Hello Abbeydale Families! As we approach mid may, we are beginning to look for new ways to incorporate our school values of Kindness, Curiosity, Perseverance and Integrity into everything we do at school and the community. Please continue to talk about these values at home and stay tuned for upcoming school values related events!
Also, reminder that there is no school next Friday as it is a PD day, but there is an orientation for our next year kindergarten students and families.
Waiver Support - Fees
On Tuesday, May 13 we will have two Community Liaisons at Abbeydale from CBE Head Office from 2:15-3:30pm in the hallway outside of the office. They will be available to support parents or guardians who are interested in applying for Fees Waivers. If you are interested, please bring supporting documents (such as your 2023 or 2024 Notice of Assessment from CRA, or a Fair Entry letter from City of Calgary). If you don't have these documents, the Liaisons will still be able to help with the application process.
