Oct. 7^th - 11^th   

October 14^th – NO SCHOOL – Thanksgiving 

From Administration: 

Please remember when dropping off or picking up your children to choose safety over convenience. We have noticed many parents stopping their vehicles in the middle of the road and dropping off students or beckoning their children to step into traffic to get into their vehicles. There has been more than one narrow escape with a student nearly getting hit by a car when jaywalking to meet their parents. Illegal U-turns and parking in the bus zone endanger your child and others. Please take that bit of extra time and pick a meeting spot that is in a safe area. 

Urgent:  Update Demographic Forms 

This request is now URGENT. 

We are still waiting for many families to complete their Online Annual Forms.   Please sign in to your MyCBE/PowerSchool account, select Online Forms.

Fees in PowerSchool 

Families, please ensure you are checking PowerSchool regularly for fees.   New fees are added throughout the year.  You may also have historical fees from previous school years.  

Landscaping and Construction Update 

Our outdoor landscaping began on September 30th and is taking place on the south and east sides of the school. Contractors have put up fencing to ensure nobody is in the construction area, and we ask that families please remind their children to stay out of the area. The construction is expected to finish at the end of month, weather permitting. The stairs on the south side of the building are going to be demolished and removed starting this Friday. The concrete pour for the new stairs will begin next week. This will mean the south doors will be inaccessible until October 15th, at the earliest. We hope you are as excited for the new landscaping as we are! 

Athletics 

Our boys soccer team played their first regular season game of the year at Prairie Sky and the boys found great success winning the game 7-0 with lots of the guys getting on the score sheet.  The boys will play twice this week at home once against Crossing Park and the other against Ted Harrison.  Our girls' soccer team played their second regular season game against Crossing Park and started out super strong getting a 2-0 lead but in the end held on for a 2-2 tie in the game.  The ladies played great and will play their last game of the regular season this week at home versus Prairie Sky. 

Our junior boys basketball team played their first games of the season losing their first game to Prairie Sky and winning their second one against Ted Harrison.  They then played at the tournament at HD Cartwright and also split their games and will play in the fifth place game tonight at Cartwright.  Our junior girls also played in their tournament this year and played two tough opponents with two losses and will play in the seventh place game this evening.  Our senior girls played their first two games of the season at home losing a super close one to Terry Fox that came down to the last play of the game and also losing their second match.  Our senior boys started their year strong with two victories with all of the boys playing really strong basketball. 

Athletic Schedule. 

Please ensure that if your child is planning to try out for an athletic team that they have turned in their athletic tryout purple form to the phys ed office.  If students still need this form, they can pick one up from the pe office in the gym. 

Physical Education 

Just a reminder to all parents to ensure students are coming with proper clothing so they can participate in Physical Education class.  The weather is getting colder in the mornings so we need to have students come prepared to be outside.  Also, any students wearing crocs or sandals/flip flops will not be allowed to participate in the activities as there are major safety concerns with these types of footwear.
