Note from the School  

It’s been wonderful having students back in the building this week. Classrooms are busy once again as we reconnect, re-establish routines, and engage in meaningful learning together. 

Thank you for your continued partnership and support. We’re looking forward to the weeks ahead and all the great learning still to come. 

School Council 

We are excited to invite you to our first School Council Meeting on November 18, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm, held in person at the school. School councils play an important advisory role, ensuring that parent and community perspectives are reflected in school decision-making. They also help share information about the school with the wider community. We are still looking to fill some important elected positions on school council. Holding a position is wonderful opportunity to be involved and have a voice in your child’s educational experience. 

Photo Retakes 

Photo retakes will be Monday, November 24. This will be the last opportunity for photos.  

Fall Break – Nov. 10-12 

Fall break will proceed as scheduled. After careful consideration, it was decided that changing the school calendar at this time would impact staffing, transportation, as well as family plans already in place. 

If other adjustments to the school calendar are necessary, staff and families will be notified as early as possible. 

School Athletics 

To ensure a safe and well-prepared return to athletic competition, a paced re-entry plan for school athletics will be implemented. 

Next week will be dedicated exclusively to practices, allowing coaches, athletes and teams the necessary time to re-establish conditioning, skills, and overall game readiness. Starting in mid-November, school teams will begin exhibition and league games. 

Extended Absences  

All students missing 5 days or more must complete an Extended Absence form prior to their first day of absence.  Parents/guardians 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”.  

Busing 

If your child takes bussing please be aware that the school does not have any additional information about the location of busses than what is found on the app. We request all parents please sign up for the app through: www.mybusstop.ca . The code to register for Fairview Bussing is CBESD8GDT8.  

We are aware that bussing is has been challenging early this year. Again, the school does not create or assign bus routes. Any concerns or questions should be directed to CBE Transportation. Their email is: transportation@cbe.ab.ca . 

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.  

Sincerely,

Fairview Admin
