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.
Summer CALM (Canmore Location) Course Dates (these additional courses are being offered):
- July 2-6, 2024
- July 8-12, 2024
- August 5-9, 2024
School Council and Parent Society Meetings
Parent Council and Parent Society meetings will take place face-to-face in the DTS learning commons May 21st at 6:00-7:45. We look forward to seeing you there!
Band Parent Society Meeting
Please note that the May Band Society meeting has been moved to Wednesday, May 29th at 7:00pm via Microsoft Teams. Click here to access the meeting. All band families are welcome to attend. Please email dtsbandsociety.secretary@gmail.com if you have any trouble accessing the meeting.
Y-Mind Teen
Y-Mind Teen is a free early intervention support for young people experiencing mild-moderate stress and anxiety through the YMCA for teens 13-18. Please see the link here for more details and to register.
Options Choices
Please ensure your child has entered PowerSchool to choose their preferred options for the coming school year. This supports us in matching students with desired courses. Note that PowerSchool does not allow for choices to be ranked. Every endeavour is made to pair students with their preferred complementary courses. All complementary courses offer excellent learning opportunities.
Grade 9 Field Trips
Caregivers are requested to please complete forms for Calaway Park and to make payment for both Calaway Park and Bowling. In addition, we are seeking volunteer support for this trip. If you are able to support this trip and have your CBE volunteer clearance in place, please email Simon Tetreault (srtetreault@cbe.ab.ca).
