Dear FEO Eagle Families
I hope this message finds you well as we head into an exciting stretch of the school year. We are looking forward to welcoming you to our upcoming FEO Open House—a wonderful opportunity for families to connect with our staff, explore classrooms, and celebrate the learning taking place every day. We’re also gearing up for our FEO School Council Winter Dance, which promises to be a fun and memorable event for our students.
As we approach Semester 2, there is always a renewed sense of energy and possibility. We know many students are beginning to think about next steps in their schedules, and information about complimentary course change requests will be shared next week.
Thank you for your continued support and engagement in our school community. Wishing you all a safe and enjoyable weekend!
Warm regards,
Dr. Michael Cutler
Principal, FEO

DIEFENBAKER OPEN HOUSE | January 29 @ 5:30
We are inviting you to this year’s Open House on January 29th from 5:30pm to 7:00pm. There will be an IB specific presentation from 5:00pm- 6:00pm Details for the evening will be shared in the coming weeks.
With the removal of the Diploma exam break, we are unable to offer grade 9 tours this year. To accommodate for this change, our Student Services team along with other key members of our staff will be attending our feeder schools to provide enhanced program information as well as register each grade nine student for their grade ten courses. These junior high/middles school visits will be occurring in January and February.
OPEN HOUSE | Sir Winston Churchill
Who should attend? All grade 9 students and their families who are designated to our school for regular or IB programming and out-of-area students interested in our Digital Pathways program. This event will allow for grade 9 students and their families to ease the transition into high school by seeing the building, conversing with students, teachers and administrators and asking questions about our complementary courses.
DATE: Tuesday, February 10, 2026 | 6:00 - 7:30 PM

Bell Let's Talk Day | January 21, 2026
Bell Let’s Talk Day on January 21st is dedicated to mental health awareness, acceptance and action. The theme of Bell Let’s Talk Day 2026 is taking a moment for mental health. Canadians will be encouraged to prioritize mental health and give mental health the moment it deserves:
- Moments to take care of and be in tune with your own mental health
- Moments to reach out to those around you, caring for their mental health
- Moments to recognize the societal importance of mental health, which can take many forms – from flag raisings, school assemblies, sharing personal stories, to learning and listening
Visit https://letstalk.bell.ca/tools-and-resources/ to download the Bell Let’s Talk toolkit and Conversation Guides.
Take action on mental health in your school every day with these ideas that work.
