CTF Options
Thank you for your ongoing support of our school and programs. We would like to remind families that the CTF option schedule for this year has now been finalized, and no further changes can be made. While we understand that not every course will align perfectly with every student’s interests, the options provided reflect a balance of fine arts, technology, leadership, and career skills in line with the Alberta Program of Studies. We recognize that many families have inquired about switching options, and we appreciate the high level of interest. At this point, however, schedules are set, and we will continue moving forward with the programs in place to provide a balanced and engaging learning experience for all students. Thank you for your understanding.
Transportation Inquiries
We kindly remind families that all questions or concerns regarding bussing and transportation should be directed to cbetransportation@cbe.ab.ca. The school does not manage transportation scheduling or routing and will not be able to provide updates on these matters. For the most accurate and timely information, please contact the CBE Transportation team directly.
My Bus Stop App
The best way to stay up to date regarding your child’s progress along its route and for bus delays is to ensure that you have downloaded the MyBusStop App. The school code to add your route is found in your Powerschool account under the Bus tab. The school is not able to provide this information as it is tied to your transportation registration.
Updating Demographic Information – Due Sept 15
You will have received an email from CBE regarding updating your child’s demographic information in Powerschool. These forms used to be completed via paper copies and now are required to be completed annually online. All parents must review, complete or update their child’s forms through Powerschool by clicking on the School Engage tab.
