School Notification System, Next Year: Moving?, Spring Fling Family Dance : April 27, 2018
Spotlight on Learning
Please join me in welcoming our new administrative assistant, Jodi McKenna! Jodi brings to the position a wealth of experience, a passion for caring for children, and a strong desire to support her community. For many of our students who know her as Jodi, it is going to be a challenge to address her as Mrs. McKenna!
Friday, May 4th
Full day of school (8:30 - 3:05) Grades K - 7
School Notification System
Our new School Notification system will start to deliver urgent messages like attendance alerts and last-minute cancellations by text message. If you have provided a cell number(s) for this new feature on the form that we sent home in January, a text message will be sent to your cell on April 27, 2018 at 1:00pm. To opt in, you will need to reply by texting "Y" or "Yes".
Next Year: Moving?
Please help us in our planning for next year by informing the office if your child is NOT attending Banff Elementary School for the 2018-19 school year.
