Important Reminder
Please check our school calendar for upcoming dates.
Monday, October 19: School Professional Learning Day — No School for Students
Traveling Art Exhibition Comes to Our School!
We are excited to welcome the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Traveling Exhibition (TREX) program to our school!
The TREX program has been bringing visual art into communities across Alberta since 1980, giving Albertans opportunities to experience original artwork close to home. The program also provides educational materials that help connect the exhibitions to learning in schools.
Our current exhibition, Athletic Aesthetics, brings the worlds of art and athletics together through 20 works from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Collection.
Students can explore photography, painting, drawing, printmaking and video while discovering artistic interpretations of activities such as cycling, badminton, skiing, golf, gymnastics and more.
It is a wonderful opportunity for students to slow down, look closely, ask questions and discover the many ways creativity, movement, practice and human ability can be expressed through art.
Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up Safety
The beginning and end of the school day are busy times around our school, and student safety needs to remain our shared priority. We appreciate everyone taking a little extra time and care during drop-off and pick-up.
Please help us keep our students safe by following these guidelines:
- Drive slowly and remain alert in and around the school zone.
- Park further away from the school and walk to pick up or drop off your child.
- Avoid stopping or parking in locations that block visibility, crosswalks, driveways or designated safety areas.
- Ensure students enter and exit vehicles safely, preferably from the side away from moving traffic.
- Watch carefully for students who may be walking, biking or crossing the street.
- Follow posted signs and the directions of school staff or safety personnel.
- Allow a little extra time. A few additional minutes can make a significant difference in keeping everyone calm and safe.
Thank you to our families for your patience, cooperation and continued commitment to keeping all our students safe.
