From the Principal

It has been said that having a good school culture starts with connections. As a staff, we continue to make this a priority, and it was the topic of our first Coffin Cares Assembly today. Thank you to everyone who attended our Meet the Teacher Evening yesterday. It was great to see everyone and to show off our freshly painted building! We look forward to making this school year the best one yet for your students.

Today at our first Coffin Cares Assembly, I challenged everyone to “Give more to this place than you take from it.” This encompasses not only learning, but how we interact with everyone in our school community. If we come to school each day with this in mind, Dr. Coffin will continue to be the amazing place that it is.

Thank you for trusting us with your child’s education. We look forward to working with you for a successful 25-26 school year.

School Council Meetings

School Council is looking to have at least one parent from each classroom attend meetings this year. Our first School Council meeting is taking place on Tuesday September 10 at 7:00 pm. Please email drcoffinschoolcouncil@gmail.com if you are interested in being your class representative for this month.

Weekly Communication

Communicating with families is a priority for our staff. You can expect a weekly message from the office entitled “This Week at Dr. E.W. Coffin.” We will send this out by email, but you can also head directly to the school website home page to read the message! Also, your student’s teacher will send you a weekly update on Friday highlighting that week’s learning, as well as important upcoming events or announcements.

MyCBE Account

Do you have a MyCBE account? Registering is extremely important as this is how you will pay fees and view your student’s report card. Please visit the following link for more information: https://cbe.ab.ca/support/Pages/MyCBE-PowerSchool-Creating-Account.aspx

Volunteer Clearance

Are you interested in volunteering at our school this year or supporting a class on a field trip? To do so, you must have a current police check on file with the office. The CBE has partnered with Calgary Police to streamline the application process at no cost. To get started, please stop by the office with your driver’s license. Thank you!
