If you need an interpreter to assist with the conversation with your student's teachers, please email their homeroom teacher to request one. Letters will be sent home to confirm conferences with interpreters.

Cell Phones

As a reminder, phones are not permitted in classrooms at Peter Lougheed School. Students must leave them at home or in their lockers for the day, only accessing them at lunch. Please ensure you children are aware of this policy, and if they do have their phones out at lunch, they must ensure they are aware of where they are at all times.

Social Media Safety

Please ensure you are monitoring your children's social media use. Applications like Snapchat will default to allowing strangers to message your children and to broadcast their location. You can change these defaults so strangers cannot friend request or message your child You can also make use of the Snapchat family centre to more closely monitor your child's activity on the application.

Please see the following links for more information:

Physical Education

A reminder that we will be doing some outdoor modules during winter months and the students need to come prepared with jackets, sweaters, hats, gloves or mitts and boots can be beneficial too to keep feet from getting cold.

Athletics

This week in basketball our junior boys started the week with two super close losses to two of the top teams in the league losing by 3 in both. Our junior boys team played the opening night of their tournament on Thursday and won their first one and lost their second one to finish 2nd in their pool. They will play Saturday morning at 10:25 am at William D. Pratt. Our junior girls play in their tournament on Friday and Saturday this week at Twelve Mile Coulee and William D. Pratt school. Our senior boys won both of their games on the road quite handily to stay undefeated on the season. Our senior girls played on Thursday night in away games and won one and lost a close one in their second. Our senior boys are hosting on Wednesday night so come cheer on the boys!

A reminder to parents with athletes on the cross country, basketball and soccer teams that we need you to pay your team fees for us to be able to pay our referees, our tournaments and our end of season party. Please pay the fees on MyCBE.

Our wrestling team started their first practice on Wednesday with a good sized team. If your child is still interested in joining the team please see Mr. Barisow to get the information needed to be on the team.
