April 11th Update
Classes have been working incredibly hard on collaborative art projects for the MAPSS PEACE night fundraiser. We encourage all parents to attend this informative evening (the details are below). We hope you will view the auctions items thoughtfully created by all students.
A reminder that toys and personal items should be kept at home for safe keeping. We are fortunate at our school to have equipment for outside play. Students do not need to bring such items to school. A reminder to all students in card club that cards are only allowed at school on Mondays.
K-2 Classrooms have exciting things hatching!!! We have eggs. Students are learning the life cycle of three different kinds of birds. Stay tuned.
Mission Impossible | Gymnastics
Thanks for helping your child be head to toe ready to go. We have one more week of gymnastics and climber.
Sharing Back | School Planning
Thank you to everyone who participated in our school planning engagement. Due to low participation in our online survey, and in the interest of protecting the anonymity of those who responded, we won’t be sharing the results on our school website.
The survey responses we received have been reviewed and will be considered in making decisions about school planning.
We encourage your participation in future engagement initiatives. Your input is important to us, and we know we make better decisions to support student learning when we build understanding and work together.
Blocked Emails | How to ensure you are informed
Blocks can happen if you intentionally or accidentally tag an email as spam or junk, or sometimes when your email server senses that an email is coming from an electronic mailing system and tries to prevent spamming and block our emails. You will also be blocked from all CBE emails if you click the Unsubscribe link at the top of a CBE message in your email. To prevent blocks, it can be helpful if you add our CBE email addresses to your address book or safe senders list. This helps your email system recognize the messages as ‘safe’ and not flag them as spam. Emails to add could be our school’s email address, the teacher's email addresses and anyone else who usually sends the messages. If you also add cbecommunications@cbe.ab.ca and transportation@cbe.ab.ca (if using CBE bus services) or studentfees@cbe.ab.ca (central fees) it will help to ensure you receive central messages.
