Communication:
Classroom teachers communicate with parents about classroom news along with your child’s
progress using the Schoology platform. School calendar events are shared in our Week-at-a-Glance each week (website, social media and your email)
Power School & Schoology:
Ask the office for a Schoology parent letter (attached will be a QR code) on how to set up your parent account. Government update forms will be in your parent portal in Powerschool/SchoolEngage. Please call the office for username or password resets.
Attendance:
School attendance is very important in your child’s academic and social-emotional development.
Attendance including late arrivals are recorded each morning and afternoon. Please call the attendance line at 403-341-3777 option 1 and please leave your child’s full name, classroom teacher and the specific reason for the absence or lateness. All unexcused absences will result in an automatic call out and text message to the parent.
Soft Starts:
Relationships and connections are a focus of our school culture. Every classroom in Holy Family School begins their day with soft starts, this is an excellent structure to support the transition from home to school. It provides an opportunity for your child to connect with their teacher and classmates prior to moving forward with the day's lessons.
Hot Lunches:
You must register/create an account to order for your child at www.HealthyHunger.ca
We have hot lunch available on Fridays throughout the school year. Please sign up for a hot lunch account if you are interested in ordering. Hot Lunch is done in 2-3 month blocks. You can choose to skip some of the lunches within that block if your child does not want that particular vendor. Please watch the cut-off deadlines.
School Conferences:
Our parent-teacher conference bookings are done online. Watch for the information and access code.
This will be emailed and posted on social media before the time of the conferences/interviews.
