Remembrance Day Assembly: Family Photo Contributions

As we prepare for our Remembrance Day assemblies, we invite families to share photographs of veterans and service members from their families, or loved ones they would like to honour. These photos will be included in a special slideshow during our assemblies as we come together to remember and recognize those who have served.

If you would like to contribute, please email your photos to Mme Christina Cameron at chcameron@cbe.ab.ca. If possible, please include your loved one's name and their connection to your family.

Thank you for helping us make our Remembrance Day assemblies meaningful and personal for our school community.

Fees & Waivers

We encourage families to review the MyCBE accounts regularly to ensure that there are no outstanding fees.  Our apologies that some families have had issues with textbooks on their accounts.  We are working with our Fees Department to rectify this issue.  Thank you for your patience.

Should families require a waiver, more information can be found here.
