Dear FEO Eagle Families,
As we head into the lead‑up to Parent‑Teacher Conferences, our teachers are truly looking forward to connecting with you. These conversations are such an important opportunity to celebrate student growth and work together on next steps, and our staff is excited to meet with you!.
We also have an incredible week ahead! On Tuesday, our entire school will be attending the Be Brave Calgary Hitmen hockey game—an unforgettable experience for our students at the Saddledome! Each student will receive a Pink Shirt at the game, and we encourage everyone to wear their shirts on Pink Shirt Day, February 25, as we stand together against bullying.
A reminder to families living in Sage Hill, Kincora, or Montgomery to please complete the school designation form if you haven’t already done so. Your timely response helps greatly with our planning.
Thank you for your ongoing support. It’s shaping up to be a wonderful week—and of course, Go Canada Go!
Warm regards,
Dr. Michael Cutler
Principal, F.E. Osborne School

CELEBRATE PINK SHIRT DAY | February 25, 2026
Pink Shirt Day originated in Halifax, Nova Scotia back in 2008 with two high school aged students that saw a need to be kind while another student was not being treated with kindness and respect. That one act of compassion quickly spread beyond the school. In 2008, British Columbia’s provincial government proclaimed a provincial Anti-Bullying Day in February, and over time the idea of wearing pink to stand against bullying spread throughout Canada and then internationally. Today, Pink Shirt Day is observed annually in Canada on the last Wednesday of February.
Pink Shirt Day is now a national and global movement that encourages people of all ages to:
- Wear pink as a visible symbol of support for kindness, inclusion, and respect for others.
- Raise awareness and start conversations about why bullying is harmful and what we can do to prevent it.
- Raise funds for programs that help children and youth build healthy self-esteem, resilience, and safe environments.
The Calgary Board of Education recognizes Pink Shirt Day across all schools and offers professional learning and classroom resources that support a strength-based approach to well-being, emphasizing schoolwide and classroom supports for students. As an organization, through Pink Shirt Day we honour the grassroots act of kindness and reaffirm our shared commitment to reducing bullying and creating welcoming, caring safe and respectful spaces for everyone.
CALGARY TRANSIT | Student Expectations & Safety
There are different Calgary Transit fares and passes options and purchasing locations. Students must carry proof of fare every time they use Calgary Transit.
Calgary Transit is committed to safety and has an extensive network of security features including cameras on buses and help phones at LRT stations and platforms for assistance. There are cameras at all CTrain stations that are monitored by security staff that are in direct contact with peace officers and can dispatch them quickly or call other emergency responders. Transit peace officers are also available to quickly respond to any incidents.
Calgary Transit provides riders with three options to report safety or security concerns. In addition to the phone number (403-262-1000) and the help buttons/phones at bus and train stations, riders can now send a text to 74100 for assistance from transit staff.

SAGE HILL, KINCORA & MONTGOMERY | School Designation for 2026/27
As the City of Calgary continues to grow, the Calgary Board of Education (CBE) continues to prioritize keeping students closer to home, provide strong, stable learning environments that keep peers together, while working to alleviate enrolment pressures.
Sage Hill & Kincora Area
A new middle school is expected to open in Evanston, in September 2026, creating room for additional students at Simon Fraser School. This change is also expected to relieve pressure on other northwest Calgary public schools. This means, starting with the 2026-27 school year, students in Grades 6 to 9 living in Sage Hill or Kincora will be designated to Simon Fraser School.
Montgomery Area
Beginning with the 2026-27 school year, Regular program students in Grades 7 to 9 living in Montgomery will be designated to Thomas B. Riley School. This change will bring together students from the Montgomery community with their peers into the same high school and balance enrolment amongst northwest Calgary public schools.
Grade 7 and 8 students currently attending F.E. Osborne can choose to stay at FEO until finishing grade 9 or transfer to their new designated school (T.B. Riley or Simon Fraser) for the 2026/27 school. Please use the form below to confirm your decision.
School Designations decisions are DUE FEBRUARY 27, 2026
