School News
Elementary Flag Football
The Elementary flag football team is open to all grade 5 and 6 students (both male and female) this year. There will not be tryouts, but rather we will make teams from the kids that show interest, commitment, and sportsmanship.
On Wednesday there was a shift in the fees to make it more accessible for all students. You will need to sign the NEW permission form that states the fee is $89. If you have already paid, you will be refunded to allow for fee adjustment.
If your child has expressed interest in joining our team, please sign the permission form and pay the student fees on powerschool by February 24.
Please visit the link to access the parent letter with full information. The season starts in April, but due to the affiliation with the NFL league, we need to have jerseys ordered by the end of February. Flag Football Parent letter

Grade 9 Immunizations - March 4, 2025
Children who are eligible for immunizations may be immunized in the school setting with parent/guardian consent. Please check your child’s school bag for a package which contains information about the vaccines, along with a consent form for each vaccine. For your child to be immunized in school, consent must be provided to AHS staff verbally or each consent form must be signed and returned to your child’s school by the date indicated on the envelope.
For tips on preparing your child for immunizations, please refer to https://www.immunize.ca/pain-management-kids-and-adolescents
If there is a signed consent from a previous year and your child has an incomplete immunization series, Alberta Health Services will provide those immunizations.
The immunization round date for École Champs Vallée is Tuesday, March 4, 2025
*If your child is not present on the round date they may receive immunizations on other dates throughout the school year.
***If you are new to Alberta OR if your child has been immunized at your doctor’s office or pharmacy, AHS Public Health may not have a record of your child’s immunizations. To ensure your child is up to date with all recommended immunizations refer to the schedule at https://www.alberta.ca/immunization-routine-schedule.aspx
To provide an up to date immunization record or if you have any questions you may contact the nurse assigned to your child’s school at 780-980-5026

Student Absences
To notify the school of an absence or to sign your child out; please complete the ECVS: Online Absence Reporting Form
Vacations
Students are expected to attend school on scheduled school days and take holidays according to the school year calendar. If parents/guardians choose to take their child out of school at times other than school holidays, teachers will not provide work for that time. Any missed work or tests will be made up when the student returns, at the teacher’s discretion.
Relocating or Transferring Schools
Please inform the school office as soon as possible if your family is moving or transferring schools. The office staff can only accept this information from a parent or guardian, not from a student.
Teachers and administrative staff need time to update grades, generate report cards, and prepare other necessary documents for student records to ensure a smooth transition to the new school.
Updated Information
To ensure you are receiving pertinent information from the school please let the office know if you need to update your contact information including your phone numbers and email addresses.
