Office Closed For Summer/Fall Information

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As the school year ends and we have a chance to reflect on the year that has been we would like to thank our school community for their ongoing support. With your help we have enjoyed a fun, exciting, and engaging year of learning.  One that challenged students to look for solutions to complex problems, think beyond their classrooms and our community, and one that encouraged student leadership, cooperation, and collaboration.

Below you will find some information that will help you plan for the Fall. 

2024-2025 Class Information:  The staff at Banded Peak have been working hard over the past several weeks to design homerooms for the coming school year.  Information on your child’s teacher will be shared via email during the week of August 26^th to August 30^th.  We are pleased to share the following grade configurations for the Fall:

Office Hours:  The office at Banded Peak will be closed from June 28^th to August 26th^th when we will resume regular school hours. 

Summer Contacts:  Families who require information or support over the summer may email spols@rockyview.ab.ca or bandedpeak@rockyview.ab.ca .  Mrs. Jody More will be starting on August 26^th, until that time Mr. Pols will be able to assist with any questions you may have.  These emails will be checked periodically throughout the summer.

Staples School Tools provides you with direct access to the school supplies your child will need – as provided by their teachers – and an easy way to order them and have them delivered.  Next year’s supply list will be available in the coming days on the Staples School Tools Website.  All students from K – 4 at Banded Peak are provided with schools supplies throughout the year. Children will also require a pair of indoor shoes to be kept at the school, a backpack and lunch kit.

Finally, Mr. Pedersen and I would like to express our sincere gratitude to our wonderful school community. We have thoroughly enjoyed working at Banded Peak for the past several years and will miss this wonderful school.  I look forward to seeing many of you on the trails in and around Bragg Creek for years to come.
