Hello Falconridge Families,
It was amazing to welcome our Falconridge Families into the school for a Halloween Family Dance this past Thursday. Our Parent Council are led by a dedicated and strong group that created a fun event and atmosphere where we ultimately had around 500 children and their families join us. Parent Council meets on the first Wednesday of each month and we encourage parents to come out and get involved as we are a much more vibrant community together.
Please read on for important information and upcoming dates.
School Photo Retakes
On October 28 we will be having our photo retake day for those students that may have missed the first round of school pictures or for anyone requiring a new picture. Families that need a retake, please mark your calendars for this coming Monday!
Halloween at Falconridge School
As in past years, Falconridge School is inviting students to wear their Halloween costumes or Black and Orange on October 31. This year, students are allowed to wear costumes for the entire day, as opposed to just for the second half of the day. When wearing costumes, all masks and accessories are asked to be kept at home as opposed to being worn on the day.
In the afternoon, there will be a parade of costumes for anyone interested and teachers are crafting lessons to integrate the day into math, science, and more. Please check with your child’s teacher or google classroom for additional details of any planned activities.
Remembrance Day Assembly – Grade 5
Each month at Falconridge School, our grades host an assembly so that we can celebrate learning and build school spirit. In November, our Grade 5 students will be hosting our Remembrance Day Assembly on Thursday, November 7 starting at 10:30 am`. In keeping with the Government of Alberta’s Remembrance Day Act, this somber assembly will honour our veterans and fallen soldiers and is held on the last school day prior to November 11, which is Remembrance Day.

Off-Site Trips
At Falconridge School, our classes are starting to plan and head out on a number of fieldtrips that require parents. Volunteers are often necessary to ensure field trips go ahead as planned. These are enriching learning experiences for all students and we rely on our parents/guardians to be able to offer these to our students! To ensure you are able to volunteer, please ensure you have a valid police check. Please log in to your MyCBE account à Online School Forms and Registration à Volunteer Registration 2024-25 and follow the steps. If you have any questions, please call the school office.
