2024-2025 Weekly News
Posted onJune 24, 2025
The last few weeks have been a fantastic display of our students' talents and achievements. The FAN Awards celebrated the exceptional Academic, Athletic, Fine Arts, and CTS achievements of our students. The Band Concert and Musical: Grease were spectacular showcases of our students' talents. Our Graduation Ceremony at the Jubilee Auditorium was also a brilliant ceremony celebrating the three-year journey of our graduating students. I couldn't be happier to be the Principal of Chestermere High School. Congratulations to all our students, staff, and parents/guardians. It has been a great year.
25-26 Student Timetables
Student timetables for the 2025-2026 school year are now available to students on PowerSchool. We would appreciate it if all students could review their timetables to ensure all courses are accurate. If there are errors in your timetable, please complete the Course Correction form linked below. Corrections must be made using this form to ensure an efficient and effective correction process. Corrections will not be accepted via email, in person, or by phone call.
Students must submit correction requests and access the form while logged into their rvschools.ab.ca Gmail accounts. The form is not available to parents or non-logged-in students for security purposes.
Corrections must be for valid timetable errors. Valid reasons include being in a class twice, requesting a Learning Commons block, needing to retake a graduation requirement that wasn’t passed, or adjusting a schedule to meet new post-secondary or career requirements. The form can be accessed at: https://forms.gle/cWP46CqNnTqD2f7i9
It will become more challenging to make corrections the longer students wait to submit their correction request, so please submit any necessary corrections as soon as possible. The form will close on Friday, June 27, at 1:00 P.M. Questions can be directed to your child’s school counsellor:
Ms. Beth Allan – ballan@rockyview.ab.ca (last names A-K)
Ms. Michelle Guitard – mguitard@rockyview.ab.ca (last names L-Z)
Students Leaving RVS
Google accounts, including student email addresses, will be deactivated on July 31. For students who are graduating (Class of 2025) or not returning to RVS in the fall, please ensure that any important documents or emails are saved or forwarded before this date.

This week, I would like to extend a note of appreciation to all the hardworking individuals who have put in a great effort with our students this year. They say it takes a village to raise a child, from our teachers, learning assistants, caretakers, and support staff to the amazing parents/guardians who provide so many supports to our students. These exceptional individuals help guide our students through their teenage years and have had a profoundly positive impact on them as they grow into healthy, happy, and productive adults. Thank you.

Responsible Behaviours
For the last month of classes and final assessments, our students must maintain their focus on the learning and achievement of all students in our community. All students must work together to create a safe and caring learning environment where students can demonstrate their knowledge and complete their final assignments without disruption. Behaviours that compromise the safety or learning of students or disrupt the regular operation of our school may have consequences. Water guns/balloons are not permitted on school property. Wet floors would compromise the safety of all our staff and students.

Painted Lady Butterfly Enrichment Experience: A Closer Look at Metamorphosis
This spring, students and staff at CHS will have the unique opportunity to observe the complete metamorphic life cycle of Vanessa cardui, commonly known as the Painted Lady butterfly. As part of a school-wide enrichment initiative, live caterpillars have been introduced into select classrooms where they can be observed as they grow, form chrysalides, and eventually emerge as adult butterflies. Once the caterpillars pupate, they will be transferred to a shared enclosure where their transformation can be viewed more widely by students and staff. We look forward to witnessing this process unfold in real time and appreciate the science and beauty of metamorphosis within our learning environment.

This information is intended to help provide greater insight into why and when assessments are done and encourage ongoing communication between teachers and families to support student success. Read the second article in our series this month, covering numeracy and literacy interventions at RVS. Our earlier article, Understanding Provincial and Divisional Assessments, is also available on our website.
Register Now to Save on Transportation Fees
Rocky View Schools (RVS) has opened transportation registration for the 2025/26 school year through SchoolEngage. Parents/guardians are encouraged to register by June 30 to receive a $40 discount or by Aug. 1 to ensure bus service for the first day of school. In response to rising costs, transportation fees have increased for the coming school year. A list of fees is available on the RVS website. Families are encouraged to take advantage of the early registration discount to offset some of the transportation costs. Eligible families may also apply to have their transportation fees waived by completing a Transportation Fee Waiver. The June 30 early registration discount of $40 is extended to each of the first two Kindergarten–Grade 12 students in a family, with additional students receiving $20 off if registering early. A minimum payment of 50 per cent is due at registration. Bus service may be cancelled up until Oct. 31 to receive a full refund for all fees paid. Families are urged to register as soon as possible for transportation to ensure a smooth start to the fall. To guarantee service for the first day of school, registration must be received before Aug. 1. Students registered after this deadline may experience delays of two to three weeks before they can ride the bus. A step-by-step guide to registration, fee information, and more is available on the Transportation section of the RVS website.
Last Month of Classes
For the last month of classes and final assessments, our students need to keep their focus on the learning and achievement of all students in our community.
