Thank you to everyone who is using email to advise us of student absences. Please remember to provide the full student name, and be specific around times. Complete information allows us to record the absence with accuracy, and stops you from getting the attendance phone calls and emails at the end of the day. Did you know you can send absences to us in advance?? If you know your student will be away for an appointment, sporting event, or any reason, you can send that to us to be recorded in advance - one last thing to worry about!! Bowness@cbe.ab.ca.
