Hello Briar Hill Families

There is a lot to be grateful for and I am grateful for Spring. Snowy mornings, muddy fields, and sunny afternoons. Here are your current updates:

IPP Signature Pages

  • If your child is on an IPP, please return the signature page if you have not done so. If you have any questions, please reachout to your child's teacher.

Moving Schools for the 2025-26 School Year?

  • If your family is changing schools for the 2025-2026 school year, we ask that you please email the office at BriarHill@cbe.ab.ca to update us with your plans.
  • As a small school, we are potentially able to accommodate families that are beyond our school boundaries. If you know a family that is looking for a intimate learning community, please have them reach out to nadeboer@cbe.ab.ca
