Hello FEO Eagle Families,
Happy “Almost Report Card Day!” Teachers have been working hard to finish their report card marks. This past week we had two incredible events at FEO. This past Wednesday was the FEO Concert Band performance which was outstanding! Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the Music program, we had an incredible turnout! Then on Thursday night, FEO hosted the French Immersion Open House. The poutine was almost as good as the amazing families that came for the tour.
Report Cards
On January 30th report cards will be made available on myCBE. Please note that all Report Cards will be digital through myCBE; paper copies of the Report Card will not be made available.

CBE 50th Anniversary for French Immersion
This spring will be an exciting time for French Immersion across the CBE, as it will be the 50th anniversary of French Immersion programming in the Calgary Board of Education!

Talking With Your Teen About Vaping
Keeping going on the theme from last week we know it can be tough to have these conversations with your kids. So, we curated some videos you could watch with your child.
-
A TED Talk by a 11 year old student on the topic of vaping
-
Video with a link to some resources and a funny scene of a Dad trying to communicate with his daughter.
-
Video of signs you might see from your child that could indicate that they are vaping.
Next week we will have some resources on how you can help your child quit if they are already vaping. Hope you are enjoying and finding our weekly Vaping Prevention segment of the Weekly Update valuable.
