Grade 9's who participated in our Division transition days from LGMS and Exshaw School are not required to participate in our Grade 9 tour but may complete their activities independently if they wish.   Of course they are welcome to join the tour and get support for completing the activities if they prefer!

1. Go to the cafeteria to get their timetable AND to get their password if they are new or forgot theirs
2. Sign up for CLUBS and ACTIVITIES and TEAMS in the cafeteria
3. Go to Makerspace (rm. 1414) to get their school photo

For the first day please ensure students have:

We offer the Food for Learning program for families in financial need.  If your child would benefit from a daily nutritious lunch to alleviate financial stress on your family please complete THIS FORM Please carefully read the instructions on the form and share them with your child so that they know how to access their lunch. 

Please contact sarah.mckay@crps.ca or call 403-678-6192 and ask for Sarah to purchase a lunch punch card for your child.  The cost is $110 for 10 lunches including, hot entree, 'treat' and beverage. We will begin serving lunch on August 27th, 2025. 

Lockers will be available for selection online on Monday morning after 9 am.  Please watch for an email to parent and student emails for further details and the online link.  Don't worry - you can still sign up for a locker on Tuesday at school if you would like.  Students are NOT required to have a locker.  If a student does not think they will use one there is no need to sign up for one.  Students taking PE are strongly encouraged to sign up for a locker as all valuables must be left in their hallway locker during PE class.
