Report Cards - January 30

Term 1 Report Cards will be available for viewing in your MyCBE account on Wednesday, January 30. 

If you require any support in ensuring you can access this digital Report Card, please visit the CBE Parent and Student tech support webpage

As a reminder, more emphasis continues to be placed on the process that students go through rather than the final product they produce. Students are encouraged to take risks, push the boundaries, and see what is possible. We do our best to focus on student progress and help students see where they were, where they are, and where they are trying to get to in their learning. This way the priority is the learning rather than the “mark” and students’ confidence increases as they begin to take more ownership over their learning.

We hope that you see this reflected in the report card comments, which along with the achievement indicators, provides a better perspective of how your child is progressing in their learning. The area(s) that students see the most progress in and the rate at which they progress is just as unique as each student. We would like you to be proud of and focus on celebrating your child’s successes as we work together to support their learning.

If you have questions or concerns about your child, their learning, or their social and emotional well-being please contact their teacher right away. We do our best to help all students but we also don’t catch everything. We value families being part of their children’s learning and also the role you play in their development. Let’s continue to work together to help your child(ren) increase their confidence, develop their resiliency, and have the highest level of success possible in their learning and life. 

Fun Snack - Out of Chaos Cookies

The next fun snack is on Monday, February 12 and will be Out of Chaos Cookies. Students can order cookies in various shapes such as a dinosaur, unicorn, Valentine’s Bear, and there is even a gluten free option.

The last day to order your Out of Chaos fun snack is Wednesday, February 7. Please go to Healthy Hunger to place your order and also see what is available for the rest of the year.

Please note the change of day from Thursday to Monday for the distribution of the snack. 

Afternoon Kindergarten students will receive their cookies in the afternoon.

Child and Youth Well-Being Family and Caregiver Series!

The Calgary Board of Education invites all families and caregivers to join us in an online series focusing on child and youth well-being. The Child & Youth Well-Being Family & Caregiver Series is hosted in partnership with experts from Alberta Health Services and will explore topics such as brain development, mental health, and sexual health.

These free sessions provide information, resources, helplines, and services to support healthy child and youth development. They are open to parents and guardians with students in the CBE or other school boards in Calgary and the surrounding Area.

The next session is on Mental Health & Anxiety (Grades K-6) taking place on February 8 from 6:30pm-8:00pm. 

“There is a lot of talk about children feeling stressed and having ‘more anxiety,’ but what does this really mean? As caregivers, it can be confusing to know if our efforts to support children are helping or even making the situation worse.  Join our AHS partners from the mental health literacy team, who will clarify the language around mental health, stress, and anxiety.   From there, learn ways to effectively coach children to understand their stress response and grow more resilient.  Know the signs for when further professional assessment and support may also be needed and what treatment could involve.  Leave with more clarity and strategies for supporting resiliency in elementary-aged children and how to boost your mental health.”
