Welcoming, Caring, Respectful and Safe Learning and Work Environments  

The Calgary Board of Education (CBE) has Administrative Regulations which guide our work in schools. Administrative Regulation 6031- Welcoming, Caring, Respectful and Safe Learning and Work Environments - outlines "the roles and expectations related to meeting CBE’s responsibility to provide students and staff with a welcoming, caring, respectful and safe learning and work environment that respects diversity and fosters a sense of belonging for all members." 

As parents/guardians it is important that you understand your role in maintaining a Welcoming, Caring, Respectful and Safe Learning and Work Environment. Please read AR 6031. 

A Traditional Learning Centre (TLC) is alternative program within CBE, one of the areas of focus for our program is character education. Teachers and family members model character through their actions, language, and behaviours. As a TLC, it is important that we model how to work through areas of challenge, how to greet people each day, how to engage with others who have views that may be different to our own. This modelling shows our students how to work through these situations.

Transportation (Yellow Bus)

If you registered for busing, you should have already received transportation information regarding your student's bus letter, stop location, pick up and drop off times. Please arrive at least 5 minutes early to your stop and wait with your student (do not leave them unattended). At the end of the day, please also arrive about 5 minutes early and wait for the bus to arrive. At the end of the day, the bus does not need to wait for an adult to pick up the student from the bus; students in grade 1 and up are let off at their bus stop if an adult is not there to get them. If you have not yet received information, please access your MyCBE account and click on transportation. All information can be found there, including the information below regarding the bus applications.

See our Busing page on the website.

Drop Off and Pick Up - Car

Parents please do not park on Northmount Drive on the side that is closest to the school, this is the bus zone. We need to keep this area clear before and after school for our yellow school buses. There is also a city bus that stops on Northmount Drive. Great places to park your car to walk students to their grade level door are on Terry Road and Thornhill Drive, there are breaks in the fence that enable your student to walk safely to their grade level door without walking across a street.

See our Parking page on our website.
