Principal's Updates

Happy New Year! I hope this message finds you all in good health and high spirits as we embark on a brand-new year filled with promise and opportunity. January brings with it a sense of renewal and a chance for us to set new goals and aspirations.

As we reflect on the past year, I am incredibly proud of the accomplishments and growth we have achieved as a school community. Our students have demonstrated resilience, determination, and a commitment to learning that is truly commendable. I want to express my gratitude to our dedicated teachers, supportive staff, and involved parents for their continuous efforts in nurturing a positive and enriching learning environment.

As we step into 2025, let us renew our commitment to academic excellence and character development. Our focus remains on providing a well-rounded education that not only prepares students for academic success but also instills values such as respect, responsibility, and resilience. Together, we will continue to create a school culture that fosters curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning.

I encourage you to stay engaged and involved in your child's education. Attend school events, communicate with teachers, and participate in the various activities we have planned throughout the year. Your partnership is vital in creating a supportive and thriving school community.

This January, let us embrace the opportunities for growth and positive change. I am excited about the possibilities that the new year holds for each and every one of our students. May 2025 be a year of achievement, discovery, and success for all.

Sincerely,

Alanna Sampson

Kindergarten Testing is Underway in our Schools: 

Alberta Education has mandated literacy and numeracy screening assessments for all Kindergarten students. The use of the government’s provincial assessment tools will extend into Grades 1 to 3 next year. Linked below is further information about the assessments:

Literacy Screening: Parent/Guardian Information Sheet

Numeracy Screening: Parent/Guardian Information Sheet

INCLEMENT WEATHER DAYS…

Parents of bus students: please contact our school to confirm if your child will be absent on Yellow Days. It is imperative that parents are familiar with our inclement weather protocols (which are available on our school website and the division website). To ensure the highest safety, parents are reminded that on a Yellow Day (meaning that buses are not running, but schools are open and classes are being held), our school still requires you to contact us if your child will be absent. Some parents may choose to drive their child into the school, while some parents will choose to keep their child at home that day – we can’t make assumptions when safety is at stake. 

THE COLD IS HERE
