Good morning, Raven families,

My apologies for the late update, but there were some technical issues with messenger yesterday. It has been a short, but full week at RTA. Badminton tryouts are underway, and our final group of Grade 9 students returned safely and fortunately were not impacted by Thursday’s snowfall. We wish all our families a wonderful long weekend. We look forward to seeing Raven students showcased at the Canada Wide Science Fair at the University of Calgary next week. 

Next Year Planning:

• As we begin planning for the upcoming school year, we ask that you let us know if your child will not be returning to RTA next year. Having an accurate understanding of our student enrollment helps us organize classes, staffing, and programming to best support all learners.
• If your family is moving or if your child will be attending a different school, please inform the school office by Friday, April 10.
• Thank you for your support in helping us plan effectively for the year ahead.
