Remind| School Fees

This is a reminder to please pay your school fees in PowerSchool. The school has already paid vendors for many of our past field trips and now we are waiting for families to pay their fees to cover these costs. We request that all families please pay your child’s fees on time so that we can continue offering these valuable learning opportunities to our students.

Parents/guardians are welcome to come to the office to pay fees in person, or pay online. Please call the school office if you need any support with paying fees.

Inform| Family Trips and Extended Absence Forms 

We are receiving more requests for learning support from families wishing to travel. If choosing to travel during the school year, please be aware of the following: 

• The Calgary Board of Education believes there is a strong positive correlation between attendance and effective education. 
• The Education Act excuses students from attending school due to illness or other unavoidable cause, religious holidays, suspension/expulsion, or permission from the Board. An absence outside of these exemptions will be recorded as an unexcused absence. 
• Absences may affect a child’s academic progress at school. 
• Schools are not mandated to provide schoolwork for extended absence.  •
• It is parents/guardians’ responsibility to review and support their child’s learning. 
• The cumulative effect of multiple extended school absences could result in significant gaps in a child’s learning and achievement. 
• Absences may affect a child’s peer relationships at school. 
• Make sure to notify the school and the child’s teachers of leave of absence by filling in The Leave of Absence Form. This form can be found in the main office.
