October 20 is a Professional Development Day

A reminder to families that Friday, October 20 is a professional development day and that there is no school for students.

School Fees

Lunch Supervision - Please log into your MyCBE account online and register for lunch supervision. The fee will be added to your account later in October. No child is ever denied access because of an inability to pay fees. Fee waiver applications can be filled out through your MyCBE account.

School Photo Retakes

Lifetouch Photos will be back at Bridlewood School on Thursday, October 26 for individual photo retakes. Students who were absent on the original day will have an opportunity to have their photos take on this day. If you want to have your child’s picture retaken on this day, please let their teacher know.

We are currently in need of two volunteers for this day. If you are able to help out, please let us know at Bridlewood@cbe.ab.ca. Volunteers need to have a current police security check on file with the school.

Halloween

Tuesday, October 31 will continue to be a day of learning at school. Students have the option of wearing a school appropriate Halloween costume to school on this day.

Please note the following requirements for costumes should your child choose to participate:

• Masks, props (such as fake weapons) remain at home. Please be mindful of costumes that may be frightening for some of our younger and more sensitive learners. No blood or gore.
• Costumes should be such that students should be able to participate in regularly-scheduled activities such as physical education.

Please save candy and treats for Halloween evening celebrations as we will not be able to hand out treats to students. We have a number of children that have allergies and food sensitivities.
