Art in Motion - E-Motion Dance Residency

Eric Harvie School is pleased to be welcoming in Jennifer Mahood starting on October 10 to lead a month long dance residency. Ms. Mahood describes the program as, “Working from an integrated brain-body approach, Art in Motion’s E-Motion program provides a fun and safe opportunity for building emotional literacy, empathy, and regulation skills through tangible dance-movement activities.” We are looking forward to this great learning opportunity to help our learners develop new movement skills and emotional regulation skills.

Fun Lunch Housekeeping

Any orders that have not been picked up on the day of the fun snack, will be kept for 1 day when possible, and then if it is not picked up the next day we will dispose of it. Should any parents wish to make special arrangements please contact the office and we will do our best to accommodate the request. 

Past Updates

Supporting Eric Harvie School Learning

Our EHS School Council and Enhancement Society do an amazing job of fundraising to support great learning opportunities at our school. Their efforts help to provide reduced fees for swimming, field trips, learning residencies and to help in replacing aging technology at the school. It also provides many extra learning resources in the learning commons and in the classrooms that helps our teachers to offer improved learning opportunities.

If your family would like to support these efforts, but prefer the option of doing a one-time donation over taking part in campaigns such as holiday plant sales, monthly fun lunches or other fundraisers, you are able to donate through Education Matters. You are able to receive a tax receipt for any donation above $20, and the funds will be used directly towards new technology, learning commons resources and other learning resources.

 

Please visit https://www.educationmatters.ca/project-matters/eric-harvie-school/ to donate. Thank you in advance for your consideration in supporting learning at Eric Harvie School.

Picking up children early during the day 

We are running the office area with a little less administrative staff this year, and as a result we are hoping to be very efficient! If you need to pick up a child for an appointment or to leave early during the day, please call the office 5-10 minutes in advance of arriving to let the office staff know. It is challenging to coordinate all the different appointments each day, and this small change will allow us to help keep you on time for your appointments too.

Dogs on School and City Property

We greatly appreciate that many families take advantage of the opportunity to walk their children to and from school each day and that this often includes family dogs. Please note that the city of Calgary Bylaw asks that dogs remain on the sidewalk area as they are not allowed on playground or school grounds areas. Here is the link to the City of Calgary website for more information: https://www.calgary.ca/bylaws/... 

Start of Year Forms 

 

Most of the yearly start of the year forms moved to an online format through your MyCBE account. These include the Demographic Verification form that helps ensure we are able to contact you in an emergency, and the annual authorization forms that pertain to photos around the school. Please take a moment to complete these forms in the coming days to ensure we have this information. 

 

We will be sending a couple of paper copy forms home at the start of the year that are not a part of these system wide forms. These will include forms for walking distance learning activities near the school. 

  If you require any assistance with making your MyCBE account, please visit this website: https://www.cbe.ab.ca/support/...
