Dear Brentwood Families

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year!  Our staff looks forward to welcoming new and families faces to our Traditional Learning Centre (TLC) program.  We have approximately 825 Kindergarten to grade 6 students registered for September.

Here is some important information for you:

  • Our school office re-opens on Monday, August 25 at 9 am.  Our secretaries will be available to assist families by telephone.  If an in-person meeting is required, please call to make an appointment.
  • You will receive an introductory email from your child’s teacher on Thursday, August 28.  The email will include instructions for the first day of school, including where to meet the teacher, and other important details about the first week of classes.
  • The first day of school is Tuesday, September 2.  Kindergarten students only will attend on a staggered entry based on surnames; details are in the attachment.  This information was previously shared in June.
  • School begins at 9:15 am Monday to Friday.  We begin outside supervision and open our doors beginning at 9:00 am.  School ends at 3:48 pm Monday to Thursday and at 1:18 pm on Fridays. 
  • As a large school, we have well-established processes to manage and supervise students at arrival and departure, lunch times, and at recess.  Teachers will share more information with you.  Please note that during the first week of school, our entire staff assists students with arrival and departure, including for charter transportation (yellow school buses).
  • We recognize the uncertainty of potential ATA labour action may be challenging for families.  The Calgary Board of Education is committed to keeping families informed, and new information will be shared in due course.

During the school year, I send all families regular ‘The Week Ahead’ messages by email.  They are also posted on our website.  Please review these messages for important reminders and updates.  ‘The Week Ahead’ message is in addition to communication from teachers and our parent council.

Please do not hesitate to contact our office should you have any questions before the first day of school.  We look forward to an exciting year of learning ahead.

Sincerely,

Rudy J. Stein
