Queridas familias
Thank you to all families who are able to attend the presentations from our teachers during Meet the Teacher event this Friday. We hope that you will also enjoy the food trucks organized by our School Council and Parent Association. A big thank you in advance for participating in the bottle drive on October 1st, organized by our School Council and Parent Association, to support the new playground that will be built later this year.
Please join me in welcoming your new Principal, Director Michael Scott who will be starting on Monday, Sept. 29.
It's been a real pleasure to be your Acting Principal these past few weeks. I truly enjoy working with all and getting to know the wonderful children and staff at W.O. Mitchell.
I wish you all a wonderful rest of the school year!
Con gratitud,
Sra. Lucie Lejeune,
Acting Principal
Weekly Reminders
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. For online help refer, to MyCBE - Creating an Account (includes instructions and a video).

Terry Fox Run
A Huge Thank You to Our Terry Fox Run Volunteers!
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the incredible volunteers who helped make this year’s Terry Fox Run a big success. Because of your dedication and hard work, we raised an amazing $2,015.66.
But the journey isn’t over yet. We’re continuing to raise funds until September 30th to meet our goal of raising $2900. If you’d like to contribute or share the cause with others, there’s still time to make an impact. Online donations can be made through the fundraising page https://schools.terryfox.ca/98255
Thank you again for helping us support such an important mission!
