It's getting to be that time of year again, when the weather dips down to very chilly numbers!

School Fees and Progress Reports
A gentle reminder to parents that fees for the 2024-2025 school year are live on the PowerSchool ParentPortal. As with Progress Reports, they are only viewable on a browser (not through the app). (Returning Student Forms are also much easier to complete on a browser than through the app!)
Fees are payable online using a MasterCard or Visa (it won't accept Debit or Visa Debit or any other credit cards, and PowerSchool adds on a 2.4% surcharge), or you can pay with cash or cheques (including post-dated cheques) in the school office. Payments can be made for as much or as little as you like; you don't need to pay off the entire balance in full at once.
All parents should have a ParentPortal; if you need help accessing yours please call the front office at 780-459-3114 (or visit in person) and we will be happy to assist you.

"I just wanted to send a huge thank you to you and everyone at Kinosayo School for the generous donations to the Season of Sharing campaign! I really appreciate you letting me pick up all the donations today, it was such a big help, and I’m so grateful for the support. The kindness of your school means a lot, and it’s amazing to see how much good we can accomplish when we all come together to help those in need. Thank you again for making this possible!"
