted to draw attention to this so that together, we can all work to ensure the safety of all students.

More information about ice safety can be found on the City of Calgary website, including what to do if someone falls through ice into water.

I would encourage you to speak with your child about the potential dangers and importance of staying off the ice on the river.

Digital Citizenship – Online Safety

Our students are beginning to learn about online safety with our learning outcome being that learners will demonstrate respectful and inclusive behaviour while using digital tools. Students are using a variety of age-appropriate resources either guided by the homeroom teacher or with instruction and individual time using the provided resources.

Parents may view and access the resources on our Digital Citizenship Plan that is available in the “Related Information” section on our Digital Citizenship webpage.
