Parents received an email from CBE central office on Tuesday, April 8th announcing the changing of bell times for many CBE schools. Alex Munro school is one of the schools on the list of the system wide bell changes for next year. Our bell times for next year will be changing to a 9:14am start with a dismissal time of 3:47pm. On Fridays the start time will be the same (9:14am) with a 1:17pm dismissal. The reason many schools bell times have been altered is because the CBE has been experiencing a large increase in student enrolment, many of these students live in areas that do not have a community school and require yellow school bus service. There was also new legislation passed by the Government of Alberta that changed the eligibility for bus service for students which also increased how many students will be riding on school buses next year. When changes are made to yellow bus transportation, it has an impact on bell times for schools. That’s because bell times are directly connected to transportation. Aligning bell times across schools makes transportation more efficient, allowing each bus to run multiple routes. This creates a reliable transportation system, ensuring students get to school safely, on time and ready to learn.
To learn more about the bell time changes please visit the CBE website bell times information page.
You can also visit the CBE Questions & Answers page for detailed information about the bell time and transportation service changes. Green Fools Physical Theatre Arts Residency – April 29-May 5
