MTS Capacity Update - Relocatables!

It's official!  We are excited to announce that McKenzie Towne School will be receiving 4 relocatable classrooms, that will arrive in the fall.  These classrooms will be added to the west side of the school.  We do not have details yet about timing in terms of students moving into those classrooms, but look forward to great learning opportunities in these spaces.

Thank you to all the parents who voiced their concerns about our school capacity.  Have a wonderful summer and we look forward to seeing everyone in September!

Reminder - MTSC/MTSPA Meetings

It is hard to believe that the end of the school year is just around the corner and our final meeting of the school year is tomorrow (Thursday) night.  Please consider attending these last meetings of this school year.  We will start off with the MTSC Meeting at 6:30 pm, then a short 5 minute break at 7:40 pm followed by the MTSPA Meeting at 7:45 pm.  Each meeting is about hour and will be held in the school staffroom.  Please view and print the agendas for the MTSC and MTSPA meetings to bring along with you.

Hope to see you all there!

MTSC/MTSPA Meetings this Thursday

Just a quick reminder that this month's meetings of the McKenzie Towne School Council and Parent Association are being held this coming Thursday, June 23rd, beginning at 6:30 pm.  Further details, including the agendas for both meetings will be posted as soon as possible.

Hope to see you there.

Parents stunned as Calgary school board jacks up bus fees, removes family cap

Parent reaction to a massive hike in fees to send children to public school by bus was swift and heated Wednesday.

Trustees with the Calgary Board of Education decided Tuesday to raise fees by 38 per cent for most charter bus users and remove the family maximum cap.

In some cases, this means doubling and even tripling the amount parents will have to pay in September.
