Bulldog Bulletin - 2025/03/03
Posted on
Hello, Meadowbrook families.
We wrapped up February with the Pink Shirt Day Assembly, honouring our Kindness Ambassadors. Two students from each homeroom (40 in total) were nominated by their peers for consistently demonstrating kindness and received certificates of recognition. Congratulations to all our recipients! Throughout Kindness Month, our activities emphasized the power of empathy and kindness in strengthening our school community. Well done, Bulldog leaders!

Alberta Education Survey for Parents
Parents, We Value Your Feedback!
From February to March 21, Alberta Education is conducting its annual Assurance (AEA) Survey to gather input from parents, students, and school staff. This survey helps assess how well students are being prepared for success. Your feedback is essential in evaluating the quality of education your child receives, so we encourage you to complete the survey as soon as possible. All responses remain anonymous.
Parents of students in grades 4, 7, and 10 will receive a Survey package which includes an Introductory Parent Letter, a Language Translations document, and a unique, single-use Random Access Code.
Instructions for accessing the survey online are given with the Random Access Code. Please use your computer, smart phone or tablet. If you prefer a paper copy of the survey, contact the school at 403-948-5656.
Note that responses are only saved when the Submit button is clicked, so the survey must be completed in one sitting.
Show your feedback by March 21. We appreciate your time and input—your voice helps shape the future of education.
