Glenbow School Playground Fundraising
Glenbow School Council and Friends of Glenbow Education Society are in the process of raising the funds to build a new, fully inclusive and accessible, state of the art playground and outdoor classroom/learning space at Glenbow School.
Our goal is to raise $500,000 through fundraising, grants and donations by 2025. We are asking for the help of parents of Glenbow to spread the word and help us make this playground a success. If you work for a company or know of a company who would be interested in donating please send me an email at glenbow-schoolcouncil@rvschools.ab.ca. Glenbow School is an amazing community and we are grateful for all your support.

Online School Registration Open
Discovery Trails Online School (formerly RVS Elementary/Middle Online) is now open for registration to all Grade 1 – 9 Rocky View Schools for 2023/24.
Students work from their own homes and are taught through a combination of real-time online video interaction and instruction, online activities/resources, pre-recorded videos and independent work. Discovery Trails Online School (DTO) follows the regular Alberta Education Curriculum and students have access to the same learning support programs that are available to all RVS schools. Opt-in opportunities are also provided throughout the year for in-person activities and field trips.
RVS students can register for Discovery Trails Online School directly in SchoolEngage or visit our registration information. This includes information for families transferring into RVS for our online schools. For more information on schools and programming, please email discoverytrails@rockyview.ab.ca or call the school office at 403-945-4196.
The routine preschool appointment is the last clinic appointment for your child with Public Health before transitioning into the school immunization program. Parents can book an appointment for your child's routine preschool immunizations by calling 811.
Are you interested in being a volunteer reader?
We are looking for reading volunteers at Glenbow School! If you or a family member are interested in helping children to develop a love of reading, please reach out to our Assistant Principal, Mme Sarah, at scaldwell@rockyview.ab.ca. Volunteering to read with students is a great way to connect with our community and get to know our school outside of your child’s classroom.
We are a Nut Aware and Scent Free school. This means we want to ensure that all lunch and snacks do not contain nuts. We have a number of students with life threatening allergies. This includes things like Nutella and Peanut Butter. We also have students and staff with severe allergies to scents. Please do not wear any perfumes or colognes if you are volunteering in the school. Thanks for your understanding.
Please Drive Slowly in the School Zone!
As we get back to school, please ensure you are driving slowly through the school zone around Glenbow. We want to ensure all students get to and from school safely each day!
No Parking or Walking in the Staff Parking Lot
This is a reminder that there is no parking in the staff parking lot before/after school.
We also ask that you do not walk through the parking lot at anytime. It is a busy spot and we do not want anyone getting hurt.
Thanks for you cooperation.
