Dear TB Riley Families,
Final Chance to Order a 2024-25 Yearbook!
The 2024-2025 Yearbook is now available for purchase!
The cost this year will be $30. The last day to purchase will be May 10thand they will be delivered by the end of the year. Go to: https://ybpay.lifetouch.ca/Order/ and use Thomas B Riley School Yearbook ID: 14110725.
We require a minimum of 200 orders and only have 100 so far. If not enough orders are placed, it will impact our decision about whether or not to run a yearbook for the following year.
If you do not place an order by May 10 you will not be able to order a copy.
High School Musical Jr. Performance – Thursday!!
Join us for TBR's Musical theatre production of "High school Musical Jr" running this Thursday, May 08 at 5:30 PM. Doors will open at 5:00pm for seating.
No need to purchase a ticket ahead of time. Entrance will be by donation and all proceeds will go towards future drama productions at TB Riley School. In addition, we will have an optional concession set up if you wish to purchase items. This concession will be run by our Grade 9 students and proceeds from this will go to fundraising for our upcoming Grade 9 Farewell
Come watch our students "bop to the top" and "stick to the status quo" in this high energy, fast paced musical that we built together!
Hope to see you there. We're all in this together!!
School Spirit Days – Monday and Wednesday
In honor of Cinco de Mayo the students have organized a red, white, and green day on Monday, May 5, 2025. In addition, Wednesday, May 7 is Hats On for Mental Health Day! Students are encouraged to bring a small donation to the office in support for mental health initiatives.
Students are welcome to either participate in one or both spirit days or it is an expectation that TLC students must wear their uniforms on these days.
Next Year Intent Form
It is very important we have an accurate count of students who are expected to attend TBR next school year. This helps us to plan for appropriate staffing levels and minimizes the need to reorganize in September and either add or collapse homerooms.
If you know that you that your child will not be attending TBR next year we ask that you please let us know so we can designate them to the correct school. If you have applied to a program outside of CBE and are still waiting to hear back, please let us know this also. You will not lose your spot if you change your mind, but it helps us to plan accordingly in advance. If either of these situations apply, please fill out this form:
Next Year Intent Form:

Thank you for your attention to this. If your child is planning to attend next year, no action is required.
Next Year Option Forms
Option forms for next year are now open until May 16. After this time, the form will be closed and option classes will be assigned based on availability only. All grades should have their options form posted in their google classrooms. Please remind your child to fill this out on their own.
Note that Band is a full year option and attendance at rehearsals, concerts, and all field trips is a mandatory part of this program. No previous experience in Band required. We have opened up our program to both TLC and Regular Program students for the next school year so there will be lots of space if your child chooses this option. In addition, we will prioritize Band students’ second option choices as they will have less options than others given that it is a full year program.
