Labour Action Information

On Oct. 6, the Teachers’ Employer Bargaining Association (TEBA) provided formal notice that it will commence a lockout on Oct. 9, 2025, at 1 p.m. This means the Alberta Teachers’ Association (ATA) cannot shift to other forms of labour action and will remain off the job until a settlement is reached.

Classes remain cancelled. Families should not send their children to school.

All contingency plans remain in place until labour action is resolved. Most before and after school care providers continue to run in CBE schools.

We are committed to keeping you informed as the situation evolves. The most up-to-date information will continue to be posted on the labour action page on the CBE website.

School Council Meeting

Meeting was to be held on October 22. Due to the ongoing labour action, it has been postponed, stay tuned for a new date! Reach out to woodlandsschoolcouncilyyc@gmail.com with any questions.

Woodlands School Council Halloween Dance – is still a go!

  • October 23, 6 PM – 8 PM
  • Adults are free, children are $5.00 each. 

Every child must be accompanied by a trusted adult guardian for the duration of the event.

If you haven’t handed in your dance forms yet — no worries! Tickets will also be available at the door this year. We’ll be accepting cash and card payments at the event.

See the Halloween Family Dance post  for more information.

In the event that there is still labour action with Alberta teachers on October 23, this event will still proceed as it is a Woodlands School Council hosted event, rather than a school sponsored event. 

We’re still looking for a few more volunteers to help make this event happen. If you’re available, please sign up here:  Halloween Dance Volunteers Please Sign Up

Healthy Hunger

This year, Woodlands School Council will organize ‘fun lunches” through the Healthy Hunger application.  Please visit www.healthyHunger.ca and click Register Your Student. After your account is created, you will be able to view all up-coming Fun Lunches, place orders and then pay for your orders by credit card. (More information on creating an account: Woodlands Healthy Hunger)

The following lunches are planned so far:

  • October 16- IHOP (this date will be postponed, and the tentative alternate date is November 6). 
  • November 20 – Boston Pizza
  • December 18 – Waffles & Chix

If your student is absent on the day of the Fun Lunch, we will hold the lunch for you to pick up if you contact the school before lunch on that day otherwise the lunch will be donated or discarded.
