Good morning AFS families,

We hope you are enjoying your long weekend and able to spend some time together as a family.

A couple of reminders we’d like to share with you.

Outdoor Clothing

Please send your child to school with all the appropriate clothing to stay warm outside. If you need clothing, please let us know and we will share what we will give what we have at the school to your child. HATS, MITTS, COATS, SNOWPANTS, BOOTS, are all required. Your children go outside whenever possible. When it is cold they still go outside, even if it’s only for 5 minutes. We do have days where the wind is too strong and we need to keep students and staff inside for their safety. We also know that movement and fresh air are vitally important to all of us for better health and learning. Therefore, if at all possible, your child WILL be going outside. There are some students who tell us they aren’t bringing their outdoor clothing because they are going to stay inside all day. Everyone needs to bring their clothing, everyday, thank you. If you are missing any of the above items please let us know and we will do what we can to support your child.

Report Cards

A few weeks ago (January 27) this years first report card became available through your MyCBE account. More than one family has noticed that they can no longer access report cards from previous years. If you require copies of your reports please email the office (alexferguson@cbe.ab.ca) requesting pdf versions. Please state your child’s legal name, grade, and which June report cards you would like to receive. It might take a few weeks for all requests to be processed, please be patience. To avoid this need in the future, PLEASE, download your child’s January 2025 report card now. They are only available until May 20, at which point you will no longer be able to access them through the portal. Also, set consider setting yourself a reminder for the last week in June/first week in July to download the year end report card. Those are only accessible until the end of July. Thank you for your consideration.

February Agenda and November Minutes

Thank you for all you do to support our school. We hope that your child has told you all about their time with Aaron, our shadow puppetry artist, as well as other learning last week. We look forward to welcoming your child back to school on Tuesday morning.

Stay warm,
Your AFS Staff
