Casino Thank-You!

Thank you so much to Woodlands School Council for organizing the event on February 22 and 23. Thanks also to the parent volunteers who took on a shift during the casino! Your support truly makes a difference — casino fundraisers are one of the most impactful ways Alberta schools can raise money, and our community benefits in so many meaningful ways. The students and staff at Woodlands are very appreciative of everyone who supported the casino.

Fun Facts About AGLC-Supported Casino Fundraising

  • Schools typically earn between $60,000–$80,000 per casino event, which directly funds learning supports, technology, field trips, residencies, and enrichment opportunities.
  • Every volunteer shift helps unlock these funds — AGLC requires volunteers in every position for the school to qualify for the full casino payout.
  • These funds allow schools like Woodlands to offer programs and resources that would not be possible through regular funding alone.

Report Cards | Available Online February 24

Families will be able to view online student report cards for Kindergarten to Grade 12 on February 24, 2026. This is about one month later than usual. The extended time is due to the labour action time away from school in October. Report cards may be viewed, downloaded, and/or printed. Parents and guardians can sign in to MyCBE to view report cards.

Pink Shirt Day

On Wednesday, Feb. 25, wear a pink shirt to help spread kindness and a sense of belonging!

Winter Play Day

Our school Winter Play Day will be full of fun and activity for students in Grades 1–6 on Thursday, February 26 in the afternoon. Here's what you need to know:

  • Dress for the weather; wear layers
  • Have boots, mitts, and hats
  • Bring a hearty lunch and snack on this day

There will be a hot chocolate station. If you prefer your student not to have hot chocolate, please communicate this to your child's teacher.

Scholastic Book Fair

We're excited to announce that our school will be hosting a Scholastic Book Fair from March 16–20 at Woodlands School in the Learning Commons. The Book Fair empowers our students to choose books they love! If you're available to lend a hand at this upcoming event, please check the dates and times on the school website here.

Alberta Education and Childcare Assurance Survey

Alberta Education and Childcare will once again conduct its annual survey of Grade 4, 7, and 10 students and their parents or guardians. This survey will gather essential information about students' and parents' school experiences, helping to drive continuous improvements in our education system. The survey will remain open until March 6, 2026.

Parents or guardians of students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 should have received an email from CBE School Improvement containing a link to the survey, along with a unique Random-Access Code and detailed instructions. Students in Grades 4, 5, and 6 and their teachers will complete the survey at school. If you have questions or did not receive a code, please do not hesitate to contact the school.
