Attendance
Did you know...?
- Starting as early as preschool and kindergarten, frequent absences can cause children to fall behind in school.
- Missing 10%, or about 2 days each month, over the course of a school year makes it harder to learn to read and write.
- Students can still fall behind if they miss just one or two days every few weeks.
- Being consistently late to school also leads to poor attendance and gaps in learning.
Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves. Start building this habit young so they learn right away that going to school on time, every day is important. Eventually good attendance will be a skill that will help them succeed in high school and college.
New Indigenous Family Resource Guide
The Indigenous Education Team has created a NEW Indigenous Family Resource Guide to support Indigenous students and families within the CBE to know about and be able to access culturally relevant, holistic community services and supports.
This Indigenous specific guide can work alongside the existing CBE Family Resource Guide. Families can also access 211 Alberta, a 24/7 helpline for an up-to-date online database of support and services.

On Thursday, April 10, the CBE Indigenous Education team invites Grade 9 Indigenous students, their families, and school staff to join the second annual CBE Grade 9 Transitions Mini Round Dance—an evening to honour self-identified Indigenous students who are transitioning from Grade 9 to high school.
