Dear Andrew Sibbald Families,  

Here’s hoping your family’s first week back at school went well. Teachers and Support Staff are very pleased with all the progress that students have made at this point in the school year. Your child’s individual progress around learning and wellbeing will be shared with you on your child’s report card. This will be made available through PowerSchool on January 27th.  

Thank you to the parents who have volunteered this year so far. We appreciate your engagement and the opportunities to enrich our student’s learning. Please see some of the recent and awesome Grade 2 learning down at Fish Creek Park here and here.  

Kindergarten Registration for 2025-2026 School Year

Children can be registered for Kindergarten if they turn five years old on or before Dec. 31 of the school year they will be in Kindergarten. For example, when registering for the 2025-26 school year, the child must turn five on or before Dec. 31, 2025. Supporting documents, including the Birthdate Calculator can be found on the CBE’s Kindergarten page. 

 

All registered families will be invited to attend our Kindergarten Orientation this Spring, hosted on Thursday, May 1st at 6:00 p.m. Further, one-on-one meet and greet intake meetings will be hosted by our Kindergarten Teacher after the orientation throughout the month of May. These meetings allow families a chance to share information about their children as learners and start making important connections with our school’s staff and school community.
