Term 2 – Mathematics Marks will Be Published in PowerSchool
Starting in mid-February, teachers will be publishing marks and assignment updates in PowerSchool on an ongoing basis. Approximately 1x/month. This will give parents the opportunity to view current marks through MyCBE PowerSchool on a more regular basis. Please ensure you have a parent account set up in order to see marks, report cards, fees, etc. For parents without a MyCBE account, to create one see: MyCBE - Creating an Account

All other student registrations for 2024-25
All K-5 students currently registered at Alex Munro school who live in our designated area will be rolled over to the next grade at Alex Munro school unless you inform us of your intent to attend a different school for next year. If Alex Munro school is not your designated school, then you will need to wait until the end of April/beginning May at which time we assess our capacity and whether we can continue to accept out of area students. If your child is in grade 6 they will be assigned to their designated middle/junior high school for next year which is Sir John A. MacDonald for the community of Huntington Hills and Colonel Irving for the community of Country Hills. Please let us know if you would like to choose an alternative program for grade 7 such as French Immersion (George P. Vanier) or Arts-Centred Learning (Sir John Franklin).
