Important Dates & Reminders

Message from the Principal

Dear Eugene Coste Families,

As we head into Fall Break, we would like to take a moment to reflect on another wonderful short week of learning, community, and remembrance at Eugene Coste School.

Remembrance Day Ceremony

We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who joined us for our Remembrance Day Ceremony.

It was a meaningful opportunity for students to reflect on the sacrifices and service of those who have helped shape and protect our country.

A special thank you to Veteran Doug Stinson for joining us and sharing in this important event. We are also grateful to the many parents and family members who attended and helped make the ceremony so special.

We would like to recognize our Grade 4 team for their outstanding leadership in planning and delivering the ceremony.

Their thoughtful attention to history, remembrance, and student learning created a respectful and memorable experience for our entire school community.

Drumming Residency

A special thank you to our music teacher for organizing an engaging drumming residency with Chantal Gagnon.

Students had the opportunity to learn through rhythm, movement, and culture while developing their musical skills and appreciation for the arts.

We are excited to share that Chantal will be returning after Fall Break to continue working with our students and complete the residency.

We look forward to seeing the learning continue!

Parent-Teacher Conferences

Parent-Teacher Conference booking opened on November 10.

Families can log in to their MyCBE account to select a conference time.

Conferences are an important part of the learning partnership between home and school, although they are not the only opportunity for communication.

The Calgary Board of Education values ongoing communication with families, and conferences provide an opportunity to:

• Celebrate student successes and achievements.
• Discuss progress toward learning goals.
• Identify areas for continued growth.
• Work together to support each child's academic, social, and emotional development.

We encourage all families to take advantage of this opportunity to connect with their child's teacher and learn more about the learning taking place in the classroom.

We look forward to meeting with you and strengthening our partnership in support of student success.

Thank You to Healthy Hunger Volunteers & School Council

We would like to express our gratitude to our Healthy Hunger volunteers and School Council members for their ongoing commitment to our school community.

Their efforts help make special opportunities possible for our students.

Thank you as well to all families who participate in and support our fundraising initiatives.

Your contributions directly support enriching learning experiences, including:

• Artist residencies
• Cultural programs
• Special learning activities
• Other opportunities that enhance student learning throughout the year

We appreciate your continued generosity, time, and dedication to our school community.

Looking Ahead | Spanish Immersion Week

When students return from Fall Break, we will begin Spanish Immersion Week.

Throughout the week, students will deepen their understanding of the Spanish language and explore the rich cultures and traditions of the Spanish-speaking world through a variety of engaging learning activities.

We look forward to celebrating language, culture, and learning together!

Fall Break Reminder | November 11–15

We wish all our students, families, and staff a safe, restful, and enjoyable Fall Break.

Classes resume Monday, November 16, 2026.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school and beginning another exciting chapter of learning together.

Warm regards,

Carmen
