QEHS Band Program
A friendly reminder that the Queen Elizabeth High School Band Parents Association will be hosting a meeting for all band parents on Monday, October 7 at 6:00pm in the Senior Gym. During the meeting, parents will learn about program expectations, important dates for performances and extra-curricular field trips. There will also be a brief presentation from the Band Parents Association. They are looking for new members to help with fundraisers and will be asking people to sign up.
IPP’s
IPP students will bring home the first working copy of their IPP on Friday, October 11. Please review this document with your student
and return the signature page to the homeroom teacher as soon as possible.
School Photo Packages
There are still many high school proof photo packages waiting to be picked up in the main office. If your child had a photo taken on August 27 or 28 for their student ID, they will have a photo package waiting. Photo retakes will be on Friday, October 11.
Attendance
When calling the school and leaving a message to report any type of attendance matters (including late and leave early), we ask that you please spell your child’s last name, say their first name and indicate what grade they are in. Please also indicate the reason for the absence and the duration. Alternately, you can provide this information by emailing the school at queenelizabethjrsr@cbe.ab.ca

Outdoor Ed Fundraiser
Did you know that our outdoor education program spent over 40 days on field trips last year? To offset the cost of bussing for these opportunities, the Grade 7 EOE program is running a coffee fundraiser through Rebel Bean. There will be several “runs” throughout the year. Our first coffee run is for the month of September. You can support our program by ordering your coffee or tea through the following link: https://rebelbeanfundraising.com/?sca_ref=2735575.isot68tH3b. When you check out, specify “knights”. Thanks in advance for your support.
Snack Drive
Miss Preteen Universe Canada, Khaliah M., has organized a Back-to-School Snack Drive for Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids. BB4CK is an amazing local charity that gives lunches to 7500 students in 270 schools every day. You can donate non-perishable, nut-free, individually packaged snacks (such as Goldfish, Made Good products, Bear Paws, Fruit to Go, GoGo Squeez, Ritz, granola bars, etc.). Drop off donations in the box inside the Main Office before Friday, October 11.
