Spring Break and PD Day

COVID Reporting

Schools in Parkland School Division are no longer reporting COVID cases. We continue to request that families let us know if a student tests positive for COVID. Thank you for your support.

2021-2022 Alberta Education Assurance Survey

Each year Alberta Education provides a survey to students in grades 4, 7 & 10, parents of those students, and teachers to gather feedback on the quality of education that students are receiving. Our GCMS Grade 7 teachers, students, and all staff will be completing this survey. If you are a Grade 7 parent you will be receiving a random access code to complete the parent survey online. https://public.education.alberta.ca/APOS/ . You can learn more about this survey on the Alberta Education Website. In addition, you can view examples of the parent questionnaire with this link and examples of the student questionnaire with this link

GCSM Parent/Guardian and Student Survey

All parents/guardians as well as all students are invited to complete our GCMS survey. An email was sent to all parents with permission to receive School Messenger emails. This survey has very similar questions to the Alberta Education Assurance survey. It also has questions about next year’s parent-teacher conferences. We value your feedback and appreciate you taking the time to complete this.
