General Health Measures
In all matters of health, CBE takes direction from Alberta Education and Alberta Health Services. Find out how you can reduce the spread and lessen the impact of illness in school communities.
Routine Immunizations
The CBE supports the AHS school-based immunization program.
Attendance Line: 403-777-8470 ext.0
It is important that you call the school if your child is absent or arriving late. Please report all absences to the Attendance Line. For more information, please see our Attendance page.
When a child becomes ill at school, we immediately contact the parent and ask for pick-up. We know that it can be very hard for a parent to simply pick up and leave work. If you have another contact person who could help you out with an emergency, please make sure the office has that information.
Please ensure that you update your demographic and emergency contacts throughout the school year. A simple call to the office will ensure that changes are made.
An absence not reported means time spent by our office staff trying to reach you at one or more of your contact numbers we have on file. Thank you for your cooperation.
Medication
Student Health Emergency Response Protocol Form
This form is to be used when there is a student health issue requiring attention. This includes when there is a request to administer medication.
This form is to be:
- completed if a physical or medical condition may affect the student’s attendance at school
- completed if medication is to be taken at school,
- reviewed and updated annually or sooner if there is a change in the student’s health concern or school registration.
Allergies
We are a nut aware school, and we request that parents and families refrain from bringing foods with nuts or tree nuts in them. This will support all of our students in case of allergies.
Lice
There may be times during the school year when we have cases of head lice.
If your child has head lice, please contact the school and let us know. If your child has been exposed to lice at school we will notify you.
As a precaution, we ask all parents to check their child’s head frequently for a few weeks after any exposure. You can find more information on lice from myhealth.alberta.ca.
