Holiday Christmas Hampers for W.O. Mitchell Families in Need

As we head into the holiday season, W.O. Mitchell School is once again preparing holiday hampers to support families in our community who are in need.

This year, we are kindly asking for gift card donations to local grocery stores or Chapters/Indigo. Donated gift cards will help families purchase food or meaningful gifts for their children during the holiday season. All donations will be shared anonymously with W.O. Mitchell families in need.

If you are a family in need of a holiday hamper, please contact Sra. Moreau or Sr. Scott to request confidential support.

If you are able to contribute to a holiday hamper, please consider dropping off gift cards at the main office before Wednesday, December 17. Even small denominations can make a big difference for a family.

Thank you for your continued generosity and support in caring for the W.O. Mitchell School community. Your kindness truly makes an impact.

If you have any questions, please contact the school office.

Patroller Safety – Patrollers Start Monday, November 17

We are pleased to share that our Grade 6 Safety Patrollers will begin their crosswalk duties on Monday, November 17. These student leaders will be stationed at the crosswalk on Silvergrove Drive each morning and afternoon to help our students and families arrive and depart safely. It is each student's responsibility to know when their shift is and to find a replacement if they have a scheduled absence. The schedule is posted on the bulletin board in the Grade 6 hallway.

Please keep an eye out for our patrollers, follow all posted signs, and model safe crossing behaviour. Your support helps ensure a safe and positive experience for our young leaders as they take on this important responsibility.

Thank you for helping keep our school community safe!

Lost and Found

During Parent-Teacher conferences our lost and found items will be displayed for families in the hallway. Teachers will also take their classes to find lost objects. Any unclaimed items will then be donated.

El Centro de Bienestar | The Wellness Centre

W. O. Mitchell has redesigned a space in the office that is dedicated to student wellness. It includes a library of books on emotions, growth mindset, conflict resolution, and wellbeing. Students can also access art supplies, sensory toys, and a stationary bike for moments when they need support to self-regulate or access a place of quiet and calm.

Photo Retakes

Photo retakes will take place on December 11, 2025.

School Absences

Please remember to call the attendance line to let us know of your student’s absence – 403 777 6100 ext. 1.  This not only helps us as we complete daily attendance but is also a security concern in the case of emergencies.  Just a gentle reminder to keep your students home if they are not feeling well.

MyCBE Account

This year the CBE will be using SchoolEngage to complete some of the necessary yearly forms.  In order to access SchoolEngage, you will require a MyCBE account.  If you do not have a MyCBE account, on the MyCBE page click on Create a MyCBE Account.
