Alberta Education Survey, Grade 4

Parents or guardians of grade 4, 7, and 10 students should have received an email from School Improvement containing a link to the survey, along with a unique Random-Access Code and detailed instructions.  Please read below for additional information:

Dear Parents/Guardians,

In its ongoing commitment to providing a world-class education for Alberta’s children, Alberta Education will once again conduct its annual survey of grade 4, 7, and 10 students and their parents or guardians. This survey will gather essential information about students’ and parents’ school experiences, helping to drive continuous improvements in our education system. This survey will remain open from February 18, 2025, to March 21, 2025. Grade 4 students at Varsity Acres will complete their survey on March 17, 2025. Parents or guardians of grade 4, 7, and 10 students should have received an email from School Improvement containing a link to the survey, along with a unique Random-Access Code and detailed instructions. We strongly encourage all eligible parents and guardians to participate and share their feedback on their children’s education. Survey participants will be asked about various topics, including:

  • creating welcoming, caring, respectful, and safe learning environments;
  • student learning engagement; and
  • parental involvement in children’s education.

If you require a paper survey or one in another language, such as Ukrainian, Punjabi, Cree, Korean, Denesųłįné, Tagalog, Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, or Urdu, please reach out to the school via email or phone. By completing the survey, you are assisting Alberta Education, CBE, and our school in identifying both areas of strength and areas that need improvement. Please ensure that you complete the survey by March 21, 2025. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

Brooke Reilly

Principal

Save the Date: K-2 Gallery Walk & Celebration of learning! Thursday, May 8, 2025 at 6:30pm

Please join us for a Gallery Walk celebrating our K-2 students' learning about and engagement with the Land Acknowledgement.

In December, grade 3-5 students showcased their musical talents at the Youth Singers of Calgary winter concert. Now it's time for the kindergarten- grade 2 students to share their learning! We look forward to seeing you in May.

Student Clothing

With the warmer weather and the melting snow, we’re noticing that things are getting a little wetter and messier outside. To help keep your child comfortable and dry throughout the day, we kindly ask that you send a change of clothing in their backpack. This will help ensure they have something dry to wear if they get wet while playing or during outdoor activities.

Lost & Found

Varsity parents, can you please check our lost and found table for any missing clothes (mittens, gloves, snow pants, jackets) and water bottles.  Our table is overflowing with unclaimed items
