Hello Tom Baines Families,

School Council – our next meeting is on Monday, January 26 at 7:00 pm in the Learning Commons. All are invited and encouraged to attend.

Transportation – We have received some complaints about the school busses being overcrowded. The school express busses are provided as an additional service.  If the bus is full, students are expected to take regular transportation community routes.  We are unable to advocate to add another bus, this is reviewed by Calgary Transit, we work alongside them but do not direct their work and they review routes and school express supports within their resources available. 

Thank you all for your continued support. We are so grateful to be a part of this amazing community.
