Dear Families & Caregivers,
We are now in the final stretch of the 2024-25 school year, and we have seen many students this week for outcome completion. Please know that during exam week, outcome completion time is available to students who are missing assignments, need to work on an outcome, etc. Information around the schedule for this can be found here: https://jackjames.cbe.ab.ca/exam-schedule
Just a quick note for those students who have signed out a locker this year. Please make sure you remember to clean it out over the next week.

Thanks to EducationMatters
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to EducationMatters for their generous support with many of our field trips this year. Because of this funding, our students were able to take part in meaningful, hands-on learning experiences that would not have been financially accessible for many of them otherwise. From land-based cultural teachings to environmental science in the field, leadership camps, trades competitions, and therapeutic animal-assisted learning, each opportunity helped students connect with curriculum in powerful and lasting ways. Your support removed barriers and opened doors for our students to grow, explore, and succeed beyond the classroom. Thank you for investing in their learning and well-being.
