Notes:
Spring Apparel: As the weather improves, please make sure that your child is coming to
school wearing appropriate clothing. As we all know, the weather in Calgary is
unpredictable. Please make sure that your child comes to school with a light coat and
appropriate footwear as we will be spending some of our gym time outside. If students
are coming to school with flip flops, it is strongly recommended that they have socks and
shoes to change into for the day as flip flops are not appropriate footwear inside the
classroom.
This update is CASL compliant. Please refer to the Belfast Website for other important
dates/events to the school community.
