School Hours

The Connections and Opportunity Program begins at 8:15 am and concludes at 2:25 pm. Thursdays this class is dismissed at 2:16pm.

Reporting an Absence

The preferred method to report an absence is to use SchoolZone. Homeroom or half-day attendance is reported twice a day. 

To report an absence:

• Navigate to the date your child will be late or absent (remember, you can only use this feature for the upcoming six days)

• Use the dropdown menu to indicate the reason for their absence

• If your child will be away from school for both the morning and afternoon, be sure to select the reason in both the A.M. and P.M. dropdown menus

• Once you have selected the reason for the absence on the relevant date or dates, click ‘Submit Attendance’ to save your changes

Once you’ve entered your child’s attendance, it will take 15 minutes for your school to be notified.  Starting in 2025-26 if you have entered attendance for the following 6  days, you will be able to update that attendance until the school defined cut-off time has been reached.

If you are unable or have missed the cutoff to report in SchoolZone, please call 780-456-6980 and press 1.

When you call, please give the following information;

• Your child’s name
• Your child’s teacher’s name
• When your child will be absent and when returning to school, if known
• Reason for absence 

If your child is away from school and there is no call to the school confirming your child’s absence, you will be called by an automated call out system. The system is ensuring you are aware that your child is not at the school. 

*When students have an appointment during the school day, parents are required to sign the child in and out of the school.  This is done to ensure student safety.
