Next week will be a very amazing week. Que Pasa on Tuesday, School Council Meeting on Wednesday, and Family Fiesta on Thursday. Thank goodness for the long weekend. This is an amazing school, and the children and parents are fortunate to work with such outstanding teachers and support staff.
I would like to encourage all parents to attend the last School Council meeting of this school year on Wednesday . Your Trustee will be in attendance, and this is a wonderful opportunity to meet her and ask her questions. The meeting will be both in-person and online. We will meet in the school library at 6:30 PM. Here is the link to participate online. https://teams.microsoft.com/meet/293391694854020?p=8ziSgKgFQoINBGRhPU

Traffic Safety
For the safety of all our students and families, we ask that everyone respect the law in the school zone. This means no jaywalking, not doing U-turns, and respecting the speed limit. The school does not have any authority over drivers on the streets. Let’s use caution over convenience.
If families witness poor driver and pedestrian behavior, please complete a police service report: https://www.calgary.ca/cps/traffic/traffic-reporting.html
