SPB Weekly Feb 2 20226

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Usually, at this time in previous years, you would be reading your child’s report card comments. Due to the teacher strike last October, you will be able to access your child’s report card as of February 24, 2026 this year. In the meantime, do not hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher if you have any questions or concerns about your son/daughter’s learning. While teachers are uploading data into PowerSchool you will be unable to see any progress reports for your child online from January 30 to February 24, 2026.

Volleyball season started this week with a win and loss against Colonel Irvine school. It was great to see many students and parents come out to support our teams. I encourage you to come by during a match day, the atmosphere is electric.

Finally, SPB teachers will be taking part in the annual CBE Language Symposium tomorrow when we will meet with all language teachers in the CBE and receive new input from academics from the University of Calgary and other CBE teachers who will share how we can best teach young learners languages.

We will be welcoming students back to SPB on Monday, February 2, 2026.

Kind regards,  

Sr. Ludwigsen, Principal

Volleyball Student Spectator Reminders

All CBE Middle Schools have set similar expectations for games that promote safety, respect and a positive experience for players, coaches, other spectators and the hosting school. The expectations are as follows:

  • All students (spectators and athletes) must return home or be off school property in between the end of the school day at 2:55pm and game start at 4:00pm. There is no supervision at the school provided and students are not able to remain at school in between.
  • Players who remain at the school must be under the direct supervision of the coach and not wandering in the school. This must be arranged in advance.
  • For all Away games, students must have their personal parent or guardian accompany them to all games. They may not be supervised by someone who is not their parent/guardian.
  • For all home games, students must be under the direct supervision of an adult for the entirety of the games.
  • There are no in and out privileges for spectators. If you leave the building you should not re-enter.
  • All visitors must enter our building through the main doors only. Entrance through an alternative door may trigger security protocols and result in significant consequences for students letting others in the school. This would be a significant security risk for everyone in the building.
  • Student spectators without parental supervision will be directed by the hosting school administration to leave the building immediately.
  • All spectators are expected to cheer and support the players, coaches, referees, etc. in a positive manner.
  • Disrespectful behavior from students or spectators will be addressed by the hosting school administration as well as your home school administration as a follow up. The student and parent code of conduct applies at all times. Spectators may be asked to leave the school depending on the severity of the issue. Parents also may be asked not to return.
  • Parents/guardians who bring younger children are responsible for direct supervision at all times. The rest of the school is closed and off limits. Please ensure children are not in the hallways or playing on the stage or with any school equipment.

Thank you for your attention to these expectations. Students have been informed as well today during announcements. We thank you in advance for your ongoing support and look forward to the best year yet for our athletics teams!
