Hats On for Mental Health 

We will honor Hat’s on for Mental Health Day on Thursday May 8. Students and staff are encouraged to wear a hat to school on this day. 

Swimming 

The grade 4’s and Kindergarten had a great time swimming this week! The rest of the school will go swimming in June, see dates below. The $35 fee is already available on your My CBE account Student and Parent / Legal Guardian Sign In and the acknowledgement of risk forms will be going home closer to the dates. 

June 2-5: Grades 5, 6 & 2ABCD 

June 16-19: Grades 1, 3, 2E and EES Class 

2025-26 School Year Updates 

Due to our shorter duration on Fridays (9:02 AM-1:05 PM) we will replace our lunch break with a snack break.  The good side of this news is that families will only have to prepare lunches from Monday to Thursday (4-Day Lunch Program).  We also suggest bringing a full water bottle every day.  Lastly, next year our bell times are: 

Enjoy your weekend.
