Dear FEO Eagle Families,

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributed to making our Remembrance Day Assembly such a thoughtful and respectful event. It was truly inspiring to see our students honor the significance of this day with such care and understanding.

With winter weather approaching, please ensure students are dressed appropriately for cold temperatures. If the temperature drops below -20°C (including wind chill), students will remain indoors during the lunch break. On those days, please have your child bring a lunch, as they will not be able to leave campus to purchase food.

As we head into fall break, I wish all of our families a wonderful and restful time together. Classes will resume on Thursday, November 13, 2025.

Thank you for your continued support in helping us create meaningful experiences for our students.

Warm regards,
Dr. Michael Cutler
Principal | F.E. Osborne School

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES | November 27 & 28

School conferences will continue as scheduled on the evening of Thursday, November 27 and on Friday, November 28. Each session will be 10 minutes in length. When booking conferences, please allow adequate time to move (physically or virtually) from one meeting to the next. The Conference Manager will open at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, November 17, and will close at 12:00 p.m. on Monday, November 24.

To book conferences, please log into your MyCBE account and follow these steps:

  • Click on “Book and Manage Meeting Times”
  • Select “Book a Conference”

School conferences provide an important opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations about your child’s learning. Parents/guardians, students, and teachers are able to connect and communicate openly about areas of strength and growth. These discussions help build and sustain respectful relationships that support student success. Prior to your conference, please take time with your child to review PowerSchool for updated grades and Google Classroom for course content and topics, ensuring a focused and informed discussion. If possible, please include your child in the conference as their voice is vital to understanding the next steps in their learning.

After booking, your conference details will appear in your MyCBE account. We recommend adding these to your email calendar to keep track of meeting times and links (if applicable).

Given the recent teacher strike and its impact on assessment timelines, teachers are continuing to update and analyze student data. While they will share available evidence of learning, we ask that families keep in mind that assessment information may still be in progress at this time. The focus of conferences will be on reconnecting, understanding current progress, and planning meaningful next steps to support each student’s continued growth.

We look forward to seeing you and your child at conferences and continuing our shared work in supporting their success.

GOOGLE CLASSROOM | Weekly Updates

Beginning October 6th, teacher's weekly classroom updates will be transitioning to Google Classroom and will be delivered directly to your email inbox.

This change will allow us to provide you with more comprehensive and detailed information about your child's academic progress, including:

  • Specific insights into student work and assignments
  • Enhanced details about classroom activities and learning objectives
  • More thorough updates on your child's academic development

You will continue to receive these communications weekly via email, but they will now originate from Google Classroom, giving us the ability to share richer content and more meaningful updates about your child's educational journey.
