School Bathroom Concerns

Recently we have experienced an increase in vandalism in the school bathrooms, resulting in serious plumbing issues and additional work for our caretaking staff.

We kindly ask families to remind students to use the bathrooms appropriately and only for their intended purpose. Students should not flush or place unnecessary items in the toilets, and items attached to walls or stalls should not be removed or damaged.

We appreciate your support in helping us maintain clean, safe, and functional facilities for everyone.

Parking Lot Issues

Over the past several weeks, we have experienced an increase in unsafe student driving, inappropriate behavior, and littering in our parking lots. Please remind your students about the importance of safe driving practices and respecting school property.

If these concerns continue, we may need to re-evaluate student access to the upper parking lot.

Thank you for your support in helping us maintain a safe and clean environment for everyone.

That’s why Shift: The Project to End Domestic Violence at the University of Calgary created ConnectED Parents – a free text message program that sends parents and caregivers practical tips to help young people aged 6–20 build healthy, respectful relationships. 

Starting in June 2026, participants will get 2–3 short texts each week with tips, tools, and ideas you can use right away. Over 6-7 months, you’ll get about 70 messages to help you:
✔️ Start open, honest conversations about relationships and dating
✔️ Feel more confident connecting with your child
✔️ Support healthy relationships early and prevent teen dating violence
