WAG Mar 6-10 | Parent Conferences, School Council, Busing, Visitors, Book Drive, etc

Acadia Families,

Below you will find some key updates. There are many little things going on.  

Conferences

Parent teacher Conferences are open for parents to book. This can be done through the MyCBE account. The link can be found here. The most current report card can also be found through your account.

School Council Meeting

School council will be hosting their March meeting on March 8 at 6:30pm. At this meeting, admin will be reviewing the School Development Plan, School Fees and introducing the Parent Input Survey.

Bussing Update

Administration has started discussion with CBE transportation for the relocation of our school bus zone signs. This will take some time as proposals will need to be taken through each level; the school, CBE transportation; and City of Calgary planning. At this time we ask that parents continue to be patient and address their concerns to 311. To help make the signage more visible for our families and families at David Thompson, we have brought our signs back out.

Visitors

This is a reminder that all visitors who come into Acadia school MUST come in through the front doors and sign in at the office. This is to ensure we know all visitors who are in the school for safety sake. If you have older siblings picking up students, please remind them that they are not allowed in the school and will need to wait outside. Picking a meeting spot is encouraged.

Book Drive:

Grade 6’s will be hosting their second book drive during Parent teacher conferences. All proceeds go towards grade 6 outdoor school. They will be selling paperback books for .50 cents and $1.00 for hardcover books.

If you have any used books you are no longer using and would like to donate them to this fundraiser, grade 6’s will be them accepting next week until March 9.
