Update

Dear families,

We wanted to update you on the timeline for installing the six modular units at your school.

The timeline we initially communicated to you this spring has been delayed. We previously estimated that the modular installation would be complete before winter break, but now expect the project to begin in early November and be completed by February 2025.

The foundations are expected to be installed in November, and the modular classrooms should arrive on-site in early December. Closer to February, once the modular installation is complete, the school will follow the call-back process to offer families, in order of the priority lists, an opportunity to return to Connaught School. Once complete, the six modulars will be on the south west corner of the school yard. The required landscape work is seasonally dependent and should be complete by the end of the 2024-25 school year. Construction fencing will remain in place until the landscaping is complete.

As school is back in session, we will continue to take measures to ensure the safety of students and community members who use the school site during construction. This includes measures such as keeping the construction area enclosed and working outside school hours when possible. Crews will work closely with school administration to ensure no work is being completed when students may be outdoors or when it impacts the school day.

We will send another update as we near construction. If you have any questions about this work, you may email accommodation@cbe.ab.ca.

Thank you,

Calgary Board of Education

Dear students and parents/guardians,

We would like to provide you with an update before summer break on the installation of modulars at Connaught School. We anticipate that the installation of the modulars will begin at the end of September. Safety measures will be taken to ensure the safety of students and community members who use the playground or school site while the installation occurs. This includes enclosing the construction area, scheduling work to avoid disrupting learning and operating within specific hours according to municipal bylaws. We expect that the modulars will be ready when students return from winter break.

You will continue to be updated as construction occurs. As we near winter break, the school will follow the call-back process to offer families, in order of the priority lists, an opportunity to return to Connaught School. The call-back process occurs at various points in the school year when space and resources are available. 

If you have any questions about this work, you may email accommodation@cbe.ab.ca.

Thank you,

Calgary Board of Education

Dear students and parents/guardians,

We would like to inform you that the Government of Alberta has approved four new modular units for Connaught School. In addition to the new modular units, the Board of Trustees has approved relocating two modular units from another Calgary Board of Education (CBE) school to Connaught School. These six modulars will add 100 additional student learning spaces to the school.  

CBE requested these modular units in the 2024-2025 Modular Classroom Program, which was submitted to the provincial government in October 2023.

CBE is beginning site work assessments right away. We anticipate that the work to install the modulars will begin this fall. You will continue to be updated as we receive more information.

Please email accommodation@cbe.ab.ca with any questions about this announcement.

Thank you,

Calgary Board of Education
