Dear Parents and Guardians,
Please find info to support you this upcoming week. Note that the weekly email is always uploaded to the school website as well. Our students are entering the latter part of the semester, and we are here to support them. Please have your child access Success time in the morning or afterschool if they want to benefit from additional time with their teacher.
January Exam Schedule
Our January 2025 exam schedule has been released. Teachers will begin communicating this with their students. It has also been posted on the website. If students have any exam conflicts they are to be communicating with Ms. Malayko (kgmalayko@cbe.ab.ca) before winter break. Please stay tuned for a teacher-specific tutorial schedule coming in the next few weeks. Learn more on our Exam Schedule page.
Student Leadership Update
Socktober successfully raised over 300 pairs of socks to donate to the Calgary Drop-In Center. Thank you to our students and families for supporting this event! Thanks also to our Leadership teacher Ms. Ehrmann for your leadership and support of our students.
As the weather turns colder and winter settles in, many children head to school without the proper gear to brave the elements. What better way to give back to our community than by helping us collect children's gloves and mittens! We'll be donating these to our local elementary schools. Let’s come together to reach our goal of 300 pairs and make sure children’s hands stay warm this winter! Stop by the office to donate and don’t forget to fill in a ballot to be entered to win a $20 AMAZON gift card! Draw will be held on November 29. We can do this, go Lancers!
Course Withdrawal Deadline
Course Withdrawal deadline is Friday, November 22. Students wishing to drop a course for Semester One must have their form signed by their parent/guardian and submitted by this date. Course withdrawal forms can be picked up in Guidance.
