Weekly Update #1
Good afternoon
My name is Shelley Barber and I am the Administrative Assistant at RTHS. We are pleased to welcome returning and new families to RTHS for the upcoming school year. Please look for these weekly emails from me as our main form of communication to families about information and events taking place at the school as well as our school website https://robertthirsk.cbe.ab.ca/
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and we look forward to seeing students back in the building on Monday, August 31, 2026

Any students who did not get their photo take on one of those two days will have the opportunity to have them done on Tuesday, September 1st. Please note that there will be no proofs sent home to families, parents will be able to access via mylifetouch.ca using their student’s id #.
Timetable Change Requests
Thank you for your patience while our Guidance Department works through the course change forms.
Timetable Request form will be available from Wednesday, August 19th- Tuesday, September 1st @ 4 PM. To create space for Guidance Counsellors to respond to requests, Guidance Counsellors will prioritize meetings for students who have a "See Counsellor" note on their timetable upon students return to school if needed.
