From the Principal

In the front foyer display case, we have started a Welcome Board. The goal is to add the word “Welcome” in many of the languages represented at our school. We are so fortunate at Dr. Coffin School to have a diverse population which will create a rich learning environment. It is incredibly important to our staff that all our students and families feel welcome at our school. If we haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet, please find me out front one morning or afternoon, or stop by the office to say hello! I have been made to feel so welcome at Dr. Coffin in my first week. I feel so fortunate to have landed in such a great place! Thank you.

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 for the first few weeks. After that, please 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. Learn more!

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!
