Accessing Online Report Cards through CBE

Families will be able to view online student report cards for kindergarten to Grade 12 from June 26 – July 26, 2024. Report cards for the 2023-24 school year may be viewed, downloaded and/or printed. 

Parents and Guardians can sign in to MyCBE​ to view student information, including report cards, comments from your child’s teacher, assignments and grades, and attendance information. For best access to information, log in to the MyCBE​ portal instead of using the PowerSchool App. 

Need Help?

Check out our videos for more information on how to log in and navigate the portal when you have more than one child attending CBE schools.

Attendance

For absences or lates, please ensure that you phone the absence line at 403-817-3504, ext. 1.  This is our preferred method of notifying us as we cannot check emails at all times.

For extended absences more than 5 days, please also fill out this form.

With the nicer weather, students are walking or riding their bikes to school.  If your child takes the bus, we would ask that you let the office know so that we are not holding up the bus for attendance. 

Also, if your child is in daycare or afterschool care, please let them know if your child is absent or has other plans as they also do attendance for their programs. Children Come First is our afterschool care and their phone number is (587) 228-4797.  PLEASE NOTE:  We would appreciate if you would contact them directly so that daycare is not looking for your child afterschool.

Fees

If you have outstanding school fees, you may do the following:

·  Preferred method:  Pay Online with MyCBE - to create a new account, go to cbe.ab.ca/mycbe

  • Pay at the school office using your debit or credit card.  If you need to make a payment at your school, please call ahead to make arrangements.  Please do NOT send cash as it can get lost in the shuffle.
  • If you cannot afford the fees, you may be eligible to have them waived.  Please note that Fieldtrip Fees are not waiver eligible. Waivers for 2022-2023 fees are due by no later than end of June, 2024. 

Lost and Found

Be sure to check the lost and found tables at the entry because soon everything will be given away to the Goodwill Store.

Drop off and Pick up of Students

Just a reminder that doors are open for all students no earlier than 7:45 AM and instructional/classroom time starts at 8:00 AM.  Efforts made to have students at school before 8:00 AM with enough time to get in their classroom for an 8:00 AM start time are greatly appreciated.

For afterschool pickups, students must be picked up on time each day at dismissal at 2:30 PM and 12:00 PM on Fridays.  We understand that occasionally other arrangements need to be made.  We would ask that all arrangements are called in to the office by 2:00 PM on Monday - Thursday and 11:00 AM on Fridays.  Please understand that it is very difficult for the office staff to have this all arranged when we only receive phone calls 5 or 10 minutes before the bell. Just a friendly reminder that there is no parking in the staff parking lot for drop offs and pick ups of students as this is very unsafe.

Volunteering at Kenneth Taylor School

We welcome volunteers in the classroom, on field trips and with certain tasks at school or at home. Please note we will not be processing any applications for the month of June and September.

Moving?

We are already in the process of planning for September 2024.  If you are planning on moving, please let the office know.  Students who are currently attending Kenneth D Taylor School may submit a 

Transfer Request: requesting a transfer to the new designated school, due to an address change.
