We invite students to come dressed in their costumes for the day! Please make sure costumes are school appropriate and not too scary for our other students, especially our younger students. For costumes that include a mask, students are able to wear it during the Halloween parade in the afternoon but then need to have it off during the rest of the day. Students are also reminded to leave weapon accessories at home for Trick-or-Treating!

Our Remembrance Day Assembly will be presented by the students in 3M and 3/4L. All staff and students are asked to dress their best for the assembly. Any students who are part of Cubs, Brownies, Girl Guides, or Cadets are able to wear their uniforms that day. All families are invited to attend the assembly.

An evacuation is used when it is unsafe to remain inside the building. In an evacuation, students and staff exit the building and gather at a designated location outside the school. In the event students and staff must remain outside for an extended period of time, they may move to our alternate indoor evacuation centre. With safety as a top priority, we will continue to review emergency preparedness procedures with staff and students and will hold a variety of drills throughout the school year.

Please remember to report any absences to the school. With cold and flu season upon us, we wanted to remind families that when you are reporting your child’s absence, please remember to give a reason for the absence. If it is due to illness, please provide symptoms. It is not enough to say they are “unwell” or “won’t be in.” We are required to monitor student illness symptoms by Alberta Health. You may get a call-back for more information if reasons or symptoms are not provided.
