Parent Updates

School photos retakes were originally scheduled to happen on October 17 & 18 have been rescheduled to November 2 & 3.  If you would like your child to have photo retakes, please email your child's teacher to let them know. Class Photos will also happen on the same days.

Starting on Monday, October 17, 2022 we will be collecting food/non-perishable items for the Veteran’s Food Drive. There will be boxes set up at the front and back door for food drop off. At Dalhousie School, we want to support Calgarians who are less fortunate than us, and one way we are doing this is through the Veteran’s Food Drive. This drive will run until after Remembrance Day. Items that the food bank is urgent need of are the following:

  • Kleenex – tissue boxes
  • Napkins
  • Paper towel
  • 1 litre juice cartons
  • Juice boxes for lunches
  • Cereal
  • Coffee and coffee pods
  • Pancake mix
  • Laundry soap
  • Granola bars
  • Ziploc bags (medium and large)
  • Fabric softener
  • Rice packages
  • Cookies
  • Canned chili / stew
  • Mayonnaise
  • $25.00 grocery gift cards

Thank you for your support of this worthy cause.

Halloween

With Halloween coming up, students are invited to wear costumes to school on Monday, October 31.  The costumes must be worn the whole day and must be appropriate for school environment meaning no violent or inappropriate content or messaging. Accessories such as swords, guns, knives, weapons etc. should not be brought to school.  As costumes should not impede learning, we ask that no mask even if it’s a half face mask be worn to school.  Those wanting to wear COVID masks are welcome to. Due to dietary restrictions and preferences, no food should be brought to school for sharing purposes.  While well intended, other non-food treats should also be not brought to school (goodie/loot bags).
