Hello Families,
March brings lots of opportunity for parents and students to have your voice heard in regards to Next Year School Planning. I will be sending a School Planning Survey to parents asking you to provide feedback about our School Development Plan and School Fees. Grade 4 students and parents will be participating in the Alberta Education Assurance Survey. Grade 5 and 6 students will be participating in the CBE student survey. During our online School Council Meeting on Thursday, I will be sharing information about our School Development Plan, School Budget and School Fees. Please take this opportunity to engage and or provide feedback through the surveys. Here is the link to the School Planning Survey:
