We hope everyone had a wonderful summer. We are so excited to be back at school and to be welcoming so many new students. If you receive this email, then we are expecting your child to attend Connaught School this year.
Please email roengbers@cbe.ab.ca if you have moved or will be leaving Connaught. Please include your child’s full name and grade in your email. We have many new registrations and students so please be patient with us.
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 asap. Students must be in attendance in September to access government funding and remain enrolled at Connaught.
The first day of school is Tuesday, September 2. Below is some information to help you prepare. You will be receiving an email from your child’s teacher tomorrow, Thursday, August 28. This will let you know their teacher, room and other start up information.

Open House and Meet the Teacher
Please stop in with your child on Friday, August 29 anytime between 1:00 – 2:00 to meet your child’s teacher and see their classroom. We would ask that morning kindergarten families visit between 1:00 – 1:30 and afternoon families visit between 1:30 – 2:00. This will allow more space and time to connect with the teacher.

Please note:
All students will enter by the East/West/Modular doors. The front door will NOT be used for entry this year. The front door will only be used for students arriving LATE (after 8:00).
All students should be dropped off BEFORE 8:00. They need time to get to their classroom as class starts at 8:00. When students are late they miss important information, routines and instructions. Thank you for helping your children to be successful by being on time and prepared for learning.
We look forward to a great year of learning together.
Nicole Bezugley and the Connaught Staff
