Dear Parents & Guardians,

We had a smooth opening with our students! We were very excited to meet them and we look forward to connecting with our students and families this year. We know that starting the school year comes with both nerves and excitement. We are here to help. Reach out to your child’s teacher, Assistant Principal or Counsellor as needed.

Each weekend we will be sending you a weekly message in preparation for the week ahead. We hope to communicate with you in a format that provides easy access and important news about the school. Working closely with our families is important to us to provide a great school experience.

If you have thoughts about the way we communicate with you please reach out to your new school Principal – Carma Cornea clcorneaatcbe.ab.ca. The weekly email will replace the Scarlett Beacon and will share similar information in a format that is slightly easier to access directly in an email to you. We seek to balance providing enough information without information overload.

We will provide important dates at the start followed by headings with info you can scroll through to look at information that applies to your child. This information will also be posted to the website and will be housed there under Stories.

Our website has a lot of information for you to look at. See below

Student Services Update

Does your child have a question about their schedule? Guidance Counsellors work directly with our students out of the Learning Commons/ Library. You can also email them directly. See below:

Do students have questions about Post-Secondary, Career Counselling or Work Experience?
