Dear Families,
We had a great turnout at our Meet the Teacher/Food Truck Event last night. Thank you to families and students for taking the time to tour the school, visit classrooms, and speak with teachers. We look forward to working together throughout the school year.
Thank you to our volunteers who stepped up to supervise our SJ Camp Riveredge trip. These experiences could not happen without your support.
Any parents/guardians who are thinking about future volunteer opportunities must ensure they have completed their volunteer clearance; this involves applying for a police information check with a vulnerable sector search. Please follow this process:
- Come to our school office and show picture ID. Our office staff will generate a letter, that includes a VOAN number, through the CBE Security Clearance for Volunteers.
- Within a week you will receive an email from the Calgary Police Service that contains a voucher and link to complete the volunteer clearance form. This means the volunteer clearance is free of charge.
- Complete the online process, and within 3-4 weeks you will receive your volunteer clearance.
- Send a copy of the your volunteer clearance to the office.
We have many field trips taking place for students, and are planning more in the future. Please log onto your MyCBE account to ensure fees are paid for any field trips.
