Oh what a night!! Gator families thank you so much for coming to our 2024/25 Get the Scoop evening. We had a fantastic night meeting & chatting with you all, in fact we were having so much fun that these were the only photos we took. We hope you all had a great time & managed to see everything you planned to see. We will be pulling winners from the Scavenger Hunt & announcing them on Monday. A huge thank you to our wonderful student volunteers who helped by handing out the delicious ice cream & to our amazing custodians Mr. B & Mr. M for all of their help!

Thank you so much to Mrs. Bower for brightening up the office ladies morning with these beautiful flowers for our desks fresh from her garden at home after our late night at Get the Scoop it was a very welcome treat!

If your child will be absent, please email la@spschools.org or call 780-460-3728 (this is 24 hrs and you can leave a voicemail)

If a student needs to leave early, the office MUST hear from a parent/guardian. Please email or call the office and we will allow the student to sign out & meet you outside (or walk home).

If a student will arrive late, they are to sign in at the office. If we have been informed the student will be late, it will be an excused late. Without hearing from a parent, the student would be marked as unexcused.

If you have any questions, please ask the office.

Just a friendly reminder to ensure that your student brings a lunch and snacks with them every day.

Student Fees have now been applied to your Parent PowerSchool portal. Prompt payment is appreciated 😊.
