Hello Families, 

We had another great week. Ms. Beaubien’s Grade 4 class had a great experience exploring downtown and even got to meet Mayor Gondek, past Mayor Nenshi, and past Mayor Bronconnier. Ms. Klein’s and Ms. Salhabs Grade 1 classes had a great day at the zoo exploring and learning about the Arctic. Thanks to Ms. Beaubien, Ms. Klein, Ms. Salhab, and Ms. White for organizing these great learning experiences for our students. And a special thanks to all of our volunteers that made this trip happen. And a special special thanks to Angela Laveus and Leslie Lloyd from our School Council who supervised multiple days when we were short volunteers. Thank you everyone.

Updates and Information 

Ramadan Mubarak 

Ramadan Mubarak to all our families celebrating this month. 

For many Muslims in Canada, Ramadan is more than a time of fasting and prayer—it is a period of deep reflection, generosity, and gratitude. Ramadan occurs in the 9th month of the Islamic calendar and is expected to begin on February 28, 2025, and will continue for 30 days, ending on March 29/30, 2025 

Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences 

Due to the CUPE strike our Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences will be online through TEAMS. No in-person interviews. An invite to schedule an appointment with your teacher will be sent out Wednesday March 12. 

Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences are scheduled for: 

  • March 20 – Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences 5:00-8:00 (Online) 
  • March 21 - Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences 9:00-1:00 (Online) 

Staffing Update 

Bryden Clarke, one of our excellent Physical Education and Music teachers, unfortunately injured his leg. Carlos Molina will be joining our team while Bryden is away. We are excited for him to join us to support our excellent Physical Education program. Welcome! 

Assurance Survey - Grade 4 Parents  

If you have a child(ren) in grades 4, you should have received a request to complete an Alberta Education Assurance Survey . Please take the time to fill out this important metric. I use data from this survey to plan for the next school year and would like to have representation from our entire community.   

Grade 4 students are scheduled to do the survey in school next week. Learn more!
