Daylight Savings Time is here!
It might not look like it right now, but winter is ending. We are moving into the spring-time portion of Daylight-Saving Time by setting our clocks forward by one hour and extending daylight into the evening hours. This change happens on the second Sunday in March. For 2024, that lands on this weekend with clocks officially adjusted between 2am and 3 am on Sunday, March 10th.
Ramadan Mubarak!
Beginning on March 10th, observant Muslims the world over will soon be united in a ritual of daily fasting from dawn to sunset as the Islamic holy month of Ramadan starts. For Muslims, it's a time of increased worship, charity and good deeds. Socially, it often brings families and friends together in festive gatherings around meals to break their fast. Ramadan is followed by the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Fitr. We will be accommodating our students' needs at this time to ensure understanding around the requirements of fasting, energy levels, and times of prayer.
Parent Teacher Conferences
Thank you to all the families who joined us for Parent Teacher Conferences during the last three Fridays. Our last afternoon session is scheduled for this coming Friday, March 15. Bookings can be made online through MyCBE.
If you were unable to book a time to meet with your child’s teachers, please feel free to contact them by phone or email to discuss your child’s learning or arrange an alternate time to meet.
Field Trips
We have several field trips for grade nine students taking place this week. Starting on Monday and returning on Tuesday, grade nine Band students will be attending Band Camp.
All grade nine students will also be participating in a field trip to Blackfoot Crossing on March 12, 13, or 14 depending on their homeroom. Please check with Humanities teachers if you are uncertain of the date for your child’s class trip.
Payment for all field trips can be found in the Fees section of MyCBE.
Student Teachers
On Tuesday March 12 CNG will be welcoming student teachers from the University of Calgary for a four-week practicum. They will be immersed in our school and classrooms from March 12 to April 18 working with a variety of teachers and grades.
