Wondering when and how to pay for school fees? School fee information for the 2026-27 school year will be posted on the PowerSchool Parent Portal in late September. All fees are due within 30 days of being posted. NOTE: Additional fees may be added throughout the year - for example, field trips, swimming, skating. If you’re unable to pay your school fees, you can apply to have certain fees waived. The application deadline is Dec. 15, 2026.

For more information, visit the ALH School Fee Schedule on the school website. Alternatively, contact Connie Bay, ALH Business Manager at 780-632-3113.

We love having parents and visitors in our school community! To help keep our students safe and make sure our school day runs smoothly, all visitors must check in at the main office upon arrival.

Whether you are dropping off a lunch, volunteering in a classroom, or picking up your child, please stop by the office to sign in . For the safety of the children, to go past the office, visitors will need to have the Volunteer Form filled out. This can be done here through Permission Click. and is good for the entire school year. Multiple students can be added to one form.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our school a safe, welcoming place for everyone!

Please ensure that the bus lane is kept clear at all times. Parking in front of the school is dedicated for busses only. Thank you for your cooperation.

Is your child riding the bus this year? If yes, download the My Ride, Bus Status and SchoolMessenger apps to stay in the know about your child’s bus stop location, route, pickup time and whether their bus is running on schedule.

We kindly ask for your cooperation and mindfulness when packing your child’s meals.

Did you know you can sync the school calendar to your own calendar? Simply, visit , click on ALH School Calendar ,“Subscribe to Calendar” and follow the instructions. Within seconds, your calendar will contain all A.L.Horton’s important dates including holidays, school-closures days, planned activities and events, and it will remain synced with all the latest updates throughout the school year.
