Yearbook: Deadline to purchase a yearbook is Friday, April 28. The cost is $21. If you want to purchase additional books per student, please contact the office Dalhousie@cbe.ab.ca It is an optional purchase and can be paid for through your MyCBE account.
With the change in weather conditions, please ensure that your child is appropriately dressed for the weather and any changes in weather. Additionally, please send an extra change of clothes with your child to school to be kept in their backpack. This should include a top, a bottom, change of socks and underwear. Recess and lunch is a great opportunity for fun and play in the snow and slush, resulting in wet clothing. The office has a very limited supply of clothes. Thank you for helping us keeping your child happy and dry.
We are so excited to have parent volunteers back in the classrooms! Please ensure your police clearance has been correctly uploaded prior to signing up for one of the many volunteer opportunities. If you are unsure of your status please reach out to our lovely office team who will be more than happy to assist you with this process.

Many parents at conferences requested more information regarding vocabulary, so here is the vocabulary that we have been working on over the past couple of weeks. I will be assessing the children on their expressive knowledge of these words the week or two after Spring Break. I would hope that would know at least 15/20 at that point in time. Google Translate is a wonderful tool to help with pronunciation if needed.
La manzana, la lechuga, la barra, el sándwich
Kindergarten Costumes:
Girls - We have skirts and shirts for the little girls, however, we ask that they come to school wearing white or as close to solid white t-shirts or tank top and tights (any colour).
Boys - Come to school wearing dark dress pants and a white or as close to white solid t-shirt or dress shirt.
