Student Led Conference March 21 and 22
Eric Harvie School will be hosting our student-led conferences the evening of Thursday March 21 and the morning of Friday March 22. This round of conferences will be student-led and will provide each learner a chance to show what they have learned as well as provide time for families to engage with the classroom teachers. Families will be asked to sign up for a 30 minute time block to allow for ample time for students to show-off their learning, and as well to provide time for conversation.
The Sign-up for conferences will open Saturday March 16th at 8:00 am and close on Wednesday March 20th at 4:00 pm. Please sign up for a 30 minute time slot under your child’s team of teachers.
ALL CONFERENCES ARE BOOKED ON-LINE THROUGH YOUR "MY CBE ACCOUNT":
All parents/guardians who have not already done so, will need to create a new account to access PowerSchool to book a conference. Families will need to go to www.cbe.ab.ca/myCBE to create an account. Families will need to know the email on file at their child’s school, as well as their child’s CBE Student ID number and birthdate. Support documents to assist families have been posted at www.cbe.ab.ca/support. This includes how to create an account, how to add additional students to your account, and frequently asked questions (Google translator is available on this website.)
NEED HELP?
If you need help setting up a MyCBE account or booking a conference, please call the school office for assistance or email Josie Cesario at jccesario@cbe.ab.ca directly.
