EHS Terry Fox Run -  Friday, Oct 3


Eric Harvie School has participated in the Terry Fox Run each year since the school's inception.   Cancer has impacted our students, our staff and the entire Eric Harvie Community. Terry Fox has been an inspiration to generations of people including the smallest members of our school.  His legacy lives on in all of us.  Please help us raise much needed funds to put an end to the suffering.   


Eric Harvie School has set a goal to raise $5000 this year. We will be tasking our grade 5 learners with considering a possible “reward” to all students if we are able to meet our fundraising goal.


Please pass on the link to our school website to friends and family to make online donations:

https://schools.terryfox.ca/98425  


We encourage our learners to bring "Toonies for Terry" next week! There will also be a donation jar in the office from October 1 - 10. If you require a receipt, please donate online. 

  


Come be a part of the EHS Terry Fox Run! We would appreciate volunteers to help out with several roles for our annual Terry Fox Run:

-setting up course around field and school yard

-support along the course to keep learners on track and motivated

-support walking or running along the course to supervise learners

-organize parent council provided snack


We ask volunteers to please come to the school from 9:15 am to 10:30 am on Friday, Oct. 3. The run will occur from 9:45 am - 10:15 am for all classes.


Here is the volunteer sign up link: https://forms.office.com/r/PRfHh6Gu98 


We greatly appreciate your time and support!


Action required | Complete Online Forms are NOW DUE

Each year, schools have a variety of forms that parents / legal guardians / independent students are required to complete or review and update, some of which are paper and others online. For families who have not yet completed these annual forms, please submit the Demographic Verification and Annual Authorization forms in SchoolEngage for your child by Monday, Sept. 15. These forms are required every year for Alberta Education to confirm student funding. We recognize certain families have already completed Demographic Verification and Annual Authorization forms for their children for the 2025-26 school year and we thank you for taking time to submit them.

Details of the online forms found in SchoolEngage include:

  • Demographic Verification - 2025-26 – This required form is an Alberta Education requirement as proof of Registration for funding purposes and includes your child’s personal information as well as parent / legal guardian contact information.
  • Citizenship Information Update - 2025-26 – This form becomes available if you change your child’s citizenship information on the Demographic Verification form.
  • Annual Authorization - 2025-26 – Combines the following forms:
    • School District Use of Personal Information - explains how CBE uses personal information in providing education services.
    • Consent for CBE Use of Student Information – provides an option to grant / not grant consent for additional use of student information by school/district and third parties.
    • Consent for Use of Student Information by News Media and Outside Groups (Third Party) - provides an option to grant / not grant consent for additional use of student information by outside groups and third parties

SchoolEngage is one of the applications found in your MyCBE account. This is the same account that you use to pay fees, view academic information, book school conferences, register to volunteer etc.

If you do not have a MyCBE account, on the MyCBE page click on Create a MyCBE Account. For online help, refer to MyCBE - Creating an Account (includes instructions and a video).

To complete these forms:

  1. sign in to your MyCBE account
  2. click on the SchoolEngage icon
  3. select the form
  4. complete or review and update the form
  5. click on Submit to send the form electronically to the school
  6. repeat steps 3-5 for each form




Volunteer Opportunities

Photography Support

This year we will be looking for volunteers at school events and field trips to help take photos to support us documenting our learning and to support the annual yearbook that parents are able to order. 

Volunteers will need to use CBE equipment for taking the photos due to the regulations around storing photos of children at the school. No professional experience is necessary…we often just find that our hands are busy supporting the learners so we often do not have enough photos to capture the action! Volunteers will need to have completed the CBE volunteer process. More information will come out as events and opportunities arise.

Terry Fox Run Volunteers

We will be running our annual Terry Fox Run during the morning on Friday, October 3.

Here is the volunteer sign up link: https://forms.office.com/r/PRfHh6Gu98 

Field trip volunteering opportunities will be coming out as the events occur. Classroom teachers will provide initial information in their weekly email updates.

Please ensure you have contacted the office about having a valid Police clearance on file at the school prior to volunteering. Thank you for your time!
