Important Dates

Hello, Wolfpack Families!

Towards the end of our new month, November (and March) Parent-Student-Teacher Conferences are important opportunities for parents/guardians and teachers to celebrate student progress and set goals together.  Discussions focus on learning (academic achievement), social-emotional well-being (character and citizenship), and strategies for success (personal development).  We value an ongoing partnership and encourage open dialogue and communication within each conference, encouraging questions and insights. 

Thank you to our School Council for supporting those connections by coordinating our annual Scholastic Book Fair during conferencing week. Stay tuned for more details! 

We also look forward to welcoming families to our next School Council meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 24 (followed by the Parent Society meeting). The evening will begin with a brief update from Ms. Wackett, our music specialist, who will share highlights of music learning and programming at QES. 

Your Proud Principal,
Travis Robertson

Reminder | Student Illnesses 

We know attendance decisions are often difficult as families aim to prioritize learning and usual routines. 

Reminders relating to General Health Measures are available, here, including: 

• In all matters of health, CBE takes direction from Alberta Education and Alberta Health Services. The following health measures can reduce the spread and lessen the impact of illness in school communities. These include: 
• stay home when feeling sick; 
• if possible, avoid close contact with people who are sick. 

As we monitor attendance and illness trends, please ensure the school is notified of absences (and whether or not those absences relate to illness) prior to any school absence. 

Upcoming | Remembrance Day Ceremony

Remembrance Day will be observed at QES on the morning of Tuesday, November 10.

Due to very limited capacity in our gymnasium, we are unable to accommodate guests or parents at the assembly.
