Dear Cedarbrae Families
We were thrilled to welcome back our wonderful students on Thursday and see their smiling faces! Teachers were busy welcoming students and spent time going over routines and getting to know them as learners. All teachers will be focusing on our grounding rock “Healthy Community” for the month of September to foster a welcoming, caring, and supportive classroom for all students.
We are looking forward to a wonderful 2024- 2025 school year ahead! Below you will find essential information related to start-up and upcoming events.
Soft Start and Breakfast Program
At Cedarbrae School we have a soft start each morning and students are welcome to come into the school at their designated door at 8:05 am. We have an open breakfast program available for all students until 8:18 am. Doors close at 8:18 am and students arriving late are asked to come through the main doors and get a welcome slip from the office before going to class.
Attendance
Please inform the school if your child will be absent or arriving late. Please report all absences to the Attendance Line at 403-777-8610. Please be sure to leave your child’s name, homeroom, and reason for absence on each message.
Safety and Parking Reminders
A reminder that the area in front of the school is a school zone and that a strict speed limit of 30 mph is in place and U-Turns are prohibited. We have a busy crosswalk in the mornings and after school and want to ensure safety for all students and families using this. Also, a reminder that the staff parking lot is not a designated drop-off or pick-up zone, and we ask families to use the designated zones and street parking when dropping students off.
School Start-Up Packages
All forms must be completed online via the SchoolEngage parent portal (MyCBE – Online Forms), including Demographic Verification updates, Annual Volunteer and Media Release forms. These must be completed each year, and we appreciate parents / guardians attending to this as soon as possible.
School Supplies
Student supplies are included within school fees; therefore, parents do not need to purchase any materials. Students will need a backpack, lunch kit, and indoor shoes.
Lunch Supervision
For students in Grade 1-6, lunch supervision is available. You can register and pay online for lunch supervision with MyCBE.
Fees and Waivers
School fees will be charged to families starting in October. Online fee payment is the simplest and most convenient way to pay school fees. Parents can use their online account to pay fees or apply for a waiver at MyCBE.
You can find more information on the CBE school fees and waivers page.
Cedarbrae Clothing / Merchandise Store
Cedarbrae School has an Online Store where you can purchase clothing and other merchandise with our school logo. All items will be delivered to the school.
