DC | November Updates

Hello Independent Students and Guardians,

The Calgary Board of Education invites all parents and guardians to join us in a pre-recorded and live online series focusing on child and youth well-being. These sessions will be hosted in partnership with experts from Alberta Health Services and Recovery Alberta and will explore topics such as Peer Pressure, Healthy Relationships, Mental Health for Highly Sensitive Teens, and navigating Parent-Teen relationships.  Acting on feedback from participants who joined us during our live online sessions over the past two years, moving forward we invite all guardians and parents to listen to the pre-recorded or live sessions at their convenience. More information, including past recordings and registration links for this years' sessions can be found here | Child & Youth Well-Being Family & Caregiver Series 

Thank you to everyone for being flexible this week as we had Part A Diplomas in English and Social. There are diplomas every day next week and all 4 sites are still open for regular DC programing, however students may be asked to work in a different classroom than usual to accommodate all of our diploma writers. As a reminder, please be mindful of volume and noise next week so that we can be considerate of students writing these exams.

Don't forget that we have Fall Break coming up and there are no classes Nov 8 - 13. Our last day of class is on Thursday Nov 7th and we resume classes on Thursday Nov 14.

Happy Halloween!
