June is National Indigenous History Month, a time to learn about the unique cultures, traditions and experiences of First Nations, Métis and Inuit in Canada.
This year's theme, "inspiring our youth for change," aligns with Aboriginal Awareness Week Calgary and the City of Calgary. It aims to empower the next generation of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples to reclaim and instill pride, cultural knowledge, and education in our communities. This can be achieved by being positive role models and continuing our collective journey through Truth and Reconciliation.
CBE is committed to promoting and actioning Education for ReconciliACTION. As we observe National Indigenous History Month and celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day, we renew our dedication to learning, celebrating, and honouring Indigenous cultures and resilience.

Important Information For Grade 9 Families:
PAT dates are fast approaching and we want to provide clear and helpful information concerning student attendance on those days.
These are full days of school for our Grade 9 students, with important review in the afternoons. In order to minimize disruption to learning on these dates, we ask that if your child needs to be absent from school in the afternoon you email johnware@cbe.ab.ca in advance. Students cannot be dismissed before 12:30 on those dates. They are expected to remain quietly in their exam spaces until that time. Students leaving for the afternoon will be signed out by school administration.
In order to manage the load in the main office, we will not be excusing students via phone calls on these days. When students have been dismissed, they are asked to go straight home.
