Welcome to Connaught 2024 – 2025 

If you are receiving this email then we are expecting your child to attend school at Connaught in the 2024 – 2025 school year.  If your child will be attending a different school please let us know as soon as possible.

If your child will not be in attendance the first week of school please complete an extended absence form and email it to roengbers@cbe.ab.ca by June 28.
