Next Year Registration
As we plan for the 2025-26 school year, we need families to advise the school as to whether they are moving out of Fairview School. Only those families not planning on attending Fairview in the 2025-26 school year need to respond. Those families not planning on attending Fairview in the 2025-26 school year need to email the school at fairview@cbe.ab.ca with your students’ name, current grade and where they will be attending in the 2025-26 school year.
Student-Parent-Teacher Conferences
Parent access to conference booking closes on Wednesday, March 19 at 11:00 pm. All conferences will be online. Please remember to leave a 5-minute space between interviews to allow for transitions. Conferences are booked through your MyCBE Account and the link to your interviews are sent to the email attached to your MyCBE Account. Please use this link for any troubleshooting: Conference Troubleshooting
Alberta Assurance Survey
CBE sent an email to families with regards to the Alberta Assurance Survey. It would be appreciated if families could complete this survey. Families should receive codes from the CBE. The link to complete the survey is: https://public.education.alberta.ca/APOS/
Students Praying at School
We sent out a note earlier this week with updated information about students accessing prayers during school time. We have attached that note to this email. Please click the link to update the information about prayers. Student Prayer Request Form
Ramadan is being acknowledged by many of our families. Please remember that we have limited prayer space. We do our best to accommodate all students looking for a prayer space. Due to the time of the afternoon prayer, we will not be able to provide prayer space.
Weather Reminder
Reminder that spring weather can be unpredictable. Students need to come to school prepared for any weather.
Athletics
Volleyball Season is quickly coming to an end. Due to the CUPE strike, all other Athletics (Badminton, Track & Field, Touch Football) have been postponed.

Extended Absences
All students missing 5 days or more must complete an Extended Absence form prior to their first day of absence. Parents must remember that they are responsible for the child completing the necessary school work while they are away. Please print and submit the attached form if you are planning an extended absence. You can also google “Extended Absence Form CBE”.
Traffic Safety
Please obey all posted traffic signs for drop off/pick-up and parking. Do not park in the city bus zone. For student safety do not U-turn at the crosswalks on Fairmount Drive.
Bussing Information
We urge you to sign up for the appropriate bus tracking apps if you want more information. Unfortunately, at the school we do not have any additional access to information about bussing than you can get from the apps. Directions on how to register for the Southland and First Student Apps have been sent to parents. Currently, TransDev does not have an app that you can use. For TransDev, you can call the following number: 587-349-6652
Student Drop off and Pick Up
Please remember that our front doors do not open till 8:50am. The areas outside of the school are meant for drop and go. You should not be parking for any length time. Students are to be picked up promptly by 4:00pm. Should you be picking up your student at the end of the school day and need to advise the student of pick up, please do so before 3:30pm Monday to Thursday or 1:15pm on Fridays.
Fairview Contingency Plans During Labor Action
Further to the emails that you have received directly from CBE, we want to provide clarification regarding school operations during CUPE labor actions beginning on Monday.
As always, our school doors are unlocked and open at 8:50 AM, and all students must be picked up by 4:00PM. There is no supervision for students outside of these times. The exceptions are late buses and our current volleyball schedule. As a school we have flexed to accommodate minor adjustments to drop off and pick up but we will no longer be able to do so.
For those involved in volleyball, your coaches will communicate directly with students regarding alterations to their practice schedule and if necessary, game schedule. We will not be doing morning practices. All evening practices will now conclude by 5pm and students must be picked up by 5:15pm.
Please note that during any sporting events, only parents and guardians of participating athletes will be permitted to attend the games. Siblings of players are only permitted if the parent or guardian is present. This will be strictly enforced.
We want to assure you that once the labor action concludes, we will return to business as usual. We remain committed to supporting our students' learning and well-being. Further details or if you have specific questions, please refer to: CBE Labour Action
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
