Family Cultural Evening – Thursday, March 21, 2024
We are very excited to announce our first annual Westgate Family Cultural Evening. To celebrate the rich cultural diversity that exists in our school community, we are asking those families interested to consider bringing family photos, cultural clothing, (labeled) special foods to sample, artifacts, games, and music to share with Westgate families. We will provide a small trifold to each family and tables will be set up in the gym. On Thursday, March 21st, 2024, during our School Conferences from 3:00 to 7:00pm, families can decide what time and duration works best for them. Students will also be invited to share their displays with their classes during the day and dress up for “Cultural Diversity Wear Day”. Please send an email to westgate@cbe.ab.ca if you are interested in reserving a table for your family and if you have any questions, please email Mme Julie at jamuhlberger@cbe.ab.ca.
Volunteer Registration and Police Security Clearances
Parents and guardians are now able to register to volunteer online in the SchoolEngage tab in their MyCBE account. Members of the community without a child in the system can also create a SchoolEngage account.
Once you have created an account you can request and receive the volunteer letter required to obtain your police security clearance.
Volunteers then must visit the CPS online system, electronic Police Information Check (ePIC), to obtain their police check using the CBE volunteer letter. Once volunteers have their clearance document from CPS, it can be uploaded and shared directly with the school through the SchoolEngage account.
Schools and volunteers can see their application status and if more information is required to complete the process to volunteer.
