Wilma Hansen – What’s Up at Wilma | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Important Upcoming Dates
Attendance We would like to remind families to please report student absences using the school’s designated attendance line/extension, 403-777-7430 Ext 0. Messages left on the main school voicemail/email are not checked as frequently throughout the day, which may result in delays in recording your child’s absence.
Please make sure to spell the student’s last name and include the date of the absence in the message.
Alternatively, you can email Mrs. Crane in the main office at: decranemctaggart@cbe.ab.ca.

School Parking lot is off limits
Please do not enter, stop, or park in the parking lot during the school day.
Given that there are no parking stalls available for public use and given that dropping off students in the parking lot is prohibited (and extremely unsafe), there is no reason for any parent/guests to be driving in the school parking lot, before, during and after school.
Bus zones, Handicap Parking zones and the school parking lot should not be used at anytime for dropping off or picking up students. This is in accordance with CBE policy to ensure the safety of all students.
If you are parking on the other side of the street, please insist that your children use the crosswalks, and not jay walk. Parents and students jaywalking between buses is extremely problematic, and we ask that parents/students obey the law and not jaywalk. Pedestrians should cross the street at corners and crosswalks only.

Spring Book Fair Coming Soon
Save the dates: May 11-14th. Please plan to support our bookfair by sending money with your students to browse the fair on their own or come see the drama presentation in the evening of May 13th and visit the fair at the same time. This will be the last sale this school year.
Supporting our school book fairs serve your students in two major ways: 1) they get to exercise autonomy in finding books that they like and choose and 2) the school gets rewards based on sales, which helps us to get the new and relevant books for our Learning Commons. The more books sold at the fair means the more books the school can offer students during their weekly book exchange time.
