Colts Connection - Parent Edition

Thank you to all the families who were able to make time in their busy schedules to come and celebrate their child's learning on May 18th. It was so great to see our families in person and students so excited to show their parent(s)/guardian(s) around the school. We had over 500 people come through our school that evening! Also, a huge thank you to our School Council who volunteered their time to provide a hot dog meal for everyone free of charge!

Our reporting process is through our Progress Reports (December and March) and a year end report card. You are also able to keep up to date with your child's progress through the parent portal (easiest to access through the PowerSchool app on a mobile device).

Report cards are sent home with students on the last student day of the school year. If your child(ren) are not/will not be in attendance on the last day of school your child's report card will be mailed out. Please make sure your mailing address is up to date in your parent portal.

We are having a Traditional Cree Feast for all of our Grade 6 students and their families on June 9th at 12:00 pm. The Feast is to celebrate our Grade 6 students and send them off to Ponoka Secondary Campus in a good way.

Our amazing School Council will be back at it on June 20th. This has been a long standing tradition at our school that has been on hold for the past two year. Every student will get to enjoy a delicious pancake breakfast on June 20th. If the weather is nice, we will be having it outside. This does require a lot of hands to make light work so if you are willing and able to help out, please contact the school and we will pass your information on to Angie Taylor our School Council Chair.

Cilantro and Chive will be by the school on June 6th to present us with the amount of money raised through their Ice Cream Sandwich fundraising program. We are excited to be able to refresh our recess equipment with money raised.

The Alberta School Council Association is asking parent(s)/guardian(s) to fill out a short survey about they impact the COVID19 pandemic has had on their child's academic and/or social and emotional well-being. Please click here to fill out the survey.

Our Kindergarten to Grade 3 teachers have been participating in a variety of Professional Development sessions over the past two weeks and will continue this in the coming weeks as they plan and prepare to implement the new curriculum next year. Next year new Math and Language Arts curriculums will be taught in all of our Kindergarten to Grade 3 classes. If you have not had a chance to look at what is in the new curriculum click here.

Classlists for 2022/23 school year are released through your Parent Portal in Late August. When you log into Parent Portal you will be able to see your child's homeroom teacher for the school year.
