Between 4:30 pm & 5:30 pm students and their immediate families will be invited to a barbeque sponsored by the Rotary Club of Calgary.

Please come to school and head to the gym area.
Classrooms will then reopen from 5:30pm – 7:00pm, for parents to visit classrooms and to meet with teachers and other staff. Kindergarten students in the Science Program will not attend interviews, they have already had interviews. The Kindergarten teacher will be available during the barbeque hour.
Science Program numbers
These numbers are lower than projected 300 students and much lower than the number of families who expressed an interest during the accommodation meetings and the weeks / months after. At this time we are around 76 students short of our projected enrollment numbers in the science program. This means that during this week, we will be re-organizing classrooms to reflect the lower enrollment numbers. It has been necessary to reduce our total staff numbers by three. As soon as we have worked out the details of our new classroom structures, we will inform parents. After Tuesday September 12, only a few science program classrooms will be accepting students. No new science program students will be accepted after September 30 until the Lottery Process is in place in the early Spring. At that time available spaces in classrooms that have not reached the capped number of 25 will accept new registrations.
School Council Meeting
Please remember the first School Council / Parent Society meeting will be held on September 19, 2017 beginning at 6:00 in the Learning Commons. A new council will be elected.
