School Conferences are one of many ways we communicate student progress to parents/guardians. It is an excellent opportunity to connect, clarify needed information and to ensure that each student is successful. Please contact our main office if you have any questions.   

Team and Club Photos | March 10 

Team and club photos will be taking place on March 10.  This is a great opportunity to capture and celebrate the hard work, dedication, and team spirit shown throughout the season. Students should listen for announcements regarding their scheduled photo time and ensure they bring any required uniforms or equipment. We look forward to recognizing all our teams and clubs and preserving these special memories for the yearbook and school community.

Scholastic Book Fair 

Get ready! The Scholastic Book Fair is coming our way (YAY!). Choosing their own books empowers students and inspires them on their journey to becoming lifelong readers. AND—as always—every purchase at the Fair benefits our school.    

Here’s what you need to know about the Fair, which will take place from March 16-19 in the Learning Commons. 

Visit the Scholastic Book Fair website to look through the digital flyers https://bookfairs.scholastic.ca/bf/mountainparkschool or watch some book trailers found here https://www2.scholastic.ca/bookfairs/book-trailers/ 

The countdown to more book joy is on... Catch you at the Fair! 

Report Cards | Now Available  

Families are able to view, download, and print online report cards as of 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.
