Update

Dear families,
We wanted to update you on the timeline of the relocation of four modular units from your school.

The timeline we initially communicated to you this spring has been slightly delayed. We previously estimated that the modular relocation would be complete by the end of September, but we now expect the project to be completed by early October.

The modular separation from the school and relocation to their new location was completed this week. Building and landscape restoration work will continue at the school site until early October, when all equipment and construction fencing will be removed, and the site will be reopened. The modular units from your school have been moved to Sir Winston Churchill High School, and cleanup will begin soon. Once complete, the area where the modular classrooms are located will be covered with pavement, which will be safe for students, the school, and the community to use.

As school is back in session, we will continue to take measures to ensure the safety of students and community members who use the school site during construction. This includes measures such as keeping the construction area enclosed and working outside school hours when possible. Crews are working closely with school administration to ensure no work is being completed when students may be outdoors or when it impacts the school day.

We will send another update as we near the end of construction. If you have any questions about this work, you may email accommodation@cbe.ab.ca.

Thank you,

Calgary Board of Education

Previous Communication from June 21, 2024

Dear parents/guardians,

We would like to provide you with an update before summer break on the relocation of four modular units from Riverbend School. We anticipate that the work to remove the modulars from Riverbend School will begin this summer and be completed by the end of September. Safety measures will be taken to ensure the safety of students and community members who use the playground or school site while the installation occurs. This includes enclosing the construction area, scheduling work to avoid disrupting learning and operating within specific hours according to municipal bylaws.

If you have any questions about this work, you may email accommodation@cbe.ab.ca. 

Thank you,

Calgary Board of Education

Previous Communication from April 17, 2024

Dear parents/guardians,

The Government of Alberta has approved relocating four modular units from your school to Sir Winston Churchill High School, which urgently needs additional learning spaces.

CBE had requested the relocation of these modular units in the 2024-2025 Modular Classroom Program, which was submitted to the provincial government. Relocating modular units from one school to another is a strategy to address the exceptional growth felt across many areas of our city. Relocating our modular units to Sir Winston Churchill High School will enable many more students in Calgary’s northwest to attend high school close to home.

Design work has begun, and we anticipate the modulars will be removed this summer. You will continue to be updated as we receive more information.

Please contact accomodation@cbe.ab.ca if you have any questions about this announcement.

Thank you,

Calgary Board of Education
