Staff visited both Shaganappi Village Playground and Connaught School for a casual visit with food and refreshments. It was a pleasure to connect with students and families!
Grade 6 Bake Sale
We are excited to share that our Grade 6 students will be hosting a bake sale on April 29th to help raise funds for their upcoming Grade 6 celebration.
On the day of the bake sale, we invite families to send their child with money if they would like to purchase baked goods and support this special event.
We are also welcoming donations of baked goods for the sale. If you are able to contribute, we kindly ask that:
- All items are nut-free to ensure the safety of all students
- Homemade items include a list of ingredients
Both homemade and store-bought donations are greatly appreciated and will help make this event a success.
Thank you for your continued support of our Grade 6 students. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Traffic Safety
It is not school staff responsibility to enforce traffic laws. It is the responsibility of drivers to follow traffic laws.
The following illegal actions need to stop:
- Using the bus lane in front of the school for pick up and drop off. It is designated a “No Stopping” zone and is reserved for buses. See below.
- Crossing the street anywhere but in the crosswalk. Do not send your kids running across the street
- Turning around (doing a u-turn) in the middle of the street
- Using the parking lot for drop off and pick up
- Parking within 1.5 metres of a crosswalk
- Parking behind staff in the parking lot
Patrols
Please be mindful of our school Safety Patrols in the morning and afterschool. There have been an increasing number of incidents of cars going through the crosswalk while patrols have their stop signs out.
Drop off and Pick Up
The immediate area in front of the school is designated as a “No Stopping Zone”.
Grade 5 | Postcards from the Past
The Grade 5 grade-group concert is a musical called "Postcards from the Past". The show includes connections to their social studies curriculum around ancient cultures.
Families are invited to the show on Friday, May 1 at 10:30am in the school gym. Students are asked to wear black or dark colours if possible.
We hope you can come! Please e-mail me if you have any questions.
