Fish Creek School Updates
A reminder that there is no school on Thursday and Friday, February 12 & 13 due to Teachers’ Convention and Monday, February 16 due to Family Day. We look forward to welcoming all of our students back on Tuesday, February 17, 2026.
A reminder that dogs are not permitted on school grounds except where expressly approved under AR6004 (e.g., service animals or authorized educational purposes). Additionally, the City of Calgary Responsible Pet Ownership Bylaw prohibits dogs on school property, including playgrounds and fields. We ask that dogs are not brought anywhere onto school property.
We continue to have accidents, incidents and near misses around the school, especially during pickup and drop off. We always ask that, you choose safety over convenience for the sake of all students, families and staff. We are currently investigating traffic calming measures, to keep everyone safe. Additionally, there may be education and enforcement from the Calgary Police Service and the Calgary Parking Authority. Should they choose enforcement, the school has no ability to have tickets cancelled.
Please remember that all digital devices, including cell phones and smart watches, should be away for the day. These devices should not be used for texting or communicating during school hours, including at lunch and recess. Students will be asked to put the devices in their backpacks. Please read the CBE Away for the Day FAQ, which was created at the direction of a Ministerial Order.
We would appreciate if your child were sent with the necessary cutlery for their lunch. The school has been providing plastic cutlery, which was purchased for emergency situations and not on an ongoing basis.
Fish Creek Council/Parent Association Update
Our next fun lunch is Opa on Thursday, February 19. Don’t forget to place your order before the cut off on Saturday, February 14. To place your child's order please visit the Healthy Hunger website at https://healthyhunger.ca. If you miss the deadline, please do not call the restaurant and ask to add an order. It is very confusing when we end up with extra lunches. If your child will be absent on a fun lunch day, you can cancel their lunch on the Healthy Hunger website before the cut off date (the Saturday before the lunch.) Refunds are not available through the school at any time or via Healthy Hunger after the cut off date. If your child is unexpectedly absent on the Fun Lunch day, please contact the office to arrange for pickup in the office from 12:00 - 1:00 pm or to have it sent home with a sibling. Any lunches left at the school after 1:00 pm will be forfeited. Please contact fishcreekschoolcouncil@gmail.com with any fun lunch questions. Thank you!
