School Fees
There is a fee for all in school and out of school field trips. These field trips are very popular and valuable learning experiences for students. Fees are uploaded to your MyCBE account throughout the school year. Currently there are thousands of dollars of outstanding school fees. Please take a moment to log on to your MYCBE account to check if you have outstanding school fees. We need your support by paying these fees so that we may continue to offer these enrichment opportunities for students.
Clothing Donation
As the weather warms up and our playground gets wet and muddy we are in need of more pants, and socks for grade 3, 4 and 5. Many students are coming to the office for a change of clothing.
