Dear Thomas B. Riley Families,
No School Monday
Monday is a PD Day for all staff. There is no school for staff or students.
Next School Council Meeting is Online – Thursday, October 22, 2026
Due to a conflict with our school hosting basketball on the Wednesday of this week, we have to move our school council meeting to Thursday, October 22, 2026. This meeting will be hosted online. Link to follow.
Spectator Reminders at TBR
We will be cheering on our volleyball athletes this week as we start games against other schools in our Division. Go Ravens Go!
CBE middle schools have set similar expectations for games that promote safety, respect, and a positive experience for all.
They include: (Please read carefully)
- All visiting student spectators/athletes must be under the direct supervision of a parent/guardian for the duration of the games. Supervision requires the adult to be in the gymnasium where the sport is taking place.
- Student spectators without parental supervision will be directed by the hosting school administration to leave the building.
- There are no in and out privileges for spectators. If you leave the building, you should not re-enter. Entry is through the front door only of the hosting school.
- All spectators - students or adults - are expected to cheer and support players/coaches/referees/parents/guardians in a positive manner. We are reminded that the referees must be treated with respect. Some of them are high school students who are gaining valuable experience. In addition, our coaches are teachers who are volunteering their time to support our athletes and we could not make this happen without them!
- Disrespectful behaviour will be addressed by school administration promptly and may result in spectators being directed to leave the game and the school building.
- Parents/guardians who bring younger children are responsible at all times for their direct supervision. Please ensure that they are not wandering the halls and playing on physical education equipment in the gym/on stage. The stage in each school gymnasium is off limits.
- If students from TBR wish to stay for a home game, they must leave the school premises after school at 2:30pm and return no earlier than 3:45pm. There is no supervision for students and the school is not open for students to wait for the games to begin in between school ending and game start times.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! If you are interested and able to volunteer, please pick a shift. No experience necessary; paid casino advisors will be there with us, all day, and teach us everything we need to know. Easy peasy work and fun!
If you are a night owl and able to work evenings and stay awake past 10pm…even better! Please grab a PM shift.
If you have a friend or family member that you’d like to work a shift with, signup for two shifts. You will just need to put their email address and their phone number in.
This is by far, the biggest fundraiser that TBR will have. We are only granted a casino by AGLC, once every 18 - 24 months. Our last casino was in 2023! TBR will receive between $70,000 - $80,000 from this one, two day event. To put that into perspective, a regular ‘good’ fundraiser raises less than $1,000.
One note - if you are able to work both days, it has to be the same job. You cannot signup for Banker one day and Count Room Staff the next day.
