School Drop off and Pick Up 
We are asking for your support in helping us maintain positive relationships with our neighbours during morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up times. We have received several concerns from community members regarding vehicles parking in front of residential driveways and stopping too close to intersections and crosswalks, especially at the intersection of Huntwick Way and 78th Ave (where the patrollers monitor the crosswalk). Please remember that parking is not permitted within 5 metres of a crosswalk or intersection, and driveways. Thank you for keeping driveways clear. 

Out of respect for the families who live around our school, we kindly ask that you plan a few extra minutes for arrival and departure, park legally, and model safe, considerate behaviour for our students. This includes using the crosswalks as some families are encouraging their children to jaywalk by running quickly across the street in front of the school.  Please model courteous and safe behaviour for our students.  

Student Fees  
All school fees and field trip fees can be viewed through your MyCBE account.  Most of the yearly fees are added to accounts in the fall, however, some fees (such as field trip fees) are added to your account throughout the school year. You may log in to your MyCBE account to view which fees are paid and/or are outstanding.  For more information on school fees please refer to the CBE fees website

Some families have outstanding fees from last school year. If you need assistance with last year's fees, please consider: 

  • Applying for a Central Fee Waiver.  The CBE is currently offering extensions for 2024–25 waivers until June 30, 2026. Please reach out to FeeWaiver@cbe.ab.ca for more information.  
  • Requesting a Payment Plan by contacting StudentFees@cbe.ab.ca. A payment plan requires a signed commitment to pay a minimum of $20 per month toward 2024–25 central fees. 

Lost and Found  
We have many items in the lost and found. You are welcome to visit the school to see if there are items belonging to your child. Our March 20 PST Conferences will be a great opportunity to do so! We recommend labeling all clothing items, especially outer winter wear, to help us return items to their rightful owners.  

Bottle Drive Fridays 
Just like last year, you can donate your refundable bottles to AMPA by dropping them off at the front of the school (by the free little library) every Friday. Our goal this year is to raise $2000 through our bottle drive Fridays.
