Absent or Leaving Early?

Please email midsun@cbe.ab.ca to let us know if your child will be away, late, or needs to leave early for any reason. 

Home for lunch?

MidSun School is a closed campus and students are not permitted to leave the school grounds without parent consent. If your child lives close enough to the school to go home for lunch please email midsun@cbe.ab.ca that your child will be leaving daily for lunch. Students must check out at the office when they leave. 

Parking and Bus Loop 

As you are getting into your new routine for picking up and dropping off your students at school please remain mindful of traffic signs, speed limits and the many students walking to school. Sharing our space with Fish Creek School means there are twice the parents and students trying to safely navigate parking lots and streets. Reminder: The pull through lane is for our small yellow buses, and Southbound Sunmills Drive and Eastbound Suncastle Drive are bus zones for our big yellow buses so please arrange to meet your students on one of the other side streets around our school. For the safety of our students, parents are asked to use on of the other side streets around our school. We thank you for your cooperation and help to ensure the front of our school is safe for all. 

Physical Education 

If your child(ren) ordered gym strip, we will be distributing them within the first 2 weeks of school.  Please make sure your child(ren) have lace up running shoes for gym class this week. We are looking forward to getting to know your family.
