Staying Healthy
If your child does become ill, for the protection of your child and that of classmates, keep him/her at home until treated and/or recovered. If your child becomes ill at school, parents or designated emergency contacts will be notified to come and take your child home.
Orange Shirt Day | September 26
CBE schools will be recognizing orange shirt day on September 26th. Students will be engaged in activities building personal and collective understanding of Indigenous history and ways of knowing. Students are encouraged to wear an orange shirt or their favorite color.

If that is something that interests you please send an email to raj.deol86@gmail.com to be added to our parent volunteer list, and be sure to get your police clearance checks submitted by connecting with the office.
Dressing for the Weather
Calgary weather is unpredictable! Please ensure your child comes to school prepared every day to go outside - this includes outdoor shoes or boots, jacket, mitts, a toque, and socks. There are very few days we pivot to our inclement weather protocol. It is important and expected that all children go outside when it is in outdoor recess/lunch recess.
For more information regarding CBE inclement weather protocols:
If you need help providing your child/family with appropriate outdoor clothing, please email your child’s teacher.
Drop Off Areas | Jaywalking
Student safety is EVERYONE’s responsibility. Please be mindful of our most used intersections - Wedgewood Dr and Spruce Dr, 45th ST and Spruce and 5 ave and 45th ST. Every year we have multiple ‘close calls’ and/or actual situations of a pedestrian being hit. Drive the speed limit, adhere to road rules and be aware. Take your time and consider all students.
If you are using the Wildwood Community Centre parking lot for drop off and pick up, be aware that children are crossing Spruce Drive in the crosswalk right there. We have already had several reports of ‘close calls’ in this area.
When dropping off and picking up students, please ensure that you are using the correct areas.
- Do not park in front of the school, it is a designated School Bus zone.
- Do not use this area as a drop off, it is a designated School Bus zone
- Do not use the staff parking lot as a pick up and drop off area.
- Do not Jaywalk. Use the crosswalks.
