Bus eligible families only are now able to register for school bus service for the 2024-25 school year. Service levels and proposed fees will remain the same as the current school year.
Please note that registration for Lunch Supervision will not open until mid-August.
Apply Today
- Registration is available using only your MyCBE account. Forms are not available.
- Families must register by Sunday, June 16 for students to be added to routes for the start of the next school year.
- We continue to accept registrations after the deadline; however, students are added to the closest existing stop with available space. Processing times could be up to six weeks at the beginning of the school year due to volume.
- Note: Conditional ridership forms will be available after registration closes.
- For more information – see link Register Now for Yellow School Bus Service
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 these videos for more information on how to log in and navigate the portal when you have more than one child attending CBE schools - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN7aNET71a4

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 the Extended Absence Form.
With the spring weather finally, 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.
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 8:00am 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. 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. 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. Please see Parking around Schools Photo Enforcement.
Prepared for the Weather
Please ensure that your children are dressed for the weather. Even if it is not raining or snowing, children will need to wear a jacket or raincoat and rain boots as there are a lot of puddles and mud outside. Also, it would be very helpful if children had some extra clothes in their backpack at this time of year as we do not have extra in the school office.
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 & 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.
