It was great to meet so many of our new families during our Kindergarten and Grade 1 (New Students) Orientation last night. We look forward to seeing them in the fall.
Grade 5 Farewell
Please save the date for our Grade 5 Farewell. We will host our event on June 20 at 2pm.
Modular Units Removal
Alberta Education approved funding for the demolition of two modular classrooms at W. O. Mitchell School in March 2023 due to their poor condition. Demolition of the modulars reduces expensive recurring operating expenses (i.e., heat, electricity and maintenance). This summer, CBE will proceed with the demolitions. Safety measures will be taken to ensure the safety of students and community members who use the playground or school site while demolition occurs. This includes enclosing the area from the public and operating within specific hours according to municipal bylaws.
The work is anticipated to be completed by mid-September 2024. To ensure student safety during the beginning of the 2024-25 school year, precautions will be taken. This includes enclosing the construction area and working around school hours to avoid disrupting learning.
If you have any questions about this work, you may email accommodation@cbe.ab.ca.
Garden of Wonder
The Garden of Wonder Committee is organizing a cleanup of the Garden on Saturday June 15 at 10 AM. Please plan to come out and help. Make sure you bring garden gloves and weeding tools!
Extra Clothing
As we venture into Spring, rain is coming down more often. Please make sure that you pack some extra clothing if your child gets wet, especially socks.
