CBE online survey for schools impacted by new school openings

Schools Impacted by New School Openings

​​The opening of 15 new Calgary Board of Education schools in the 2016-17 school year means changes for many of our existing schools. Over the past year the CBE has been gathering feedback from those affected by possible changes to the future use of learning space.

The online survey is available for parents, students, staff and the general public to provide feedback on the scenarios being considered for the future use of learning space. Please take the time to fill out the Area 1 and 2 survey by selecting the http://fluidsurveys.com/s/cbe-area1and2/ link . The online survey will be open until Dec. 5, 2016.

 
Schools in Are​​a​​​​s I an​​d II

Georges P. Vanier School
North Haven School
Simon Fraser School
Simons Valley School
Sir John A. Macdonald School
Tom Baines School


Cambrian Heights School
Captain John Palliser School
Colonel Irvine School
Colonel Macleod School
Edgemont School

Review the Area I and II scenarios, rationale and enrollment projections for the proposed scenarios and projected enrollment numbers.

One of the scenarios the CBE is considering is for the Regular program, at Colonel Irvine Junior High School, to be moved to Sir John A. MacDonald Junior High School. This means the Home Area students (Rosemont, Cambrian Heights, Highwood, North Haven) will have to travel longer distances to attend Junior High.

More information about the changes can be found at the links of the CBE Engagement Sessions on the schools impacted by new openings:
