If you are able, can you please send in a donation of: Dog or Cat food, Litter boxes, cat litter scoopers, toys, or metal food bowls (no plastic please). Grade 3's have a goal of colleting at least 50 donated items. Please help us reach this goal!

School Board Trustees play a crucial role in governing our schools. They set priorities, approve divisional budgets, and make decisions that put our students first.

MORNING SUPERVISION / FRONT OF SCHOOL DROP OFF
Thank you to families who drop off their children in the morning and stay to help supervise until teachers are outside at 8:25. This is a reminder that the supervisors outside at 8:10 are there to supervise students arriving on the early buses at 8:10. If your child requires an 8:10 drop off and is not on the early bus, please contact Mrs. Garner or Mrs. Kulak to make alternate arrangements. 403-563-3998 Please park in the parking lot and walk your child(ren) into the playground. The front of the school is not a drop off zone and dropping off at the front of the school makes it difficult for other drivers to see people on the crosswalk. Your help and support to ensure the safety of all is appreciated.
Thank you.
Horace Allen School

LOST AND FOUND
Lost and found items up to December have been donated. Going forward - Please clearly label all of your child's belongings. This makes it easier for staff to return 'lost' items to their owners. If you are missing items, please check the baskets at each entrance to the school. Clothing not picked up by the end of April will be washed and donated.
MABEL'S LABELS FUNDRAISING
Our school is fundraising with Mabel’s Labels! If you’re not familiar with Mabel’s Labels, they are personalized, durable, waterproof labels. They are great for everything from shoes, clothing tags, water bottles and backpacks. You can customize them with your name and a design, and they are dishwasher, laundry and microwave safe. Mabel’s Labels also offers clothing stamps, silicone bands for water bottles and medical alert labels. This is a great way to ensure your items don’t end up in the lost & found or mixed up. To reduce the spread of germs, we highly recommend labelling but they are also useful for everyday life. To support our fundraiser, visit campaigns.mabelslabels.com and select "Horace Allen School". You can pick out whatever labels or product you want, and it will ship for free directly to your house! Thank you for supporting us! Click on the links below for additional information!
