Dear Thomas B. Riley families,
School Planning Survey
Our school planning survey is now open. We invite your participation regarding school planning and school fees at Thomas B. Riley School. The intention is to gather feedback that may be considered in making future school planning decisions.
The survey will remain open until March 21, 2025.

School Learning Conferences
School Learning Conferences will be held on Thursday, March 20, 2025 and Friday, March 21, 2025. Due to the ongoing Labor Strike action from CUPE, all CBE conferences are being held online through TEAMS.
The school conferences booking link will be open to all families on Monday, March 10, 2025 at 7:00am in your Powerschool account. All conferences are set up for individual teachers of each subject. Please book with each teacher you would like to meet with.
There is not enough slots for every parent to sign up for every teacher. If you prefer, please check your child’s Powerschool account for updates on their grades and comments from their teachers.
Grade 7 Field Trip to Winsport
All Grade 7s are attending Winsport for a full day of skiing/snowboarding on Monday, March 17, 2025. Please ensure if your child is attending that they bring snowpants, jacket, and gloves. Students may bring their own helmet if they choose. All other ski or snowboarding equipment will be provided. Students and volunteers are not permitted to bring any other equipment with them to school or on the hill.
A reminder that this is a mandatory field trip as part of the Phys. Ed curriculum. Costs for this field trip are based on all students attending. If students are choosing not to attend they must remain at home as there is no alternate activities offered at the school for the day. In addition, fees will not be waived if students are choosing not to attend.
If costs/fees for this trip are a barrier, please email Mrs. Austin at taaustin@cbe.ab.ca to discuss fee waivers. No child will be denied the opportunity to participate due to financial constraints.
Thank you to school council for their generous support of this field trip in keeping the cost to half of the original amount.
