Hello Grizzly Families,
We hope everyone is has had a great weekend. We can hardly believe it is the last week of February!
Below we have included a few updates/reminders and noted some upcoming important dates. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
The Grizzly Store Returns!
Great news!! - The School's Online Store is open one more time for you to pick up your Grizzly Spirit Wear! The store will be open until March 17th and orders will arrive to the school approximately 4 weeks later. See the link below. Please note, one of the school hoodies has not been added yet but should be added to the store by the end of this week.
We celebrate our Grizzly Pride by holding Grizzly Fridays every Friday when students can wear official School Spirit Wear with their uniform. Families can purchase Grizzly t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, hoodies, track pants, and hats. Hats are only for outdoor wear unless the school is holding a special hat day.
Recently several students have been wearing their own sweatshirts or trackpants instead of School Grizzly Spirit Wear. Please remember that Grizzly Fridays are not a casual day. Additionally, when wearing a school t-shirt or hoodie, students are expected to be wearing their uniform pants or skirts unless they have School trackpants.

Donation Request (Lightning Cables)
Thank you so much for the lightning cable donations we have received so far, we continue to look for a few more donations if anyone has any old cables they may have lying around! Please send any working lightning cables with your child to the main office.
Attendance
Unfortunately in recent months we have seen a drop in attendance, particularly on Fridays. This is just a friendly reminder to all families that the Calgary Board of Education recognizes the strong positive correlation between attendance and a student’s success in school. Regular attendance sets students on the path to reaching their full potential.
Child & Youth Well-Being | Family & Caregiver Series 2023-24
The Calgary Board of Education is inviting all families and caregivers to join in an online series focusing on child and youth well-being. These sessions are hosted in partnership with Alberta Health Services and will explore topics such as vaping, brain development, mental health, and sexual health.
These sessions are offered free of charge and provide information, resources, helplines, and services to support healthy child and youth development. Please see the attached document for more information on these upcoming sessions.
