Stay Informed:

Querida familias,

I wanted to say a big thank you to our parent volunteers that handed out apples on Tuesday.  We are very thankful for their support and for all of your fundraising efforts as this helps our school to take part in a variety of activities. 

Change of Plans and Busing

We understand that plans change, and there are times that you need to pick up your students instead of them taking the bus.  We ask that you please email the school at dalhousie@cbe.ab.ca to let us know.  If you need to make changes past 1pm (Monday to Thursday) and 11am on Fridays, please call the main office to let us know.  The school email inbox is checked several times over the day, but a phone call will ensure that get the information in a timely manner.

School Absences

Please remember to call the attendance line to let us know of your student’s absence – 403 777 6030 ext. 1. This not only helps us as we complete daily attendance but is also a security concern in the case of emergencies. Just a gentle reminder to keep your students home if they are not feeling well.

Help Us Keep Supporting Our Students!

Our previous Chair and Vice-Chair have completed their terms, and we urgently need to fill these two roles so we can keep our fundraising and student supports running strong. If you've been looking for a way to give back to our school community, now is the perfect time to step in! ! As our chair, you’ll be the guiding voice, you’ll steer activities, champion our goals, and lead meetings as an impartial, non-voting guide. As our vice chair, you'll be a trusted partner to the Chair, review communications, and help our school community thrive.

Please reach out to us at dalhousieschoolparentsociety@gmail.com if you have any questions or would like additional information. These roles need to be filled by Oct 8 so please don’t hesitate!  

Photo Retake Day

Photo retakes will take place on October 13, 2026.  We are looking for a few volunteers for the day to help with gathering our students.  If you are able to help, please email Sra. Jackson at cgjackson@cbe.ab.ca.

Grade 1-3 Swimming

Our grade 1-3 students will be participating in the Swim to Survive program with the City of Calgary.  We are looking for volunteers to help in both the boys’ and girls’ change rooms.  If you have your volunteer clearance, please let your homeroom teacher know.

Healthy Hunger – Fun Lunch

Our next fun lunch will take place on October 28, 2026 and will be offered by Boston Pizza.  Fun Lunch orders for October 28 are due tonight at midnight on Friday October 23.

We are also looking for volunteers to help with handing out fun lunch. Even if you can only help for one hour, we’d love to have you! (Please note: A police clearance is required to volunteer).

Dalhousie School Council

Dalhousie School Council helps connect parents to the school and provides additional learning opportunities for all students. There are many ways to get involved that do not require you to hold a position on council. If you would like more information about getting connected or volunteer opportunities, please send an email to dalhousieschoolcouncil@gmail.com. The School Council and the Parent Society will meet on Oct. 8, 2026.  At the beginning of the meeting, the Grade 6 team will do a short presentation.   

This will be a hybrid meeting and you can access the meeting through the following link: School Council and Parent Society Meeting-Join | Microsoft Teams

With gratitude,
Erick Noriega, Principal
