Learning with Chantal Chagnon
This week, RMS students had the wonderful opportunity to work with Chantal Chagnon, a Métis artist, storyteller, singer, and drummer. Students engaged in meaningful learning about Medicine Wheel teachings through story, song, drumming alongside Chantal. We are grateful for the knowledge and gifts she shared with our school community.
Do you need help with applying for CBE Fee Waivers?
We are committed to ensuring that every student can participate fully in all school activities, regardless of financial circumstances. If you are experiencing difficulty paying school fees, fee waivers are available to support you. Central fees include lunch supervision, transportation, and student supplies.
To apply for a central fee waiver, please submit your application through your MyCBE account. For information about eligibility and required documentation, please visit our CBE website.
We will have members of the Fee Waiver team at RMS on the morning of Thursday, February 19 to help parents and guardians apply for central fee waivers. Please connect with Megan Ozegovic at mcozegovic@cbe.ab.ca to book an appointment with the team.

Remember to visit the Roland Michener School website regularly for the most up-to-date information on school events, notices, and important dates including Fun Lunch dates.
Winter Walk Day
On February 4, students and staff will bundle up for a community walk on Winter Walk Day. This special day encourages students, staff, and families to prioritize health and well-being by walking together, embracing the fresh air and the joy of being active outdoors.
Celebrating Valentine’s Day at RMS
We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day at RMS on February 11. Students will be provided opportunities to learn about kindness and friendship through stories, discussions, or activities on Valentine’s Day. Many students enjoy bringing Valentine’s cards for their classmates. We ask that students choosing to bring Valentine’s cards, bring a card for everyone in the class. Students may not bring additional toys, treats, or candies to share in addition to Valentine’s cards. Teachers will share more information about Valentine’s Day activities closer to February 11.
Little Library – Donations Welcome
We continually need new and gently used books for our two Little Libraries. If you have children’s books your family is no longer using, we would be grateful to add them to our collection. Students and families love accessing the Little Library, and your donations help keep it full. Please drop off new and gently used books to the main office.
Be Brave Hockey Game
RMS students in grades 3, 4, 5, and 6 will be attending the Be Brave Hitman hockey game on Tuesday, February 24 from 9:30am – 2:30pm. This annual event brings students together from across Calgary to promote anti-bullying and the importance of kindness, courage, and standing up for one another.
We are looking for parent/guardian volunteers to join us on this field trip. Volunteers will help supervise students on the bus as well as supervise groups of students during the event. If you are available and interested in volunteering, please contact Megan Ozegovic at mcozegovic@cbe.ab.ca.
All volunteers must have current police clearance.
Field trip forms have been sent home with students. These are due back on Monday, February 9.
Report Cards and IPPs
Report Cards and IPPs will be available for families on February 24. Please take time to review your child’s progress, and reach out to your child’s teacher if you have any questions or would like to discuss your child’s learning in more detail. Report Cards must be accessed through your MyCBE account and IPPs will be sent home with students.
A MyCBE account allows parents and guardians to access student information; including report cards, assignments and grades, and attendance. For best access to information, log in to the MyCBE portal directly instead of using the PowerSchool App.
