Dogs on School Property 

This is a reminder that CBE Administrative Regulation AR6004 - Animals in Schools restricts animals on school property. Dogs are not permitted on school grounds except where expressly approved under AR6004 (e.g., service animals or authorized educational purposes). 

Additionally, the City of Calgary Responsible Pet Ownership Bylaw prohibits dogs on school property, including playgrounds and fields. 

Lost and Found 

Our lost and found is extremely full of lost items. If you wish to come to the school to look through the lost and found during school hours, please enter through the main entrance and sign in at the office. 

Items that are not claimed by Thursday, January 29 at noon, will be donated to charity.
