Taradale School Talk  

Principal Update 

December 17, 2024 

Dear Taradale Families: 

This year is flying by with just one more week of school before Winter Break!
We had a great presentation to our Grade 4 students by Calgary Police Service on digital citizenship last week.  We are ending the month of December with 2 fun Spirit Days. Today was Red and Green Day and Thursday is Comfy Cozy Day.  

Bridge Club 

The Bridge Club has been running a great afterschool program for us. There is no Bridge Club this week and will resume on January 8. 

Student-Led Conferences 

It was great to see our Taradale Families come to celebrate our students during Student Led Conferences.  

Communication 

When you have specific questions about your child, your first point of contact is always the classroom teacher. Please email the teacher to book a time to talk. Teachers are not available to talk during school hours as they are teaching. 

Cold Weather 
We continue to go outside for fresh air and activity until the temperature is –20. Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather.  When the weather is cold with a temperature of -20 or colder; we will welcome students into the building. 

Instagram Account 

We have an official Taradale School Instagram account. Please follow @TaradaleSchool for important school updates.
