Come Volunteer With Us:
We welcome volunteers in the classroom, on field trips and with certain tasks at school or at home. Certain activities or field trips would not be possible without the active participation of our volunteers. We will also be looking for volunteer reading partners to help support our efforts to ensure every learner at EHS has a chance to be a confident reader!
As a CBE volunteer, you are placed in a position of trust with students, staff or property. All adult volunteers require a valid security clearance - no exceptions.
Guest speakers or visitors to the school, and parents assisting their own child only are not considered to be volunteers, and do not require a security clearance.
For the 2024-25 school year, the CBE has a solution to have the full cost of the online application covered by a voucher.

Action Required: Complete Online Forms By Sept. 16
Dear Parent / Legal Guardian,
Each year, schools have a variety of forms that parents / legal guardians are required to complete or review and update, some of which are paper and others online. In CBE, the forms in an online format (SchoolEngage) are:
- Demographic Verification - 2024-25 – This form includes your child’s personal information as well as parent / legal guardian contact information.
- Citizenship Information Update - 2024-25 – This form becomes available if you change your child’s citizenship information on the Demographic Verification form.
- Annual Authorization - 2024-25 – 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).

Reminder: School Parking & Pedestrians
As our school grows this year, we are anticipating challenges with parent parking. The parking rules on the streets around EHS have been designated to accommodate future changes to provincial bussing regulations and an increase in the number of buses that will come to Eric Harvie School.
The diagram below shows these designated areas:
RED = Bus Zone - no stopping during the school day (except designated buses)
YELLOW = “Kiss and Drop” zone - no leaving your vehicle unattended, 10 min. Max during drop off and pick up times
GREEN = Parking allowed zones
PURPLE = Please be extremely careful at this intersection and ensure pedestrians are able to cross safely
The traffic and pedestrian safety during drop off and pick up times can be very challenging at Eric Harvie School, much like many other school neighborhoods. As a school community, we are relying on drivers to make good decisions and follow the established traffic rules and controls (Can you identify where the picture in this article was taken?).
Please ensure you are aware of the traffic control signs near the school:
The area in front of the school (Tuscany Drive) is almost exclusively a no stopping zone - basically a large bus zone - during the day.
The area close to the playground on the more major road (Tuscany Way) is designated as a drop off area, where there is no stopping during busy times. This is best for grade 2 students and up that are able to hop out of the car and find their door independently.
Thank you for your support of a safe school environment as we ensure 474 learners can all get to and from school safely each day!
Healthy Hunger Set up:
EHS School Council runs an optional “Fun Lunch & Fun Snack” fundraiser where families can order items each month. One less day of making school lunches!
Healthy Hunger Snack and Lunches will commence in October. To set up your child with a, please visit Healthy Hunger , register a new account, and click on ‘Add Student’ to link your child to your account, and order accordingly. Please reach out to Josie at the school office if you require assistance. jccesario@cbe.ab.ca or 403-817-3532 ext. 0. The lunch schedule will be posted soon.
