Clover Bar Junior High

The registration  forms for the 2012-2013 school year can be found under the Parent Info tab at the top. 

Thanks to a group of parent volunteers and the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission we now have just over $19,000 to allocate to the support of the students at Clover Bar Junior High School. We are considering allocating funds to one of or a combination of the following projects:

Sound system for the Gym (estimate above $18,000)

Upgrades to the Library

New Sign for the school (estimate above $10,000)

Computer/technology upgrades

Bench for front of school /courtyard projects

The fundraising group plans to discuss and vote on the above projects at our May 28, 2012 meeting.  We encourage all parents and guardians of Clover Bar Junior High School students to attend the meeting to share your opinions and vote on the allocation of our newly acquired funds on May 28 (immediately following the parent council meeting).

Thank you,

Heather Bashforth

My Child's Learning: A Parent Resource 
  
http://www.learnalberta.ca/content/mychildslearning/

This is an excellent resource that contains information on curriculum/subject content and student assessment.  There are suggestions on how parents can help their children and there is information regarding educational choices that are available for students.  This is a K to Grade12 resource and includes a Q and A section.
(Available in English and French)

In an effort to save paper and reduce costs, we are requesting that our families consider signing up to receive the Knight's News by email.   Your child would not receive a paper copy to bring home.   Of course, the most current newsletter is always available on the website.  To access the most current newsletter, click the link Knights' News.

Re-Imagining our Sherwood Park Schools: Student, Program, and Boundary Planning

As approved by Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) Board of Trustees and identified in our Three Year Education Plan, one of our priorities is a review of school boundaries and programs within Sherwood Park. Given the recent demographic and program population changes in Sherwood Park, it is necessary to review and re-imagine our Sherwood Park schools to determine the best possible use of our facilities and the locations of programs for the maximum benefit of all students.

This project, Re-Imagining our Sherwood Park Schools: Student, Program, and Boundary Planning, will begin in February. We value your input and feedback and look forward to your involvement.

Throughout February and March, parents (through their School Councils), students, and staff at the schools directly affected by possible changes are invited to participate in the first round of conversations. Directly affected schools include:

• Bev Facey Community High
• Brentwood Elementary
• École Campbelltown Elementary
• Clover Bar Junior High
• F.R. Haythorne Junior High
• Glen Allan Elementary
• Lakeland Ridge
• Mills Haven Elementary
• Pine Street Elementary
• Salisbury Composite High
• Sherwood Heights Junior High
• Wes Hosford Elementary
• Westboro Elementary
• Woodbridge Farms Elementary
• Wye Elementary

This first round of conversations will inform upcoming components of the process that will take place in the spring and into the 2012/2013 school year. These later conversations will include opportunities for parents and students from other Sherwood Park and surrounding area schools to participate. The date of the 1st meeting was March 5th.

We encourage you to take this opportunity to participate in these conversations to share your input on student, program, and boundary planning for our Sherwood Park schools. Your involvement throughout this process will help ensure the recommendations put forward will be for the maximum benefit of all students.

Through your involvement, we hope to generate the best possible recommendations

If you have questions regarding Re-Imagining our Sherwood Park Schools, please contact Principal Cathy Allen at 780-467-2295.

Clover Bar Junior High has both students and staff that have severe allergies to peanut based products and scented products and can have life-threatening reactions. 

Please send snacks and foods that are peanut free.

Scented products are not to be brought to the school and all staff and students should consciously limit their personal use of scented body products and hair care products on school days.

Due to the severe potential health threat to members of our school community, the intentional use or spraying of scented products in the building will be dealt with quickly and seriously.

Please read the attached EIPS Scented Products and Scent Sensitivity document.  

Please help our school be a scent free zone!
