IMPORTANT ACTION: ‘TO DO’ LIST FOR PARENTS / GUARDIANS
Please log into your MyCBE account and fill in the following forms:
- Demographic Verification Form: Even if you have had NO changes to phone numbers, emails, etc., this form MUST be submitted so the school has confirmation of the most recent contact info in case of an emergency. Please complete and submit this form AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Thanks!!!
- Annual Authorization: Teachers post pictures to their blogs on a regular basis. Your Consent for CBE Use of Student Information form must be completed so your child can be included.
- Lunchroom Supervision: ALL students staying for lunch MUST have the Lunch Supervision form completed. It is now available to be filled in within your MyCBE account. Once registered, the CBE will process the form and the fees will be loaded at a later date. (You will not see an added fee immediately when you register.)
ANNUAL VOLUNTEER FORMS ARE NOW ONLINE IN YOUR MYCBE ACCOUNT
If you log into your MyCBE account, you can also now complete your Volunteer Registration form. This is a change from last year as no paper form is required! You will need to upload a photo of yourself holding your ID by your face. See picture for example.
NO PARKING IN THE HUG & GO OR STAFF PARKING LOT
There is NO parking or leaving your vehicle for any reason in the Hug & Go loop or in front of the school in the bus zones. The Hug & Go is exactly that…hug your child and have them go to the playground without you so you can drive away promptly. If you wish to walk your child onto the playground, please park on the street in a legal area. There is also NO parking or entering the staff parking lot on the East side of the school. We also ask that you do not block our neighbors’ garage entrances or driveways ever. We appreciate your patience, respect, care and cooperation.
USING THE CITY PATH ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE SCHOOL
Please do not walk across the driveway in front of the Hug & Go. Please use the path to the West or the sidewalk that runs beside the school on the East. Crossing in front of the Hug & Go entrance is dangerous, but also backs up the traffic and causes drop off / pick up issues.
ENTERING AT THE ASSIGNED DOORS AT 9:03 - 9:05 AM
When arriving at school prior to the start of the day, children need to go to the back of the school and onto the playground to their designated doors. All classes enter at the back and they need to go in with the other students. Please ensure your child arrives onto the playground between 8:50-9:00 am so they are not late. We have teachers on supervision from 8:50 – 9:05 to accommodate early arrivals. (Arriving prior to 9:00 also helps to alleviate the traffic flowing through the Hug & Go at 9:05.)
MEDICATION TAKEN AT SCHOOL
If your child has any medications that must be administered / stored at school, any medical needs, or any severe allergies, we require you to fill in the Student Health Plan and return it to the school, either in paper form or electronically to northernlights@cbe.ab.ca. If the Student Health Emergency Response Protocol also applies to your child, please send the forms in with the medications as soon as possible.
