Dear Thomas B. Riley Families,
Grade 7 and 9 Ski Trip this week!
The Grade 7 students will be attending Winsport this Wednesday February 21 and the Grade 9 students will be attending on Thursday February 22. Students who are not attending the field trip will have alternative activities provided at the school.
For students going skiing, please ensure they bring a winter jacket and snowpants, tall socks, and gloves. If you have any trouble providing these items please contact the main office immediately.
Grade 8 Band Trip
Grade 8 students who are currently taking band, will attend the AIBF Band Festival on Wednesday at the University of Calgary. We look forward to this great opportunity to showcase the talent at Thomas B Riley School and for students to display their hard work these past several months.
Lockdown Practice on Thursday
There is a scheduled lockdown practice this Thursday at 1:00pm for all students. The school will be closed and inaccessible for the duration of this drill. If students need an early pick up, please ensure they leave well in advance of this time or they will need to wait until the drill is completed. Thank you for your attention to this.
Grade 9 Farewell Parent Advisory Committee
We are in the process of electing representatives for a Grade 9 student committee to help plan their Grade 9 Farewell this year. We would love to have some parent help and input as well. We already have one member of our School Council who has agreed to take the lead on this parent committee. If you are interested in sharing your voice, and are interested in helping to plan, decorate, and celebrate our Grade 9s at the end of the year please email Mrs. Austin directly.
Grade 7 Assurance Online Survey – Please Participate
Attention Grade 7 parents! You will have received a mailed letter inviting you to fill out an Alberta Assurance Survey by the deadline of March 1, 2024. This survey is an important data point for our school and the information collected is used to make important decisions at Thomas B. Riley for the upcoming school year. We would very much value and appreciate your participation. Low participation rates lead to inaccurate data collection and can inadvertently skew this important perception data. We want to hear what you think about the school year so far!
Thursday is Casual Day
Due to our Healthy Hunger Snack on Thursday, it is casual day for our TLC students.
