Enrollment Survey- 2025-26

We are beginning to plan for the 2025-26 school year with Kindergarten enrollments coming in quickly and CBE planning and numbers projections coming to schools in the spring. Please take time to fill out this survey that will help us to better understand real student numbers for next year:

TRS Student Choice Days

February 7 will mark our first of many TRS Student Choice Days. On these days, students will have previously signed up for an "option" being offered by a teacher, and will go with that teacher for 45 minutes. TRS Choice Day groups will be made up of 20ish students from K-6. Some of the choices being offered so far are "art club", "Line Dancing Club", and "Ozobot Club". We look forward to the student excitement and engagement on these days!

Kindergarten Class and Teacher Update

A communication was sent out to kindergarten families only last week that we have an exciting opportunity to create a second Kindergarten class at TRS in a very long time. Because of our increased enrollment, we are able to provide the second class starting on February 3, 2025. Mrs. Wacker will continue to be the teacher for the A.M. class, which is comprised primarily of students that are picked up at 11:20 a.m. each day by a family member/caregiver. These students will continue to attend class as usual, starting at 8:36 and ending at 11:20 Monday to Friday.

The P.M. Kindergarten class runs from 12:00 P.M. until 2:44 P.M. Monday-Thursday and is comprised of students attending Summit Kids. These students will still be dropped off at their regular time with Summit in the morning, or with Summit at 8:30. Summit will then provide programming for the students up until their class starts at 12:00 P.M. Summit will then collect the students again at 2:44 to take them back to Summit until they are picked up by family or caregivers.

On Fridays, both Kindergarten classes will attend at the same time, providing students with the opportunity to connect with friends, and for teachers to co-teach and break out into a variety of spaces within the school. Fridays will run on our usual morning schedule: 8:36-11:20.

We are excited to announce that Ms. Renette Kurz is taking on the role as the teacher in the PM Kindergarten class. Ms. Kurz has been with us a literacy and numeracy support teacher since November, and she has been working extensively with the Kindergarten class and Ms. Wacker.

Staffing Update

This week will be our facility operator Mr. Anthony's last week at Terrace Road as he has accepted a position at Radisson Park School. Mr. Anthony has been with us since October, 2023 and is a friendly, familiar face to all of the students at TRS. We wish Mr. Anthony all the best at his new work site!

Kindergarten Registration

Our kindergarten registration for the 2025-26 school year will begin on January 13th- next Monday! We are excited to begin the enrolment process for next school year. If you have children that are eligible for kindergarten, or if you have neighbours/friends within Montgomery that have kindergarten-aged children, please do let them know of the upcoming date. There is no cut-off for registration, but the sooner we have an idea of numbers in kindergarten, the sooner we are able to make plans the the class(es). The following links will be useful in the process: PDF INFORMATION & the CBE Kindergarten Registration Page

Fees and Waivers

At Terrace Road, we want to ensure that all families have access to education without financial burden. There are central fees applied to you MyCBE account, such as lunch room and student supplies. There are also School Fees that are applied to cover the cost of field trips and activities/in-school experiences. If you need to apply for a fee waiver, please visit this PAGE on the CBE site. If you have any additional questions, please come to the office and Sherisse will be happy to support!

CBE Family Literacy Week

Families across Calgary are invited to join the Calgary Board of Education in celebrating Family Literacy Week from Jan. 26 to Feb. 2, with a focus on environmental learning through the theme “Learn to Be Green, Together.”

The CBE Literacy & Early Learning Team has prepared a variety of information and activities to help families engage in meaningful learning at home and at school. Reading together or doing learning activities at home is crucial to a child’s learning and development.

Here’s how families can participate:

Since 1999, schools, libraries, literacy organizations and other community groups across Canada have taken part in Family Literacy Day which takes place every Jan. 27.
