Earl Grey Weekly Message
I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather! This week, we are pleased to welcome Ms. Stephanie Berezowski to Earl Grey School. Ms. Berezowski will be working Tuesdays and Thursdays with students across our primary grades to support literacy development until March. Please join me in welcoming Ms. Berezowski to our school community.
Lock Down Drill
This week, our school practiced a lockdown drill as part of our regular safety procedures, with support from the Calgary Police Service. Early in the week, teachers took time to explain the process to students and answer any questions so they knew what to expect. Our students did an excellent job following directions, and CPS was very impressed with how calmly and responsibly they responded.
Calgary Police Service also reinforced the importance of all visitors signing in and reporting directly to the office, so the school is aware of all visitors in the building. We appreciate our school community’s continued support in following these important safety procedures.
Attendance Line
Please follow the steps below to report your child absent:
- Call 403-777-8570 (option 1) if your child will be absent.
