The CBE has made a final decision on the changes to the programming of various schools in Calgary. Posted below is a note from the CBE regarding the changes:
Decisions for Area I, II and V Schools Impacted by New School Openings
The CBE has undertaken an extensive engagement process to understand what is important to students, parents, staff and community members as we make changes to the use of learning space in 27 CBE schools.
After careful review and thoughtful consideration, we are implementing the plans presented at the January 2017 open houses. We have also made decisions about where Woodlands and Woodbine students will attend junior high.
We believe these decisions provide the best use of learning space for our students, schools and communities as a whole. It also balances our values and planning principles with what we heard from our students, staff, parents and community.
Thank you to everyone who participated at in-person sessions, open houses and through online surveys throughout the engagement process. Your thoughtful contributions have made a meaningful difference in decision-making.
To learn more about the individual decisions and implementation plans for each of the directly affected schools, please visit their school website.
For details on this engagement process and an overview of all of the decisions made, please visit our website at cbe.ab.ca/dialogue.
What impact does this have on the students that attend Rosemont School?
The impact on Rosemont students will be minimal. The CBE are making changes to the attendance areas, for the 2017/2018 school year, of the two Junior High Schools that Rosemont students feed into: Colonel Irvine and Georges P. Vanier. The decision to change the attendance area was made to address the fact that the schools will be over capacity in the near future. The changes allow for space in the programs offered at the schools.
