Wolverine Weekly March 9th, 2025
Ms. Keon and I would like to thank all the families who came out to our Open House and Parent Info Night sessions. We hope that you found this opportunity to be welcoming and useful in working with your child to identify courses they need or want for next year. Teachers will be completing course recommendations in PowerSchool on Monday and Tuesday. It is key to take a look at those before making course selections. As a reminder, students going into grade 9/10 can complete their Google Form course selections now by going here. For students going into grade 11/12 course selections will open in PowerSchool on Wednesday evening.
This weekend was a huge basketball weekend for all CCHS teams! We are still waiting for teams to report back to us (at time of writing) and we hope to have some great photos and results to share in next week’s newsletter.
We look forward to seeing all families at Parent, Teacher, Student conferences on Wednesday night, Thursday night or Friday morning. Read the information items below to book your appointment online.
Alberta Education Assurance Survey - parents asked to complete the survey - watch for your Random Access Code
Codes for Grade 10 parents arriving Monday/Tuesday by Canada Post to your house
Survey closes FRIDAY MARCH 21st
Alberta Education will again be conducting their annual survey of grades 4, 7 and 10 students and their parents or guardians. The survey will gather important information about students’ and parents’ school experiences and will help to inform continuous improvement in our education system. The survey will also be conducted by all teachers in the province. Your input supports improvements in our education system. This year’s survey will take place from February to March 2025, and we strongly encourage all grade 10 parents or guardians to participate and share your feedback on your child’s or children’s education. By completing the survey, you are helping both Alberta Education and your local school authority identify areas of strength and areas for improvement. When the results are in, Alberta sends them to school authorities, who in turn share them with their local school community and use them to inform their annual education plans.
Additional details about Alberta Education’s quality assurance measures and framework for monitoring performance in the education system are available at www.alberta.ca/alberta-education-assurance-survey Please contact Ms. Preece if you have any questions or concerns about your child’s participation in the survey

Post Secondary studies in which the language of instruction is French
In April, students in French Immersion and French Language Arts will get a visit from a representative from the Campus Saint-Jean which is the Francophone section of the University of Alberta. On April 2nd the representative will explain what to expect from and what the benefits are of doing a degree in which the language of instruction is French. We will be holding a Parent Micro Session to share this information with families on April 2nd at 6pm. Here is the virtual link meet.google.com/vrn-ycfx-xcb
