Good morning Grizzly Families!
This week marked a fantastic return to Glamorgan after the Winter Break! Our students were full of energy as they settled back into their routines. A special highlight for our Grade 6 to 9 students was the exciting opportunity to attend a volleyball game at Mount Royal University. Just a friendly reminder: there are just over two weeks left in Semester One, and report cards will be released soon!
Please see below for some important updates, upcoming dates, and dates of significance.
Immunization Consent Forms
This is a friendly reminder to please return your completed immunization consent forms to the school as soon as possible. These forms are essential to ensure your child’s participation in the upcoming immunization program.
If you have any questions or need a new form, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office.
Kindergarten Registration and TLC Open House
Just a reminder, we are hosting our TLC Open House on January 15 at 6:00 PM for new and prospective families. This event will provide an opportunity to learn more about our program and explore what we offer. Please note that current families do not need to attend the Open House.
Kindergarten registration opens this upcoming Monday, January 13.
This is also the time to apply for the TLC program for any additional siblings who attend another CBE school. If you wish to apply for Grades 1 to 9 TLC, please complete an online Expression of Interest form.
All application forms are available online only. When applying for TLC, please ensure you select “Alternative Program” and confirm that you are aware our school uses a lottery system for enrollment.
Please note: Forms submitted last year do not carry forward. You must reapply online through School Engage. Paper applications will not be accepted.
Office Update and Request
A note to all families, both current and prospective: Our amazing office staff works tirelessly to support our school community year-round. At this time of year, however, they are especially busy managing new registrations and the lottery process.
We truly value your time and understand that many of you may have questions regarding the registration process or the upcoming school year. However, we kindly ask for your patience as our staff navigates this busy period over the next few months. Your understanding and support mean so much to us!
