Principal's Message, Eve Moreau
Dear Collingwood Families,
We are pleased to inform you that our school has been allocated 2 additional teaching position(s) for the 2026–27 school year through the Government of Alberta’s Class Size Reduction Grant and this week we began our interviewing process for Grades 3 and 4.
This grant funds teaching positions that support improved learning conditions in kindergarten to Grade 9 classrooms.
This funding is specifically intended to help reduce class sizes in core subject areas (English Language Arts/Spanish Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies), with priority given to schools experiencing the greatest class size pressures.
This decision was made using system-wide data that considers:
- The number of classes exceeding provincial class size benchmarks
- Projected enrolment and class organization
- School programming and grade configuration
- Our goal is to ensure students benefit from:
- Increased teacher attention
- Improved classroom learning environments
- Greater support for diverse learning needs
We remain committed to supporting strong learning environments for all students and using our resources thoughtfully and strategically. We look forward to sharing an update on our new staff following this round of job postings.
Sincerely,
Eve Moreau, Principal

Free Hot Dog Snack/Treat (Students must still bring their own lunch and snacks)
All students will enjoy a free hot dog treat, provided by the Collingwood School Parent Association.
Important: This is a treat. Please ensure to pack a lunch and snacks for your child. If parents/guardians plan to attend the event, please note that hot dogs are only for students.
Details of the Hot Dog Treat and how to request Allergy/ Vegetarian / Gluten Free can be found here
Lunch Times:

All students in Grades 1–6 will eat lunch at this time. Please pack a lunch for your child, as the hot dogs are intended as a snack/treat only. Students tend to work up an appetite due to the many physical activities throughout the day, so a packed lunch is strongly recommended.
