Please be aware that the Scorpion Post will be emailed to families and posted to our website on a weekly basis so that our school community is aware of important information.

Request| Forms   

Students were provided with paper copies of three Sansom forms that needed to be completed. If you have not done so already, please take time to review, complete and return forms to homeroom teachers tomorrow.

All other forms must be completed as soon possible via SchoolEngage, which is accessible through your MyCBE account. If you have not done so already, please sign up for this valuable tool. More information can be found here.

Inform| Transportation 

For students residing outside walk zones, school bus stop and the route information will be posted in MyCBE. CBE Transportation continues to accept registration; however, students are added to the closest existing stop with available space. Families register and pay for transportation using MyCBE. Paper forms are available on Forms You Need; please scroll down to the header "Transportation." 

Families must be prepared and have back-up plans in place in the event their bus is delayed or canceled on short notice. 

Request| Staffing Information   

Schools are funded based on student enrollment numbers. We kindly ask families whose students may not be attending Sansom, please contact Ms. Lawrence immediately to let us know. This includes students who may be on extended holidays. 

Reminder| Student Behavior

When leaving the Sansom campus/property at lunch, student expectations as outlined in the CBE Student Code of Conduct still apply to actions and behaviours in the community and when accessing local businesses. Issues caused in the neighborhood/community and/or at local businesses will be dealt with by the school and possibly Calgary Police Service (CPS).

Request| Drop off & Pick Up:

Families are asked to avoid dropping off and picking up students along the road in front of the school. This year, we have almost 10 buses dropping off and picking up students. Parking in the bus lane, and where signs are noted not to stop, is disruptive to the traffic flow and causes visibility issues.

Remember – there are over 680 other students coming and going, so please be considerate in keeping ALL our students as safe as you would like for your own child(ren). Thanks so much for your cooperation.

Request| Volunteering Opportunities at Sansom 23-24

We are seeking volunteers throughout the year for field trips for all grades. Our first field trips will be running at the end of September! If you are interested in volunteering at any point, please come to the office to start the registration process. It can take a few weeks for paperwork to clear the system, so we strongly encourage you to come in ASAP!  Volunteers are invaluable and necessary for our field trips to run.  We are grateful for your time and appreciate your consideration and support. For more information, please visit the CBE website and complete the Annual Volunteer Registration Form
