Good afternoon Colt families! We hope that you had an enjoyable weekend! ¡Buenas tardes, familias de Colt! ¡Esperamos que hayan tenido un fin de semana agradable!

On June 10 and June 11, the A.E. Cross Parents’ Association is holding a Casino fundraiser at Pure Casino Calgary. They are looking for volunteers to help out with the casino for those two days. This particular fundraiser brings in thousands of dollars that goes to student learning at A.E. Cross School. If you can help out, a website has been created for parents to sign up.

Please help out if you can!

Additionally, in preparation for the fiscal year-end for the A.E. Cross School Council and Parents’ Association, the School Council is in need of someone to volunteer to audit the yearly financial statements. If you are able to help out with this task, please contact the school council at aecrosscouncil@gmail.com.

Over the next few weeks, there are many different field trips that are occurring at A.E. Cross School. It is important that fees for these trips are paid so that students can have these experiences. Please log into your MyCBE account and ensure that fees are paid.

Grade 7 Students (dates of trips depend on your child’s homeroom):

  • In Early June – Heritage Park
  • In Late June – Disc Golf at Richmond Green

A couple of reminders for parents of Grade 9 students:

  • Provincial Achievement Tests – students have been working hard in preparation for these tests. The first test is English Language Arts (Part A) and it will occur on Thursday, May 29. The remainder of the PATs will occur during the middle of June.
  • Grade 9 Farewell – students have received forms regarding the farewell that is occurring on Friday, June 6. We would encourage you to sign the permission forms and log into MyCBE and pay the $15 fee for that event.

We hope that you have a fantastic week! ¡Esperamos que tengas una semana fantástica!
