Raz Kids, 

Each year, Dalhousie has a lottery for Kindergarten and Grade 1 as we are only allocated so many spots. To help us with planning, please let us know if you intend on registering a younger sibling at Dalhousie for the 2023-2024 school year by completing this form. Siblings who live in the walk zone have Priority 1 registration status and those who live outside of the walk and within our catchment areas have Priority 2 registration status. If you have more than one child for Kindergarten and/or Grade 1 for whom you would like to apply, please go back to the link and fill out one form for each potential registrant. Please note that providing this information does not mean that your child is registered. You must still complete a registration form. To be included in the lottery, which will be held February 15, 2023, your completed expression of interest with all relevant paperwork must be received by February 14, 2023 at noon. Expressions of interest can be submitted starting January 16, 2023. Any references to registration assumes offer of a registration spot in the lottery. This form must only be filled out for new registrations to Dalhousie.  If you child currently attends Dalhousie, their registration automatically rolls over and you do not need to do anything.

This year Dalhousie School has decided to give back to the community by participating in the Salvation Army Toy Drive. This toy drive is designed to bring cheer to low-income families with children aged 0-12. A box has been set up in the main office to collect donations. If you would like to contribute please bring your unwrapped toys into the office before noon on December 20, 2022.

We are in the last month before Winter Break.  A reminder that if your child will be absent for 5 days or more due to a holiday, an extended absence form must be filled out.  Please email dalhousie@cbe.ab.ca to request the form and have it submitted before your child’s absence.

Southland Transportation has updated the MyBusStop app to include push notifications.  When there is a posted delay on a bus route, families can now receive an alert directly to their mobile phone. To receive notifications families must have the app installed on their phone and have registered on the website. They can subscribe to their route using the code provided in MyCBE. You can then allow the app to provide you notifications on their route delays

A reminder that the last day of classes before winter break is Thursday, December 22, 2022.  Classes will resume on Monday, January 9, 2023.
