Dear Families,
We are pleased to inform you that our school has been allocated one additional teaching position for the 2026–27 school year through the Government of Alberta’s Class Size Reduction Grant. 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/French 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
- chool 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.
A big thank you to Ms. Hill and Mr. Wester for volunteering their time to coach a Stanley Jones grade 5/6 soccer team. We wish them good luck this weekend as they participate in the Diversity Cup soccer tournament at Forest Lawn Athletic Park.
A final reminder to AJA families. Any students in grades 6-8 who want to attend the Camp Chief Hector overnight field trip in September must submit their forms and deposit by June 19th. If you have any questions, please email Ms. Patterson cojpatterson@cbe.ab.ca.
Yellow School Bus Registration - To ensure service is in place for the first day of classes, families must apply for yellow school bus service for the 2026-27 school year by Sunday, June 14. Registrations submitted after this date will be accepted; however, access to bus routes may be delayed. Confirmed bus routes will be posted for families who registered by the deadline in MyCBE in late August.
