October 25, 2024 Update
Did you know that our school community is made up of over 360 students from over 50 different communities in south Calgary? Our families speak 19 different languages in their homes. We celebrate the uniqueness of every student and their contributions to our Montessori Learning Community. We are LBS. We are Montessori.
Thank you for attending parent teacher conferences. We appreciate the time to connect with parents and share in conversations around student achievement and next steps for growth. Partnering in education is important and we are grateful for the commitment from parents. Thank you, as well, for supporting the book fair. All money raised goes directly back to resources for the Learning Commons.
Halloween
As you plan ahead for Halloween costumes, please remember that we do not allow masks or weapons. More information will come from classroom teachers about information for the day. We will be hosting our annual costume parade at 1:00. Doors will open to the school at 12:45pm. To accommodate the parade in our small gym, mostly standing room will be available with seating for those who need it.
Thank you Volunteers
We would like to thank our dedicated volunteer community for all the ways you support our school such as field trips, casino, school council, healthy hunger, yearbook and book fair. Thank you to all of the parents who devoted time for the casino shifts. We would also like to thank all of the School Council Executive members for their commitment to our school. For those who are moving on from their 2023-2024 positions, we thank you so much for your years of volunteer service.
Thank you to our upcoming council for stepping into these roles for the year to come.
We are grateful for the yearbook volunteer who create a significant and meaningful keepsake for our staff and students. This is the cumulation of hours of work to compile photo memories. We encourage families who are interested in ordering a yearbook to please do so within the timeline to avoid disappointment of missing the orders.
Annual Forms
A message was sent during the week of Oct. 7 regarding annual forms parents / legal guardians are required to complete or review and update. These forms are a legal requirement from Alberta Education for funding purposes and are required to be completed each year, even if updates are not necessary. If your form remains incomplete, your child’s education may no longer be funded by Alberta Education
To complete these forms, you need to log into SchoolEngage. SchoolEngage is one of the applications found in your MyCBE account. This is the same account that you use to pay fees, view academic information, book school conferences and more.
Upcoming Dates:
November 7: Healthy Hunger
November 8: System PD Day – no school for students
