Lost and Found

Our Lost and Found is getting quite full. Please take a minute to look at it the next time you are in the school. It is located next to the office and will be on display during Parent/Teacher Conferences on the 20 and 21.  Any items not collected by March 21 will be packed up and donated.

Lockdown Practice- Mr. Siakaluk

We had a successful Lockdown practice on Wednesday, March 5. As you know, this is an important drill to ensure the safety of our students. Students were informed of the lockdown practice a few days in advance and discussions took place in class to answer any questions and address any concerns.  We'd like to thank the four officers from Calgary Police Services who assisted us in this practice. For your information, Elboya School will have an unannounced lockdown practice sometime in the month of May. 

Western Canada High School Registration- Mr. Siakaluk

On March 4, a counsellor from Western Canada High School met with the Grade 9 students for high school registration. Students attending Western should now be registered. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mr. Derek Siakaluk.
