Hello Saddle Ridge School Families, 

The Grade One students did a wonderful job presenting our Friendship Assemblies today. Please take note that there is no school Feb. 15 & 16 due to Teacher Convention and Feb. 19 is Family Day.  We look forward to seeing everyone back on Tuesday, February 20. To keep up to date with all the happenings at Saddle Ridge School please see our Key Dates listed below. 

 Teachers Convention – February 15 and 16   

There will be no school for students on Thursday February 15 and Friday February 16, as all Calgary Board of Education teachers will be participating in Teachers Convention.   

Family Day – February 19   

Monday February 19 is Family Day. All schools are closed this day.  

Buses Running Late 

While the majority of CBE bus routes have a regular driver assigned to the route, our transportation service providers continue to face a bus driver shortage that is impacting many students and schools. You can click here to sign up for emails that will be sent from the bus company when a route is running late.  

Important Message from the City of Calgary  

Keep you and your family safe this winter by staying off community storm ponds.  

Even if the ice looks frozen solid, conditions are still dangerous. Unlike a normal pond, water levels are constantly changing which creates unstable air gaps between the ice and water. Plus, water in these ponds contains sediment and contaminants, which weaken the ice.  

Instead, find a safe City or community outdoor skating rink near you at Calgary by clicking here.  

 Pink Shirt Day- February 28  

Two Nova Scotia high school students inspired Pink Shirt Day by organizing their fellow students to wear pink in support of a Grade 9 boy who was being bullied for wearing a pink shirt. Pink Shirt Day on Feb 28 is a time to encourage Albertans to stand up to bullying when they see it in schools, communities, workplaces, at home and online. Students are encouraged to wear a pink shirt that day.
