In November, we look forward to basketball intramurals and having our students Outwit, Outlast, and Outplay each other in Survivor.

Make sure you’ve handed in your work agreement and your September & October timesheets to Mrs. Pearson!

Building Futures

The third year of the Building Futures program is well underway! Our grade ten students are working on their core subjects in their garage classroom, while taking shifts building a house from the ground up! Actually from under the ground up, one of the first steps was to dig the foundation! The construction of the house is coming along nicely, with the second floor walls already up!

**Please note that until the Bellerose modernization and construction are fully complete, we have a significantly reduced number of student parking stalls available.**

Thank you to everyone who attended the mandatory parking information sessions in September.

As student parking passes are at a premium, we have implemented a 'good standing' policy, whereby students must maintain acceptable attendance and adhere to the Bellerose Student Parking Expectations & Agreements. Those who do not will have their parking pass revoked and issued to a student on the wait-list.

STUDENT PARKING is in the WEST LOT ONLY. Student parking is not permitted in the East lot, which is for Staff & Visitor parking only. Parents are also reminded that the East lot (where the Bellerose sign is located) is the staff parking lot and every parking space, other than the ones designated ‘Visitor,’ are allocated to staff members. Please refrain from parking in staff parking stalls.

Parents, please do not drop or pick up students in the school parking lots. We are concerned for the safety of our students and staff.

Students will be able to access final grades through Alberta Education’s system called myPass. Here you will be able to view marks, track graduation progress and order transcripts. Students can sign themselves up at myPass. (If you need to look up your ASN, click here.)

Regular attendance is vital to a student's academic success and is a key factor in a students ability to have a strong connection to all aspects of classroom and school learning. This is particularly important in the fast paced semesters of high school.

If you know that your student will be late or absence from class, we ask that you notify the school with a brief message at br.absences@spschools.org or 780.460.8490

For any absences that are unexcused, an automated phone system contacts the home between 4-9pm when a student has missed a class. If you are unaware of the absence, you are encouraged to speak to your student and contact the school if you require follow up action.

If you or your student change phone number, address, email address, etc., please contact the school at bellerose@spschools.org to update your information.
