Oki, Dadánast’áda, Âba Wathtec, Tânisi, Taanishi, Bonjour, Hello Parents and Caregivers, 

Transportation Registration is Now Open 

Families are now able to register for school bus service for the 2025-26 school year using their MyCBE account. 

Families must register by Sunday, June 22 for students to be added to bus routes for the start of the 2025-2026 school year. 

CBE Transportation will continue to accept registrations after the deadline; however, students are added to the closest existing bus stop with available space. Processing times for registrations submitted after the June 22 deadline will be delayed. Confirmed routes are posted in late August. For those who register after the June 22 deadline, it may take until mid-October before those students are able to ride the bus. 

My Transit Ride 2025-26 

Each year, CBE collaborates with CCSD and Calgary Transit to provide a free orientation program that provides an opportunity for new and first-time transit riders to increase their comfort level and ability to ride Calgary Transit safely and efficiently to and from school. 

The orientation includes different stations for families to visit to learn more about route planning, fares, how to ride the bus or C-Train, safety features, rider etiquette and much more. 

Sessions run every half-hour and last approximately 1 hour. 

• Session Dates and TImes 
• Wednesday, Aug. 13 from 5 – 8 p.m. 
• Saturday, Aug. 16 from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. 
• Calgary Transit and CBE Trasnportation staff will be available to answer questions at these sessions.

Summer (Nii pó) Solstice Celebration – Friday, June 20 

Our school will be honouring the Summer Solstice on Friday, June 20. This special day is an opportunity for students to reflect, connect with the land, and take part in Ceremony. Each class will be provided with Bannock, Berry Soup, and tobacco to support this classroom-based ceremony. We look forward to sharing in this thoughtful and meaningful day together as a Piitoayis Family School community.  

Summer is Almost Here! 

As we head into the last few weeks of school, you might be feeling a little tired—and that’s okay! There are still things to finish, goals to reach, and fun to be had. Even when it feels tough, remember the Blackfoot teaching of Aaka’poma, which reminds us to be patient and to keep going, even when things are hard. 

Just like the buffalo who keeps moving through a storm, you can face challenges with strength and courage. These final days are full of important moments—learning something new, helping a classmate, or feeling proud of how far you’ve come. 

So take a breath, support each other, and keep trying your best. You’re almost at the finish line—and you’re doing great! 

Hand to Heart,
