Alberta Education Assurance Survey

Each year, Alberta Education invites parents and legal guardians of Grades 4–6 students to complete the Alberta Education Assurance Survey. This survey gathers valuable feedback on the quality of education provided by schools and school authorities.

Survey information has already been emailed by CBE School Improvement to eligible families.

Deadline to complete the survey: Friday, March 6, 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Valentine’s Day

As we reach the midpoint of the school year, Valentine’s Day provides an opportunity to focus on friendship, belonging, and kindness.

  • Teachers will connect activities to curriculum and grade-level learning
  • If students choose to bring Valentines, they must be provided for all classmates
  • Please do not send candy, food treats, gifts, or toys

Thank you for helping us keep this day inclusive and low-key.

Winter Olympics

The 2026 Winter Olympics are underway in Milano Cortina, Italy, and we invite our school community to cheer on Team Canada.

The Games officially opened on Friday, February 6, with over 200 Canadian athletes competing across 14 sports. Throughout the Games, we will celebrate the resilience, dedication, and excellence of our athletes.

School Update | School Development Plan (SDP)

Each year, Rosemont School develops a School Development Plan with input from staff, students, and families. The plan is informed by multiple data sources, including:

  • Report cards
  • Provincial Achievement Test results
  • School surveys

The SDP identifies specific areas for growth and improvement and does not represent all of the work taking place in the school.
