Good morning, Ian Bazalgette Community.
We hope you have all been enjoying time with loved ones and friends during this brief CBE Fall Break. School begins at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. It is difficult to believe, but there are now only twenty-six school days until winter break. It will be a busy month ahead for students, with many events, class assignments, and playoff basketball and wrestling tournaments.
Please see important information for this week, and the school newsletter.
Child and Youth Well-Being Sessions
The Calgary Board of Education invites all parents and guardians to join us in a pre-recorded and live online series focusing on child and youth well-being. These sessions will be hosted in partnership with experts from Alberta Health Services and Recovery Alberta and will explore topics such as Peer Pressure, Healthy Relationships, Mental Health for Highly Sensitive Teens, and navigating Parent-Teen relationships. Acting on feedback from participants who joined us during our live online sessions over the past two years, moving forward we invite all guardians and parents to listen to the pre-recorded or live sessions at their convenience.
Suggestions from the Well-Being team are listed in this document:
Dressing for the Fall Weather
With the incredible weather we have been having it is hard to believe it is Fall. However, we know that Fall weather is approaching, and students need to be prepared for changing weather. Please ensure your child is dressed in layers to support the outdoor learning and lunch opportunities we offer each day. This is a great time to remind all students to swing by the lost and found to find those items they left outdoors during a warm lunch break.
Parent-Teacher Conferences Thursday, Nov. 28 and Friday, Nov. 29, 2024.
More information to come next week.
Personal Mobile Devices
Parents are asked to refrain from contacting their child/student on their PMD during the school day to avoid unnecessary distraction. Parents can contact the school office who can facilitate contact with their child/student during the school day, if needed.
School Fees
School fees for Term 1/Semester 1 option/complementary course fees have been applied to the students accounts in MyCBE.
Please pay as soon as possible. Beginning in Nov. letters will be sent home to accounts in arrears.
