Request| Attendance
When your child is late or absent from school, for any reason, please call the attendance line (403 777-7700) which is open 24/7 prior to 8:00 am. It is important to provide the reason for absence, particularly when we are closely tracking absence due to illness. Any information you are willing to provide in terms of gastrointestinal or respiratory symptoms is also encouraged and appreciated. If you prefer not to specify the reason, a call is still required to indicate that your child will not be at school. Your attention to this request significantly reduces the time spent by our office staff calling home to ensure student safety and inquire into your child’s absence
Request| Return Vaccination Forms
Completed forms must be returned to the school no later than Wednesday November 15, 2023 as Vaccinations are on Nov 21th.
Inform| Transportation Delays
During the winter, roads may also be congested and slippery resulting in possible traffic and bus delays. Unusually cold or stormy weather can result in buses being delayed. Unexpected mechanical problems with the bus may also occur more frequently at this time of year. Children should be dressed appropriately for the colder weather as buses cool off very quickly. While we are working with our transportation providers for solutions, the snow and colder weather will make getting to and from school more challenging.
CBE Transportation does not adjust routes or bus stops due to weather conditions.
There are a variety of ways transportation providers provide real time route information for families.
Note | In times when they are extremely busy, all service provider staff are dedicated to driving buses and they are not always able to accommodate this service.
- First Student uses a website located here
- Southland Transportation uses MyBusStop App and My School Bus Monitor for messages on delays.
