Update

Dear families,

We are happy to update you that the Government of Alberta has approved three modular classrooms and one modular washroom for Prairie Sky School in addition to the four previously announced modular classrooms. In total, these seven modulars will add 170 additional student spaces to your school.

This change has impacted the timeline for the installation of the modulars. We initially estimated that the modular installation would begin this September. Construction will now start in November, and we expect the modulars to be ready for students by the end of February.

Measures will be taken to ensure the safety of students and community members who use the playground or school site during construction. This includes enclosing the construction area, scheduling work to avoid disrupting learning and operating within specific hours according to municipal bylaws.

You will continue to be updated about construction. As we near the end of construction, the school will follow the call-back process to offer families an opportunity to return to Prairie Sky School based on the priority lists. The call-back process occurs at various points in the school year when space and resources are available. 

If you have any questions about this work, you may email accommodation@cbe.ab.ca.

Thank you,

Calgary Board of Education

Previous Communication from June 21, 2024

Dear parents/guardians,

We are happy to inform you that the Board of Trustees has approved the relocation of four modular units from a CBE school to Prairie Sky School. These four modulars will add 100 additional student learning spaces to your school.

CBE requested these modular units in the 2024-25 Modular Classroom Program, which was submitted to the provincial government in November 2023.

We anticipate that the installation of the modulars will begin at the end of September. Safety measures will be taken to ensure the safety of students and community members who use the playground or school site while the installation occurs. This includes enclosing the construction area, scheduling work to avoid disrupting learning and operating within specific hours according to municipal bylaws. We project that the modulars will be ready when students return from winter break.

You will continue to be updated about construction. As we near winter break, the school will follow the call-back process to offer families, in order of the priority lists, an opportunity to return to Prairie Sky School. The call-back process occurs at various points in the school year when space and resources are available. 

If you have any questions about this work, you may email accommodation@cbe.ab.ca.

Thank you,

Calgary Board of Education
