Wolverine Weekly June 15th 2025
It is hard to believe that we are in our final days of the year! Ms. Keon and I would like to express our gratitude to all of our staff, students and parents for a fantastic year! We are moving into our Exam Schedule as the last day of classes was June 13, 2025. Please ensure that your student is at school on time for their exams. Here is the schedule which can also be found on our website. If you missed our Study Skills session here is the link to review with your student strategies to study for final exams. Check your student does not bring a cell phone, smart watch, earbuds or any other internet or bluetooth connected device into the exam. Alberta Education rules state that if these are brought into a PAT or Diploma exam room the student will be disqualified from the exam and will have to write it in the next session (August for Diplomas). Note that you do not even have to use the device to be disqualified!
As we get closer to our graduation ceremony on June 26th at 11am please help your grade 12 student keep in mind that there is a MANDATORY grad ceremony rehearsal in the gym at 8am on June 25th. We start this early to accommodate students writing the Science 30 Diploma exam at 9am on the day of the rehearsal.
All Parent Survey
We invite all parents and guardians who have not filled out our Parent Satisfaction Survey to do so before June 30th. This survey will serve as a baseline measure that Ms. Keon and I will use to continue to build on the goals and vision for our school that we are striving for together.

Yearbooks have arrived!
If you purchased one, come pick it up at the office! If you haven’t yet but would like to, there’s still time to buy one- $20 tap or cash at the office. Thank you to the Yearbook Committee, Cheryl Fraser, and the Rocky Mountain Outlook for making this happen!
Lockers
Please make sure to clean out your lockers by 4 PM on Tuesday, June 17th.
If you’ve forgotten your locker combination, stop by the office — we’re happy to help. Locks should also be returned to the office; we have tags available to record the combinations.
Important: On Wednesday, June 18th, any lockers that haven’t been cleaned out will be emptied by staff. Items left behind will be donated or discarded.
Textbook Return
Textbooks are very expensive and we have to charge a replacement cost for them. Below is a 'sample' of the replacement cost of some of our textbooks.
- Math 9 - $85
- Math 10 - $189.50
- Science 9 - $129.82
- Biology 20/30 - $179.99
- Social 9 - $159.99
- novel study books range from $15-24 and
- Shakespeare books range from $25-35 each
We would always rather get back our textbooks that charge a replacement cost for them. We also accept back textbooks that are from previous years as these are still valuable to us.
Thank you for helping your student look for their textbooks and get them back to us by their exam date.
Hosting Opportunity - Homestay Families needed
Ever wished you could travel overseas to help your teenager experience international cultures and languages? Now you don’t even have to leave Canmore to do this! CRPS is in need of homestay families for next school year. All you need is a spare bedroom and a willingness to host a high school student for either 5 or 10 months. What a way to broaden your family's horizons! Homestay parents are paid $1375 a month and students attend Canmore Collegiate High School if you live in Canmore or Banff Community High School if you live in Banff. Respite care is available if you need to go out of town for a weekend or for a vacation over spring or winter break. HERE is a link with more information, videos and contact information.
To find out more fill in this form and our Homestay coordinator will contact you.
Work Experience - Get paid AND earn credits this summer!
- Have you completed HCS 3000 Workplace Safety?
- Are you already in Grade 10 or above? If so, you could earn high school credits AND get paid by your employer for your summer job or your part time job during the next school year.
- Read the information below carefully then see Ms. Timm in the library to sign up. If you plan on earning summer credits please connect with Ms. Timm before June 20th so she has time to do the required site safety inspection and connect with your supervisor and you have time to get your documents to her before the deadline of June 27th. Note: Hours can not be submitted retroactively for insurance reasons.
Dear Students, Parents, and Guardians,
Are you or a student you know interested in earning Work Experience credits for employment during the summer and/or part-time throughout the year?
Students can earn one credit for every 25 hours worked, up to a maximum of 15 credits, which can be applied toward the 100 credits required for graduation. These can be 30 level credits!
If students already have a job secured, register for work experience by June 27th. The following steps outline the registration process:
- Student Registration: The student and a parent or guardian must complete the Parent/Guardian & Student Work Experience Registration Form.
- Employer Registration: Students should discuss this opportunity with their employer to ensure their support because the employer will be sent an Employer Registration Form (sent directly to them via email) that is similar to the student's registration form. This ensures everyone is aware of what is happening and is on board.
- Monthly Submissions: Students will be sent an invitation to join a Google Classroom where they will submit their proof of hours worked and a brief reflection on their experience at the end of each month.
If students are applying for a job but do not have it secured yet, we would love for you to still get credits. Still apply using the directions above as soon as possible and we will try our best to get you registered.
Work experience can conclude at the end of the summer or continue into the school year, depending on the student's ongoing employment and interest in earning additional credits.
If you have any questions, please email us at offcampus@crps.ca for more information.
Timetables
We are now finalizing timetable changes. Thank you to the students and families who filled in the Google Form to request a change. We lose access to the part of the system that allows us to make changes for next year so we cannot make changes after June 18th. Timetable changes that are essential for graduation or post secondary are briefly opened up for a few days in August for Grade 12 students ONLY. Our staffing is now finalized for next year as well and this also limits changes to only those essential for graduation and post secondary in August.
Graduation Ceremony - Participation and Honours Calculation *Updated
Make sure your volunteer hours have also been submitted. Have the person who supervised you fill in this Google Form. Remember this cannot be filled in by you or your parents! 20 volunteer hours are required to participate in our graduation ceremony.
*Reminder* All students must be passing all courses required for graduation and be on track to complete the requirements of a High School Diploma or High School Certificate of Achievement as of June 6th 2025 to be included in our ceremony.
Honours calculations will be made with marks students have on June 9th 2025. Students who achieve honours standing after June 9th will be recognized at our fall Awards Night. See Ms. Bittner or questions about honours. Calculation formulas for Honours are found on pg 15 of our Student Handbook.
As we get closer to our graduation ceremony on June 26th at 11am please help your grade 12 student keep in mind that there is a MANDATORY grad ceremony rehearsal in the gym at 8am on June 25th. We start this early to accommodate students writing the Science 30 Diploma exam at 9am on the day of the rehearsal. The graduation ceremony is NOT a ticketed event. Doors open at 10:30 am and seating is ‘in the round’. After your student has attended the grad rehearsal they will know where they are sitting. They can then tell you the section you should sit in (opposite them gives you the best view) when you arrive. The school does not organize and is not responsible for the graduation banquet however tickets for the banquet are
