School Council

We will be having our first School Council meeting of the school year on Wednesday September 13 at Deer Run. Our School Council plays a vital role in the success of our school. Please consider joining the group! To read more on what School Council is and its role in the school, please visit the following link: https://www.alberta.ca/school-councils

Please Return Forms

An information package containing medical, volunteer, and important information has been sent home with your student. Please return them to the school as soon as possible.

Entry Doors

This is a friendly reminder to all students and families that students should enter through their designated entry door after 8:10 am and before 8:18 pm. We ask that parents/guardians do not stop in the bus zone in front of the school to drop students off. Thank you for your support with this.

MyCBE Account

This is a reminder to all parents/guardians to check your MyCBE account regularly. If you don’t have an account, please create one. A MyCBE account allows parents to:

• view their children’s academic information (schedule, grades and attendance)
• view their children’s learning activities using Brightspace by D2L
• register for transportation and lunch supervision
• pay fees and request fee waivers
• book school conferences

For more information, please visit: https://cbe.ab.ca/support/Pages/MyCBE-PowerSchool.aspx

Lunch Program

All parents and guardians should register for our lunch program through their MyCBE account if their student is eating lunch at school. When sending lunches to school with students, please keep in mind that we don’t provide microwaves, hot water, or cutlery.

Staff Parking Lot

Please remember that the staff parking lot should not be used for picking up or dropping off students. Also, please walk around the parking lot using the sidewalks or on the field.

Attendance Reminders

If your student is going to be away for any reason, we kindly ask that you:

• Call the school and leave a message on the attendance line indicating your student’s name, homeroom teacher, the date, and reason for the absence.

OR

• Email your student’s teacher AND deerrun@cbe.ab.ca giving the same information.

Any student arriving after 8:18 am will be marked late. Collectively as a staff, we are committed to having engaging learning activities ready to begin right at 8:18 am. Arriving late can be disruptive to the class and get a student’s day off to a rough start. We thank you for your support with this.
