Thank You and School Website Address

Thank you to ALL the families and community members that came out to our welcome back BBQ on August 29th.  We had over 370 students/families/community members come out! Please check out the school twitter account if you missed the event. 

We are committed to having clear, ongoing communication with our families through a consistent communication platform.  Please refer to our school website: http://school.cbe.ab.ca/school/keeler/about-us/contact/staff/pages/default.aspx  as each grade will be updating our grade blogs weekly with teacher contact information, principal’s message and information from our twitter feed account. This will be part of our communication plan for the school where parents can access everything they need from the website.

With our modified calendar, by August’s end, we have already put in nearly two weeks of learning with our students. The students and staff have been very engaged and we are off to a great start in our 2019-2020 school year. Our focus at Keeler School remains around student learning, and our students’ purpose for coming here is to learn. We learn not only in the classroom, but also in the hallway, the playground, the lunchroom, and everywhere in between! We are about all learning! 

Sincerely, 

Ms. Emily

Keeler 2020-2021 School Year

Good Afternoon Keeler Families, Due to the ongoing health risk of COVID-19, the Calgary Board of Education has made the decision to move   ALL   modified calendar schools and programs to the traditional calendar next year. This means our first scheduled day of classes for   Keeler School   will be Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2020. The safety of our students and staff is of the utmost importance, and we look forward to welcoming back our students as soon as it is safe to do so. More information about re-entry plans for the next school year will be provided later this summer. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work through the details.

Cold Weather Guidelines

Dear Parents, It is very important that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather, including hats, gloves, mittens, etc. We do not have enough clothing to lend out to kids who need these items and we also do not have the staff to be able to supervise a lot of kids inside on colder days over lunch and recess times. We will, however, have indoor recess and lunches when temperatures reach -20 Celsius or colder including wind-chill factor. Please see our guidelines below: CBE   Cold Weather Guidelines for On-Site Activities 
 When temperatures reach -20 Celsius or colder including the wind-chill factor, it is recommended that students be kept inside for recess or lunch breaks. The minus 20 Celsius guideline is comparable to other school jurisdictions in Alberta and across Canada.   note | this temperature is provided as a guideline and may be adjusted for the school/activity. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!  Kind regards, Emily Cadma
