Hello Abbeydale School Families!
Reminder that all 51,000 teachers in Alberta will be going on strike next week to highlight the need to increase funding for public education in Alberta. This means that there will be no school for students until an agreement is reached. More information regarding how the CBE is responding to labour action is found here: CBE Labour Action
