CUPE 40 Information
CBE is prioritizing in-person learning. All CBE schools and buildings will remain open and classes will continue. However, a strike will have an impact on schools and operations. We are committed to ensuring schools remain a place where students, staff and families feel valued, supported and safe. CUPE Local 40 members are an important part of our school communities. We value the contributions of all employees who support student success, and we respect the bargaining process. We are committed to bargaining in good faith to reach a new collective agreement. All information can be found in the latest CBE story.
Budget and Fees Engagement – We Need Your Voice
All parents are invited to do the Survey on William Reid’s Budget and Fees. Your feedback helps inform our decisions related to next year’s school planning. Learn more.

Staffing Update
Please join us in congratulating Yuka Kosugi for obtaining a lunch supervisor position at Louis Riel School. Yuka will be starting at her new school on March 3, 2025. She has chosen this school as it is closer to home and less of a commute for her. We are currently looking for a replacement.
