Planning for 2026-27 - Reminder
As mentioned in previous updates, as part of our annual planning process, we ask families to let us know if they plan to return to Battalion Park School for the upcoming school year. Having accurate student numbers allows us to make informed decisions regarding class organization and staffing.
At this time, we have received responses from only 23% of our families. If you have not yet completed the survey, please follow the link below and submit one survey for each child currently enrolled at our school.
We kindly ask that all surveys be submitted by Monday, March 2, 2026. Your timely response is greatly appreciated and helps us plan effectively for next year. Thank you for your cooperation and continued support.
Grade 4 Parents & Guardians Survey Reminder
If you have a child in Grade 4, you have been asked to complete the Alberta Education and Childcare Assurance survey. At this time, only a few parents have completed the survey. This anonymous survey will help gather important information about students’ and parents’ school experiences and will help to inform continuous improvement in our education system.
To fill out the survey, please click on the survey link you were emailed and enter the code provided. Please be sure to check your junk or spam folder for separate emails. Note, only one Random Access Code(RAC) is provided per child for parents and only one parent response can be submitted as RACs are single use.

Mini Playground Update from SHSES
We’re in the final stretch. 💛
Our new Mini Playground is coming THIS SUMMER — and now we’re raising $25,000 to complete the paving and new accessible pathways that will connect the space safely to our school and community.
These pathways matter.
They ensure smooth, barrier-free access for:
• Students using mobility devices
• Parents and grandparents
• Community members
• Before & after school care groups
• Adjacent field programs visiting evenings and weekends
Just $50 per student will help us reach this goal. Call to Action - Need Donations.png
We are already over 80% funded — and this final piece ensures accessibility is not scaled back.
Let’s pave the way — together.
