In order to get a Boundary Exemption to a school of choice you MUST have your forms in to your designated school BEFORE March 15, 2010. Your designated school Principal signs off on the form and then you take it to the school you would like to attend.

Report a Bully
At Clover Bar School, we take a very serious approach to bullying.
To the point, bullying behaviour is NOT acceptable and will be dealt with!
If you or someone you know has been the victim of a bully, you can use the "Report a Bullying Concern" page to send an email directly to the Principal.
Society of Safe and Caring Schools
Win Ferguson School, in Fort Saskatchewan, is hosting Karen Hobbs from the Society of Safe and Caring Schools and Communities. She will be using a multimedia format to introduce practical strategies and resources to assist in preventing and responding to cyberbullying, a 24/7 hidden form of bullying. We'd like to make this opportunity available to as many people as possible, so please share this information with your school community via newsletter and website. I have also sent a poster to your school via EIPS courier. We would appreciate if you could display that for us, as well.
If you have any questions please call Berni @ 780 998-1441.
