Good afternoon Egbert families,

It has been a busy week after a nice long weekend.   

Transportation Service & Bell Times - What's Changing for 2025-2026

For the upcoming school year, the CBE will be expanding yellow bus service and adjusting walk zones. This is in response to Alberta Education's School Transportation Amendment Regulation for student transportation that comes into effect on Sept. 1, 2025. This means many more students will become eligible to take the bus. The CBE has experienced record enrolment growth over the past three years as more families move to Calgary. A growing population also impacts transportation by increasing yellow school bus ridership and requiring more bus routes; schools at or near capacity; and increasing traffic on the roads, which means buses need a little more time to complete their routes. 

As bell times are directly related to transportation, these upcoming changes will impact bell times at our school.

Bell Time Changes for 2025-2026 School Year

Attendance 

It is important that you call the school if your child is going to be absent or arriving late. Please report all absences to the Attendance Line at 403-777-7430 ext.1. Please make sure to spell the student’s last name and include the date of the absence in the message. 

Alternatively, you can email the main office at: drgladysmegbert@cbe.ab.ca 

Outstanding Fees

Please check your student’s MyCBE  account to ensure all outstanding fees are paid. A Monthly reminder will be sent to families with outstanding balances for field trips and fees.  Partial payments are accepted throughout our school year.

Provincial Achievement Tests (PATs) May/June 2025 

In May and June of this year, Grade 9 students across the province will participate in the Provincial Achievement Tests (PATs). Results from these tests will provide Alberta Education, school administrators, teachers, parents/guardians, students, and the public with information about what students know and can do in relation to provincial standards at the end of Grade 9. These results can be used to improve learning opportunities for students and inform our School Development Plans for 2024-2027.
