More than 250 schools have launched their newly redesigned websites. The new websites are designed to be more beautiful and functional, and to create deeper connections between schools and their communities.
Alberta Education Assurance Survey
Each year Alberta Education surveys students, their parents, and all teachers on behalf of schools and school authorities to gather important information on what is working well and where there is room for improvement. The survey asks students in Grades 4, 7 and 10 and their parents about their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in school. This year’s survey is online and is open through March 2024.
Next Year Planning
In planning for enrolment numbers for next year, please let us know if your child is NOT planning to return to Branton (except Grade 9’s going to high school) for the 2024-25 school year. Please email bcrustad@cbe.ab.ca Thank you.
School Planning Survey
We would like parents input as we start to plan the 2024-25 school year.
The purpose of this survey is to gather feedback from families on school planning, which includes the school development plan, school budget, and school fees. When students, staff and families work closely together, students experience greater success.
Please access the survey at the following link between February 23 and March 8: Branton School Planning Survey 2024-25
Minecraft
What is Minecraft Education?
Minecraft Education is an open world game-based learning tool that promotes creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving in an immersive environment where the only limit is your
imagination. Minecraft Education differs from the regular video game version as it is aimed for use in the classroom and contains features such as classroom mode and assessment tools that enable powerful learning experiences.
