Shout Outs 

  • Shout-out to the SHSES Fundraising Team for their ongoing efforts in recruiting volunteers for the upcoming casino!  They continue to seek 25 additional volunteers, and we sincerely appreciate their commitment to ensuring all positions are filled.    
  • Shout-out to the volunteers who joined the Grade 4 Telus Spark field trip!  We couldn't offer these exciting learning experiences without volunteers, and we are so grateful for your time and support.   

 

Winter Concert to be Rescheduled 

Our Winter Concert is being rescheduled to a Late Winter/Spring Concert to give our students & staff additional time to prepare.  The new concert date will be shared as soon as it is finalized.  Thank you for your understanding.   

 

Visitor Procedures 

All visitors must check in at the main office in the Core Building.  If you are picking up a student or dropping off items during school hours, please go directly to the Core Building office. 

For early pick-ups, please provide advance notice to help us have your child ready on time. Email your child’s teacher and BattalionPark@cbe.ab.ca with your child’s name, the reason for the early pick-up, and the expected pick-up time. We will do our best to have your child waiting in the main office.

Fundraising Updates from SHSES  

Thank you to the dedicated families who have already signed up for our AGLC Casino at Elbow River. We still need:  

25 more volunteers – Dec. 3 & 4! Your time will have a HUGE impact at BPS!  
One volunteer shift raises approximately $2000.  

Proceeds from this casino will:  

  • Help fund 10% of the mini playground replacement, set to be installed next August!  
  • Support student programs like swim & ski lessons, musical instruments, and classroom technology.  

Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and siblings over 18 years of age are also welcome to sign up and receive a complimentary meal during their shift.  

Without enough helpers for this event, we risk losing future casino funding.
