Good afternoon families.  We hope that you are enjoying the final weekend of summer! Buenas tardes, familias. ¡Esperamos que estén disfrutando del último fin de semana del verano!

Below is the latest  edition  of the Colts’ Community Chronicle.

Colts' Community Chronicle - September 22 to September 26 

Please note that Monday, September 29 and Tuesday, September 30 are non-instructional days for students. There are no classes on either of those days. Next week’s Colts’ Community Chronicle will appear in your inbox in the afternoon of Tuesday, September 30.

Thank you to all families that attended our Meet the Teacher evening last Thursday. It was great to have you in our building to meet our staff and start the year off on a great note. If you were unable to attend, but would still like to contact your child’s teachers, please don’t hesitate to send them an introductory email.

The end of September brings about some important events:

  • Monday, September 22 – Treaty  7 Day
    • This year’s autumnal equinox coincides with Treaty 7 day. Treaty No. 7 was entered in on September 22, 1877, at Blackfoot Crossing located on the Siksika Nation east of Calgary. All nations within the Treaty 7 region are signatories to the treaty. September 22 is considered “Treaty 7 day” and is a recognized day within all the respected nations of Treaty 7.
  • Friday, September 26 - Orange Shirt Day Recognized at A.E.  Cross School
    • By wearing an orange shirt on Orange Shirt Day, you commit to the enduring truth that EVERY CHILD MATTERS, every day and everywhere.
  • Tuesday, September 30 – National Day of Truth and Reconciliation Day
    • We would like to invite all families to the City of Calgary Truth and Reconciliation ceremony taking place at The Confluence at 9:00 am to honour survivors of residential schools in Canada.

At the beginning of each school year, families are required to update their child’s Student Demographic Verification Form. This can be done through your child’s MyCBE account. Should you require a paper copy of this form, please contact the main office and we can provide you with one. The deadline to complete this form has already passed. Thank you to those families who have already updated this form.

We hope  that you have a wonderful week! ¡Esperamos que tengas una semana maravillosa!

Sincerely,

Randy Lewis

Principal, A.E. Cross School
