This is the time of year that we start planning and budgeting for next year. Your input is a very important part of this planning process as it gives us important data so that we can make the best plans possible prior to the start up in September. We are asking parents to fill out the following two surveys to help us with this planning:
Survey #1: Will Your Child be Returning to Alex Munro School for 2025-26:
To help us with enrolment planning we are asking all families to complete this survey to indicate if you plan to return to Alex Munro School or not. Please take the time to let us know your plans as this helps immensely in school planning for the coming year. Thanks for your help.
Survey #2: School Planning and Budget Survey:
We make better decisions to support student learning when we build understanding and work together. That’s why we ask you to share your perspectives about our school development plan, budget, and fees. At tonight's parent council meeting we presented our budget and school development plan and have asked parents to provide us with feedback by completing a 5 min survey. We are also inviting all parents to complete the survey regardless of your attendance at tonight's meeting.
- The survey is open from March 10 to March 31.

Thank you for providing us with your feedback!

Students Staying on the School Grounds Immediately After School
Now that the weather is warmer please remind your child(ren) of our policy that students need to go directly home after school and to check in with a parent at home before returning to the school grounds, if they wish to play with their friends after school hours. If a parent is at the school picking up their child, then they may stay to play. The reason for this is to have a consistent policy to ensure all families know where their children are after school hours. This policy also helps to ensure that students who need to get on the bus or meet their after-school childcare supervisor are doing it in a timely manner. Thank you for your support with this policy.
Grade 4 Students and Parents | AB Education Assurance Survey
Every year, AB Education surveys students, their parents and all teachers on behalf of schools and school authorities to assess what is working well and where there is room for improvement. The survey asks students in grades 4, 7, 10, and their parents about their thoughts, feelings and experiences in school. The survey will be administered to grade 4 students in March 2025. Grade 4 parents should have received an email with the survey information as well. Please contact Mr. Belcher or Ms. Sasha if you have any questions. You can also access the information sheet here.
