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. If you have any questions, please email Sherri at snseddon@cbe.ab.ca.
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 – see link: Extended Absence Form
Weather
With the spring weather finally here, 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.
Late Students
This is a friendly reminder that our doors open for all students at 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.
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.
