MADD Canada School Presentation for Grade 8 & 9 Students | Monday February 23, 2026
A guest speaker will be coming to Mountain Park school to share information. The programs are designed to communicate directly with young people on their level and in their language and encourage them to take a closer look at their values and perceptions.
MADD Canada’s School Presentation is a powerful dramatization about the tragic consequences of impaired driving. The video ends with testimonials from real-life victims who share their heartbreaking stories with the audience. MADD Canada’s School Presentation targets students in grades 7 through 12.
If you have questions or concerns about the presentation, please reach out to Mrs. Gaunt at brgaunt@cbe.ab.ca or call the school 403-777-6442.
Report Cards | Available Feb 24
Families will be able to view, download, and print online report cards starting on February 24 through MyCBE. Report Cards will be visible in PowerSchool through May 29th, 2026. After this date, Semester 1 Report Cards will no longer be available for viewing, downloading or printing.
Parents and Guardians can sign in to MyCBE to view student information, including report cards, assignments, grades and comments from your child’s teachers, and attendance information. For the best access to information, log in through the MyCBE portal instead of using the PowerSchool App.
