Parent-Teacher Conferences

With labour action by CUPE Local 40 members limiting access to CBE schools after hours, the decision has been made by the CBE leadership team to move March conferences online. Based on this system directive, on March 20 and March 21 2025, we will be shifting our school learning conferences online.

Thursday, March 20 is a regular school day for students in grades 1-6. There is no school for all Kindergarten students. Conferences will run online Thursday evening from 4:30 -7:30pm.

Friday, March 21 there is no school for all students. On this day, conferences will be held from 8:00am -12:00pm. All conferences will be held online using Microsoft Teams and conference time slots will be 10 minutes. The link to the Teams meeting for your conference will be in the email response you receive when you book your conference time. To book an online meeting, login to your MyCBE parent account and click the link for School Conferences. The booking system will open to parents at 3:30pm on Thursday, March 13 and close at 6:00am on Thursday, March 20. We look forward to connecting with students and families to celebrate growth and set next steps in learning together. Please contact the office if you require further support.

New Technology

Sunalta is celebrating a significant amount of new technology that has arrived including 40 new chromebooks, 12 new iPads, 10 new Macbooks and a 3-D printer! Students are so excited to have this opportunity to learn and grow in their digital skills through a design-thinking process.

Alberta Assurance Survey

Parents/guardians of children in grade 4 have received an email from the CBE on Feb. 25, 2025, regarding the Alberta Education Assurance Survey (AEA). We encourage participation in this survey as it informs our planning for the coming school year. All staff and grade 4 students will be completing a version of the same survey at school. The deadline for survey submissions is March 21, 2025. Thank you in advance for your time and participation.

Lost and Found

Our lost and found continues to grow! If your child is missing an item of clothing, please pop into the school. We also kindly remind you to label your child’s belongings with your child’s name, so that when items go missing and are found, they are easier to return to their rightful owner. Please note that after Friday, March 21, these items will be collected and donated to charity.
