Next Year Requests
Planning for next year is well underway. If your child is designated for David Thompson School for next year, we kindly ask that you complete the following short survey if one of the following applies:
a. you have a specific request for your child's next year classes
b. you know your child(ren) will not (or likely not) be attending our school next year
The survey can be accessed using this link.
Requests can be submitted until noon on Friday, April 26th, 2024. As timetabling is a complex process, late requests will not be considered unless there are extenuating circumstances. Thanks in advance for your understanding.
Options course requests are also open. Please log into powerschool to make selections. Please note: Powerschool does not allow users to rank their choices.
Summer CALM Grade 9’s
Due to very high interest in the Summer CALM program, we have decided to offer 3 more courses this summer using our satellite facility in Canmore, Alberta. This program will follow a similar program to the Summer CALM program run at the Outdoor Learning Centre, but the schedule and timing of activities will differ. We will send the final schedule for this course in June with our parent communication.
Please note: This course is NOT run from the Outdoor Learning Centre. This course is located in Canmore, Alberta and will be run out of our bunk houses located at Elizabeth Rummel School.
Please register through CB-eLearn.
