Collingwood School Weekly Update September 14-18, 2026
See our School Calendar for our dates and events.
Message from Principal, Eve Moreau
It was a pleasure to join our School Council and Parent Association meeting on Wednesday. There was a wonderful turnout of parents and a lot of lively discussion about topics of mutual concern and interest.
I look forward to seeing many of you at Meet-the-Teacher after school on Friday, September 18. This will be a wonderful opportunity for you to connect, learn more about your child’s teacher and classroom, and begin the year together.
Prior to the teacher presentations, you are invited to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy on the field after school. Please note that parents/guardians will be responsible for their child at the dismissal bell.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.
Eve

Terry Fox Run
Our annual Terry Fox Run will take place on Monday, September 21, 2026, at 1:30 PM.
Families are welcome to support this important cause by making an online donation or sending a loonie ($1) or toonie ($2) with their child.
More information about the event and how to participate will be shared next week.
Casino Volunteers
CSPA is looking for volunteers for this big fundraiser for our school on December 1 and 2, 2026.
Position descriptions and sign-up slots can be found through the Collingwood 2026 Casino Volunteer Sign Up.
Student Demographic Forms
We are pleased to share that, within the first two weeks of school, 63% of our families have already updated their Student Demographic Forms. Thank you to those families who have taken the time to complete this important task.
We encourage the remaining families to update their forms as soon as possible. Having current contact, emergency and health information for each student is essential to help us keep our students safe and ensure we can reach families promptly when needed.
Student Demographic Forms can be found in your MyCBE account under Online Forms and Registration.
Bus Transportation Reminder
If your child is registered to ride the school bus but will be picked up from school instead, please call the school office before 2:00 PM Monday–Thursday and before 11:30 AM on Fridays.
Students registered for bus transportation will be sent to and boarded onto their assigned bus unless the school has been notified by a parent/guardian before these times.
If you are unable to call the school before these times, please meet your child at the bus area at dismissal time and inform the bus driver that you are picking up your child. Students who are being picked up will be waiting near their assigned buses.
If a student is not present when their bus is ready to depart, the school will make an announcement for the student. We will no longer be calling parents individually at bus departure time. Following the announcement, buses will leave at their designated departure time to ensure transportation schedules are maintained.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us ensure a safe and smooth dismissal for all students.
Student Lost & Found
Please check our student Lost & Found regularly.
All unclaimed items will be collected and donated on the first school day of every month.
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
- No U-turns
- Respecting the speed limit
If families witness poor driver or pedestrian behaviour, please complete a Calgary Police Service traffic report.
New: Single Sign-Up for Ongoing Volunteer Opportunities
