Bonjour BP families. 

Un grand merci to all of the grade 9 parents/students who came out yesterday to the High School presentation led by Ms. Doyle. We are in the middle of our grade 9's getting ready to make the transition to high school, and along with this comes much information. We have been working with the teams of our feeder schools (WCHS, CMHS, EMHS, Bowness) to ensure a smooth process for all. If you have a student in grade 9, please be sure to check your designated high school's website for open house and information night presentations. They are coming up soon! 

Outstanding Fees 

Thank you to families for the payment of outstanding fees from activities your child participated in during the last 2023-2024 and 2025 school year so far.  Amounts paid been helpful in keeping financial healthy as a school.  We request your attention to please check if there are any fees owing on your MyCBE Account and make payment. 

Semester 2 Option Classes 

Semester 2 option classes will change on January 28. Students wishing to change options may submit a request form (available in office from February 3). Please note that we may not be able to accommodate all requests due to balancing class sizes and class availability for the specific time block. Option forms are due to the office no later than February 12, and will require a parent/guardian signature. Students are expected to attend their classes as listed on their schedule until a change has been confirmed by the main office.
