Dear Parents and Guardians,

Please find info below to assist you in planning for the week ahead.

Student Leadership Initiative - Helping Hampers

Helping Hampers officially kicks off on Thursday November 13 and will run until Thursday November 27. This is one of Scarlett’s largest and most important fundraisers. All donated money will be put towards building hampers of essential house-hold items, clothing, gifts, and gifts cards for families in need, right in our school community. Students can donate in their Period 1 classes. With every $2 donated, students will be eligible to win some really awesome prizes, including the grand prize of a $100 Amazon Gift Card. Let’s rally to ensure these families have what they need over the winter months. Thank you for your support.

Parent-Teacher Conferences

On November 28 we will be holding our Term 1 School Conferences to give you and your child(ren) an opportunity to speak with teachers about their learning. The schedule is as follows:

• Friday, November 28 – 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM – Online via TEAMS (times were just extended)
• The booking system will open on Wednesday, November 19 at 9:00 AM and will remain open until November 26 at 6:00 PM.

You can access the booking tool through your MyCBE account and going into MyCBE website. After you have accessed the booking system you will be able to select the appropriate teachers and times that work for you. Please be sure to only book with your child’s Term 1 teachers.​

Once you have booked your appointments you will receive confirmation emails which will also include links to joining the online meetings. It may take up to 24 hours to receive the link for the online meeting.  

For online conferences, please use the link sent to the email address on file with the school to enter the online conferences to meet with the teachers at your designated time. When prompted, please enter your name as it appears in the student’s information at the school. The teacher will be alerted that you are in the virtual lobby for the meeting and will admit you when your booking time begins or when they finish their previous meeting. 

Please note that if you are a CBE staff member, you will not wait in a meeting lobby but go right into the meeting room; be cautious not to enter early while another Conference is in session. 

• If you are looking to book with Mr. Donovan, Ms. Fair or Ms. Tran, please be sure to use that specific booking tab.

If you would like to reference detailed instructions for this process you can access them here. 

If you encounter technical issues, please reach out to your designated Assistant Principal (A-G Kate Malayko; H-O Myles Gibbs; P-Z Jason Wutzke) or contact the school (403-281-3366) and we will do our best to work through any difficulties.
