Grade 5 families, please see the email sent from teachers for more information.   

Class Lists 

The process of developing class lists occurs right up until the first day of school. For this reason, families will find out who their child’s teacher is just before the start of school. An email will be sent at the end of August for more information regarding first day of school procedures.  

School Grounds 

Just a reminder that there is no school supervision after school and supervision of parents/guardians is encouraged to help minimize any problems. We have encouraged students to go straight home afterschool and check in with parents/guardians before meeting with peers. During lunch hours, 11:10am – 12:30pm, students in grades 1-5 are supervised by lunchroom supervisors. If kindergarten students are at the park with their adults at this time, the adults must be supervising their child and following the school playground rules to help minimize any problems.   

Outstanding Fees 

As the school year is almost over, please make sure to check your MyCBE account for any fees still outstanding. To check, log into your MyCBE, click on Fees & Waivers and outstanding fees will be there. Currently, Auburn Bay School has $4,289.25 outstanding.  Any fees that do not get paid, come out of school funding. New fees are added throughout the year which include: Milk, T-shirts/hoodies, recorders, field trips. 

You can make partial payments or apply for a waiver online, if needed, or contact the office with any concerns.

City of Calgary Responsible Pet Ownership Bylaw   

Just a reminder that according to the Responsible Pet Ownership Bylaw 

pets are not allowed on school grounds. We understand that all members of our community are responsible pet owners and consider their furry friends to be safe members of the family. However, it is in the best interest of all that we adhere to the above bylaw for the safety of the pet, the owner themselves, and most importantly our students. According to the bylaw, restricted area for pets includes the entire playing field, the grassed areas on school property and all sidewalks that lead to school entrances. We have had concerns expressed that dogs are coming on school property before and after school and as per the bylaw, this is not allowed. There are students and adults that have a fear of dogs and we always want to create a welcoming, caring and respectful environment for all at our school. Thank you in advance for following this bylaw and showing respect for everyone.
