Students will have come home with reflective stickers to help improve their visibility during darker mornings. We encourage families to consider adding these to backpacks or outerwear.
We also ask all families to help keep students safe by following our school drop-off procedures. Students must be dropped off on 34th Street only. Please do not drop students off beside the school buses, in the alley, or in the back parking lot.
Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our school community safe.
We would like to recognize and thank the students and staff who organized and participated in our Remembrance Day Ceremony on November 10. Their thoughtful contributions helped create a meaningful opportunity for our school community to reflect, remember, and honour those who have served and sacrificed.
Thank you to everyone involved in making this important occasion so meaningful.

Outdoor learning is a big part of life at Connect, and our Connect Closet helps keep students equipped for the weather. We’ve recently sorted through our collection of winter gear, keeping a more manageable supply at school and donating surplus items to Jacket Racket, which helps Calgary children access warm winter clothing.
Kids grow quickly, and keeping everyone outfitted for winter can be a challenge. If your family could use help with winter gear, you can learn more at jacketracketcalgary.com.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Connect Closet—your generosity is helping keep children warm, both at Connect and across our wider community.
If you’re interested in volunteering some other time throughout the year, please take a minute to fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc25YVFPjzlKBasMnieki3LuuzRqRnUbZcKF7bGnmNR5KKFkg/viewform?usp=header
