Nov. 9-20
Thank you to all the families for coming to the Parent-Teacher Conferences and for supporting our school Book Fair! We loved having the opportunity to connect with so many of you to discuss your child's progress and celebrate their learning. Your incredible generosity at the Book Fair also helps us bring fantastic new books and resources into our classrooms and library.
A special thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate last week's Halloween parade with us! We had our biggest family turnout ever, and it was wonderful to see all the creative costumes and share in the festive fun.
Huge shoutout to Mr. Pastushak and Mr. Olsen for pulling off an amazing Maverick and Goose! They spent hours working on their INCREDIBLE jet that wowed at the parade.
We would like to wish a very Happy Diwali to all our families celebrating the Festival of Lights. May this beautiful time bring joy, peace, and prosperity to you and your loved ones.
We are so grateful for your continued partnership and for making our school community so special!
FALL BREAK
Wishing all our families a wonderful and restful Fall Break! As a reminder, there will be no school from November 9th through the 13th. Monday, November 16th is a Professional Development (PD) Day, so there is no school for students. Please also note that there is no school for Pre-K students on Tuesday, November 17th. All other grades will resume on the 17th, and we look forward to welcoming our Pre-K students back on Wednesday, November 18th!
REMEMBRANCE DAY CEREMONY AT ÉBS
This past Friday, our school hosted a moving Remembrance Day ceremony, and we were honored to share it with our parents and special guests, Constable Frost and Constable Chand. The Bellevue choir moved us all with their beautiful singing, while our Grade 1 and 3 students delivered truly thoughtful presentations. We are incredibly proud of our entire student body for demonstrating exceptional respect throughout the solemn event. Thank you to everyone who joined us to honor and remember those who have served.
SCHOOL COUNCIL INFO
Your Voice Matters: Making a Difference in Your School Community
Who is ASCA and what do they do?
The Alberta School Councils’ Association (ASCA) is here to support and represent parents as valued partners in education. They work to strengthen the connection between parents, school communities, and Alberta’s Ministry of Education, ensuring that parent perspectives and voices are part of important conversations about education.
Why does it matter to you?
Because your voice matters! Parents play an important role in student success. Through school councils, you have an opportunity to share ideas, ask questions, raise concerns, and contribute to decisions that can shape your child's learning experience and school community.
You don't need to be an education expert to make a difference. Your experiences, insights, and perspectives as a parent are valuable.
How can you make a difference?
That's where the Access Pass Vault comes in!
Think of it as your go-to resource for information, tools, and practical resources to help you feel informed, prepared, and confident in your role as a parent representative.
By bringing your knowledge, ideas, questions, and perspectives to school council meetings, you're helping build stronger partnerships between families, schools, and school districts.
Every voice adds value. Every perspective matters. And every contribution helps create a stronger school community.
Together, we can make a difference!
NEXT COUNCIL MEETING: NOVEMBER 18TH AT 6:00 PM

Participants are welcome to join one or more sessions in this series.
