Dear Students, Parents, Guardians and Caregivers,
Hello from Canmore. Happy Diwali. I am at the annual Vic Lew Music Festival with Ms. Riben, Mr. Webster, Mr. Toy and Ms. Collinge and the wonderful students in the Concert Band. The weather has been grand and the students are learning lots, having fun and bonding. It is playoff time in athletics with the football and volleyball teams vying to move on to the city finals. Last comments are being added to report cards. Lots to celebrate this week.

Student Parking
Effective Monday November 4, City Bylaw will be enforcing the student parking lot. Vehicles without a current school issued parking pass will be ticketed. In addition, there have been increasing instances of poor driving and students skipping classes in their vehicles and loitering in the student parking lot during class time. This is not allowed. If you have a prep and wish to be in your vehicle during class time you must leave the parking lot. Finally vehicles with illegal blacked out windows will not be allowed to park on school property.

Alberta window tint laws overview:
- Windshield: No tint allowed.
- Front side windows: No tint allowed.
- Backside windows: Any darkness can be used.
- Rear window: Any darkness can be used only if vehicle has both left and right side rearview mirrors.
Vehicles with illegal tinting will not be allowed on school property at anytime.
