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.

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.
