Dear PLS Families,
Thank you to everyone who attended our Meet the Teacher evening. It was wonderful to have our building full of our families. Formal Student Progress Conferences will be held on November 27 (evening) and November 28 (daytime). More information will be communicated about how to sign up via PowerSchool and School Conferences.
We held two multi-grade assemblies on Friday, September 26 in recognition of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day. These assemblies were led by volunteer students coached by Ms. Neve Spotswood. We love coming together as a community at PLS and look forward to our next gathering.
Non-Instructional Day and National Day for Truth and Reconciliation statutory holiday
-Monday, September 29 is a non-instructional day (no classes for students)
-Tuesday, September 30 is a national statutory holiday (CBE schools and offices closed)
PLS Student Spectators at PLS Athletics
PLS teachers have volunteered to supervise PLS student fans/spectators at our home basketball games that run from 4:30pm-5:30pm – thank you, teachers. Expectations for student spectators are that they are respectful and supportive of all athletes, coaches and referees. All student spectators must leave following the first game. Student spectators may not attend away games at other schools.
Our home games are NOT public events. Our games are only for parents/guardians and our current students. Older siblings and other family members will not be permitted unless they are attending with a parent or legal guardian. Students who attend other schools will also not be permitted to enter unless they are accompanied by their parent or legal guardian. These expectations exist at all schools in our division, including Peter Lougheed.
Band Parents
Instrument rental forms will be going home with your student(s) this week and next. These forms are a necessary requirement to be part of Instrumental Music 7-8-9 courses. Please sign and return forms as soon as possible so students may begin bringing their instruments home for practice.
Additionally, I will remind all parents of the $100 rental fee for the use of CBE instruments. If this fee is a barrier for your family, please reach out to me at giramage@cbe.ab.ca to discuss alternative options or to waive the fee if eligible.
