Dear Students and Parents/Guardians,

To balance enrolment between schools in east and northeast Calgary, the Calgary Board of Education (CBE) will be implementing a grade configuration change to the French Immersion program at Mayland Heights and Bob Edwards Schools.

These changes will help balance system enrolment and allow more students to attend school closer to home.

Effective for the 2024-25 school year and beyond, the following changes will be implemented:

• Mayland Heights School will change from a kindergarten to Grade 5 to a kindergarten to Grade 6 configuration for the Early French Immersion program starting in the 2024-25 school year.
• The Grade 6 Intensive French program will be offered at Mayland Heights starting in the 2024-25 school year.  
• Bob Edwards School will offer a Grade 7 to 9 Early and Late French Immersion programs starting in the 2024-25 school year.

These changes mean that current Grade 5 Early French Immersion program students will remain at Mayland Heights School next school year.

What is happening to the regular program at Mayland Heights and Bob Edwards Schools?

There are no changes to the regular program grade configurations at Mayland Heights and Bob Edwards Schools.

How do I register for school next year?

Kindergarten registrations for the 2024-25 school year begin in January 2024. For more information on how to register for your designated French Immersion school, please visit our website.

How will students get to school?

Students are eligible for transportation to their designated school if they live beyond the walk zone. Visit Busing & Transportation for more information, or to register for transportation, visit MyCBE. 

What if I have more questions?

If you still have questions or require additional information, please contact the Area 4 office at Area4@cbe.ab.ca or 403-777-6233 (extension 0).
