As we welcome the week of April 27–May 1 at Terrace Road School, we are excited for another wonderful week of learning, connection, and community-building. With the warmer spring weather arriving in Calgary, students have been enjoying opportunities to learn, play, and connect both inside and outside the classroom. This week, we are especially looking forward to our school dance on Thursday evening! It promises to be a fun opportunity for families and students to come together and celebrate our amazing school community. Please remember that all students attending the dance must be accompanied and supervised by a family member throughout the event. We look forward to seeing many of our TRS families there!
School Dance
We are so happy to welcome families to our first Dance of the year, our Annual TRS SPRING DANCE! The dance will occur on April 30 with kindergarten to grade 2 attending from 6 until 6:50 and then transitioning out to allow our grades 3-6 to come into the dance from 7 until 8 pm. Please remember that our dances are all chaperoned by parents and family members, so if your child is attending, we ask that you attend as well.
TRS Crocus Hunt
Last year at Terrace Road School, we started a new tradition for one of the first signs of spring in Alberta, which is the appearance of the crocus. We would love to continue that traditional this year- once the snow has most cleared, we invite families to go on walks and snap some beautiful photos of the crocus, which welcomes our beautiful Alberta Spring. We will add these to our Crocus Bulletin Board in our main foyer, now known internally as the Confluence- where the Bow Hallway meets the Elbow Hallway in our school. Crocus photos can be emailed to djbuchanan@cbe.ab.ca.
Food Drive- Gratitude
Thank you so much for the generation of food items lining the hallway outside of the main office! The food will go a long way towards supporting families accessing the Calgary Food Bank on an increasingly frequent basis.

Run Club
Dear families,
We are back for another round of run club. We will start the
Youth Run Club on April 28, 2026. Our club will meet on Tuesday and Thursday
mornings (April 28 – May 14) at
8:05 a.m. We will meet on the compound by the blue ball drop. We will finish in
time for soft entry (approximately 8:35 a.m.).
All students in grades K-6 are invited to join, regardless of fitness level or
experience with running. Students are encouraged to work at their own level.
Walking breaks can be taken when necessary, and students will gradually build
their stamina with each run they do. They will have opportunities to run on the field and develop an understanding of how to run up and down hills. We will sometimes run through the community, practicing what we are learning.
This program is offered at no cost. To help your child be successful, please ensure they arrive prepared on run days. Please ensure they come to school with clothing appropriate for the weather conditions (we will be outside), proper running footwear (sandals, crocs and boots are not permitted), and water to stay hydrated. On wet days, they may wish to have a change of clothes.
Please inform coaches of any health conditions we need to be aware of to keep your child safe while participating in the Youth Run Club.
If your child is nervous about joining Youth Run Club, please reassure them that everyone is welcome and encourage them to give it a try. Participants don’t have to be runners to join or enjoy the games and skills being taught. Everyone can run at their own pace and therefore achieve success.
If your child wants to join the run club, please complete the form below and return it to the coaches at our first meeting on April 28th.
