Dear Thomas B Riley Families,
Welcome back! Hope everyone had a great Spring Break in this sixth iteration of Winter in Calgary!
No School Friday – Good Friday
Due to Good Friday there is no school for students or staff on Friday.
World Autism Awareness Day – Thursday, April 2, 2026
April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day. On this day, we recognize and celebrate individuals with autism and help spread awareness, understanding, and acceptance within our school community.
We invite everyone to wear blue on April 2nd to show your support and help create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all. Autism is part of the diversity that makes our school unique. By learning more and showing kindness, we can all help make a difference.
Let’s come together and turn our school blue! 💙

With Spring 💐 just beginning, it's the perfect time to plan ahead and purchase some beautiful tomato plants, herbs, strawberry plants, and lovely planters. I can personally say from last year that the quality is truly wonderful.
