Here are a few reminders as we complete semester one:

Semester 2 Course Change Requests
Class change requests for the second semester are now being processed. Class changes can only be made by completing the Google form at the following link: https://forms.gle/57P9VgCpM8ZZYzxy5

This form must be completed by students logged into their rvschools.ab.ca school account. For security reasons, it cannot be accessed by parent accounts or personal student accounts. Class change requests must be submitted by January 26th, 2024, and requests must be for valid educational reasons, which include programming changes, accidental duplicate courses, or missing courses. Please encourage your children to check their second-semester schedules now and to make their requests as early as possible to ensure requests are processed before the semester begins. Questions can be directed to your child’s School Counsellor.

My Life With the Walter Boys (TV Series)
For those who were in our school community a couple of years ago, you might remember that a Netflix show was filmed on our campus. For those that are interested, My Life with the Walter Boys is now streaming on Netflix and you can see our school and campus prominently displayed in many scenes. They filmed scenes on the football field, track, basketball courts, art room, classrooms, and front entrance of the school. Many of our students at the time can also be seen as extras.

Athletics
The first badminton meeting is scheduled for January 16th in the Wilson Gym at lunch. Any students looking to try out for the team must be there to sign up and learn about the tryouts and season expectations.

Culinary
The Lakers Bistro will be closed on Friday, January 19th, and will re-open for Semester 2 on Monday, February 5th, 2024. The Lakers Bistro will still be offering the same tasty food and great prices as it did in semester one but watch out for new menu items weekly. Students can continue to pay with cash, Lakers Bistro punch cards, or debit/credit at the business office.

School Council Meeting
All parents/guardians are welcome to attend our next school council meeting at 6:00 P.M. on January 16th, 2024, in the CHS Learning Commons.

The last day of classes will be Thursday, January 18th, 2024.
Final Reassessment Week is January 19th - 26, 2024.

Land Acknowledgment

Rocky View Schools would like to acknowledge the land and recognize all the Indigenous Peoples whose footprints have marked these lands from time immemorial. Together, we can learn and honour the Ways of Knowing of Indigenous Peoples for all future generations.
