This week’s news: report cards go live and students at Elboya continue to participate in activities related to Pink Shirt Day. Students will have an opportunity to participate in a school-wide friendship bracelet exchange. They have had the opportunity to make bracelets this week during their supervised lunch times. Additionally, our school will be listening to a special live-stream presentation on anti-bullying on Feb. 25. Let’s spread kindness together!
Student Spotlight
Congratulations to Amira D for achieving a silver medal in wrestling and Deah S for her gold medal win in speed skating at the Alberta Winter Games. Bravo!
If your student has achieved a significant accomplishment outside of school time, please let us know as we’d like to recognize their achievement.
Report Card – Live Feb. 24
Report cards provide an important snapshot of your child’s learning, growth, and progress toward curriculum outcomes. They reflect both academic achievement and the development of key skills that support ongoing success. We encourage families to review the report carefully and celebrate accomplishments while identifying areas for continued growth. If you have any questions or would like further clarification, please reach out to your child’s teacher—open communication between home and school is essential in supporting each student’s success. Instructions on how to access report cards, click here.
