Update

Dear families,

We wanted to update you on the timeline of the relocation of four modular units from your school.

The work to separate the modulars from the school has been delayed and is now expected to occur in November. The modular classrooms will be detached from the school and tentatively placed in the field in late November. Relocations of the modulars to Prairie Sky School will take place overnight, so there is no impact on the school day. The area where the modular classrooms are located will be remediated to be safe for students, the school, and the community to use. As this work requires warmer weather to complete, landscape remediation must wait until the spring. Construction fencing will remain in place until all landscape and site restoration work is complete.

We will take measures to ensure the safety of students and community members who use the school site during construction. This includes measures such as keeping the construction area enclosed and working outside school hours when possible. The project team will work closely with school administration to ensure no work is being completed when students may be outdoors or when it impacts the school day.

We will send another update as we near the construction start date. If you have any questions about this work, you may email accommodation@cbe.ab.ca.

Thank you,

Calgary Board of Education

Previous Communication from June 21, 2024

Dear parents/guardians,

We would like to provide an update to you before summer break on the relocation of four modular units from Somerset School. We anticipate that the work to remove the modulars from Somerset School will begin in October. Safety measures will be taken to ensure the safety of students and community members who use the playground or school site while the installation occurs. This includes enclosing the construction area, scheduling work to avoid disrupting learning and operating within specific hours according to municipal bylaws. At this time, we anticipate that all work will be completed before winter break.

If you have any questions about this work, you may email accommodation@cbe.ab.ca.

Thank you,

Calgary Board of Education

Previous Communication from April 17, 2024

Dear students and parents/guardians,

The Board of Trustees has approved relocating four modular units from your school to Prairie Sky School, which urgently needs additional learning spaces.

Calgary Board of Education (CBE) had requested the relocation of these modular units in the 2024-2025 Modular Classroom Program, which was submitted to the provincial government. Relocating modular units from one school to another is a strategy to address the exceptional growth felt across many areas of our city. Relocating our modular units to Prairie Sky School will let many more students attend school close to home.

CBE is beginning site work assessments right away. We anticipate that the modulars will be removed this fall. You will continue to be updated as we receive more information.

Please contact accomodation@cbe.ab.ca if you have any questions about this announcement.

Thank you,

Calgary Board of Education
