A heartfelt thank you to the CJP Bike to School Committee and all of the parent volunteers that supported our Bike/Scooter to School event yesterday. The final tally for bikes and scooters driven to school was 187. Way to go CJP!

Transportation Deadline - Apply by June 16 for School bus Transportation

Families are now able to register for school bus service for the 2024-2025 school year. Service levels and proposed fees will remain the same as the current school year.

Registration is available using your MyCBE account. (If you do not already have an account, learn how to create one.)

Families must register by Sunday, June 16 for students to be added to routes for the start of the next school year. We continue to accept registrations after the deadline; however, students are added to the closest existing stop with available space. Processing times could be up to six weeks at the beginning of the school year due to volume.

Fundraising Survey: We've raised over $13,000 this year through all our fundraising campaigns.

Your feedback is valuable to us! 

PATs Volunteer Readers: Direct student support is needed for our grade 6 students during their PAT’s on June 19th & 20th. We're looking for adult volunteers with a CBE security clearance to read the provincial achievement exams to individuals or pairs of students. Sign up using the link below.

Volunteer Opportunities can be found at www.CJPPA.ca/volunteer 

Volunteers must have a valid CBE Security Clearance.

Casino Fundraiser: Save the Date! Our Casino Fundraiser is set for Oct 1st & 2nd at the Deerfoot Inn & Casino! This major event supports our school by funding initiatives like Mobile Escape Residency, the upcoming Robotics Residency, field trip transportation, books, music supplies and more. Your volunteer efforts at this event make a big impact!

Mural Survey: Captain John Palliser School is inviting local artists to submit proposals to create original artwork for outdoor murals on the front of the school. Students were asked to contribute their thoughts and ideas around belonging and community to be used as inspiration for the commissioned artists. We would now like to open up some of these questions to the greater CJP community. https://forms.gle/WqxGD5DWcJ3at2K48

School Council and Parents Association: We are still looking for Event Coordinators and Fundraising Coordinators to join next year's team! If these opportunities interest you please reach out to cjpparentassociation@gmail.com.
