Welcome Back!

Posted on

Welcome back students and families for the 2025-26 school year. The staff, Mr. Dupre and I are excited about our upcoming school year and look forward to working together to stretch, support and inspire our students.

A new school year brings change, and this year is no exception. We are happy to welcome back Mrs. Campbell (music specialist & 5/6 teacher) from her leave as well as Mrs. Summerscales who has changed grades and has joined our 7&8 team. Additionally, new to our learning community, we welcome Mrs. Stieger to our grade 5 & 6 team. We are excited to have these exceptional educators on our Banded Peak team.

Over the next week, our team is back preparing for the new school year, and we look forward to welcoming students after the long weekend. Please follow the staggered entry schedule below:

September 2nd: ½ Kindergarten (A-L), Grade 1, Grade 3, Grade 5, Grade 7

September 3rd: ½ Kindergarten (M-Z), Grade 2, Grade 4, Grade 6, Grade 8

September 4th: Whole School and return to regular schedule.

Later this week, you will receive an email from the school indicating your child’s class placement as well as a welcome phone call from their new teacher. Each placement was carefully considered by last year’s teachers and administration with the goal of creating optimal learning environments that are both academically enriching and socially balanced.

Should you have any questions about any of these items, please do not hesitate to reach out to either myself at jmoore@rockyview.ab.ca or Richard Dupre at rdupre@rockyview.ab.ca .

We look forward to a year of growth, learning, and shared success!
