Hello Glenbrook Families! 

As the end of 2024 approaches, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude for each of you. Your dedication and commitment to the success and well-being of our students is paramount to our success. 

Our schools remain important community hubs - places where students can learn, grow, and feel like they belong. A positive impact on the lives of our students and families reinforces the values of understanding, empathy and collaboration that our world needs so deeply right now. 

We wish you a wonderful holiday season and all the best as we welcome 2025!

Cindy & Tracey

Report Cards – January 31 – visible through School Engage 

A reminder that report cards will be visible through your school engage account. Please ensure you look at your child’s report card to view how they are progressing at school. Please print a copy for your records if needed as the school office no longer prints report cards. Contact your child’s teacher for further information. 

Kindergarten is Coming to Town! 

Registering your child for school for the first time is an exciting milestone, and we look forward to welcoming them to one of our amazing CBE schools! 

Starting Jan. 13, 2025, registration for kindergarten and new Grade 1-12 students will open for the 2025-26 school year. 

Is My Child Old Enough to Attend School? 

For children to be eligible to register and attend kindergarten in September 2025, they must turn five years old on or before Dec. 31, 2025. 

Our Kindergarten Registration Guide can help answer many of your questions, such as:

  • Documents to prepare
  • Registration process
  • Transportation services
  • Helpful links 

New to Canada 

As a public school board, we welcome students new to Canada. If your child is not a Canadian citizen, there is a specific registration process your family must follow. Please review our  New to Canada page alongside the Kindergarten Registration Guide to ensure you understand the requirements.
