• Phys Ed Permission Form: Every student is required to have a Phys Ed Off Site Activities Permission Form completed to allow the Phys Ed department to take students skating, curling, tobogganing, to play tennis, soccer, track and field and any other activities that won’t be on school grounds. Please complete the permission form on PowerSchool. 
• Student pick-up/leaving early - When picking up or signing your student out during the day, we kindly ask that you provide at least 30 minutes notice.  This provides the office enough time to locate the student, inform the teacher, have the student gather their belongings, sign out, etc.  Depending on what is going on in the office at the time and where the student is (ie PE or an Option class), this can take a few minutes. We understand some situations will require an urgent pick up, but early sign outs with little to no warning are difficult to accommodate.  Thank you for your help!
• We are lucky to host two Alberta Foundation for the Arts Travelling Exhibition Program (TREX) exhibits this school year.  Our first one is titled Room to Reflect and will be available for viewing during the weeks of November 17 to December 10. It will be set up in the learning commons and is available to see during school hours. Room to Reflect Information Poster
