From Administration

Is Your Child Bringing Lunch to MidSun? 

Each day, our office receives several requests from junior high students who have not brought lunch to school. A nutritious meal is essential for students to stay focused, energized, and ready to learn throughout the day. When a student does not have lunch, a call home will be made to parents or guardians to request a lunch be brought to school. 

Our school participates in the Brown Bagging for Calgary Kids program, which is designed to support students who experience ongoing food insecurity. This program is not meant to serve as an emergency or school pantry for students who occasionally forget their lunch. Students that access our lunch and snack deliveries for students in this program are handled discreetly to maintain their dignity and avoid stigma.

Report Cards ONLINE for PARENTS   

Your Child’s Report Card is now available to parents to view in PowerSchool. This year, report card comments will follow a new format to ensure clarity, conciseness, and consistency when communicating student progress. Comments will now be presented in bullet points, highlighting:

  • 2-3 areas of strength
  • 1-2 areas for growth

This structured approach makes it easier for families to understand their child's progress and next steps in learning. More information regarding this new format can be found HERE

Families can view, download or print online report cards for kindergarten to Grade 12 students on Monday, January 27 until May 30​, 2025 through MyCBE.

What Do School Lunch Fees Cover at MidSun School?

We have received some questions in our main office about whether all parents are required to pay lunch fees and how these fees are used to support lunch activities for students.

At the October 2024 School Council meeting, we shared details about how lunch fees are allocated. These fees help cover the cost of items used during the lunch hour, such as band-aids, ice packs, lunchroom tables, sports equipment, club supplies, and more.

Thank you for your continued support in creating a positive lunchtime experience for all students!

Outstanding Fees

Please check your student’s MyCBE account to ensure all outstanding fees are paid. A Monthly reminder will be sent to families with outstanding balances for field trips and fees.  Partial payments are accepted throughout our school year. 

Athletic Teams

If your student is/was part of a MidSun athletic team (soccer, basketball or wrestling) please make sure your fees are paid. At this time we have a number of unpaid team fees, so please double check your school account.  Here is the link:   https://sis.cbe.ab.ca/public/
