Amisk School will be a CAN TAB collecting site for the Ronald McDonald House. We are helping a charity realize its goals.

We all care about our kids and their health. For some students, exposure to allergens, such as nuts can be very discomforting and even life threatening, therefore we ask for your assistance in recognizing our school as a “nut aware” school. Please do not send lunch or snack items to school with your child that contain nuts or nut products.

Cub coupons are awarded to students who show exemplary behaviour or extra effort in class or in our school. Recipients receive a coupon outlining their special achievement, visit Mrs. West’s office to choose a prize, and are recognized at our monthly Basket of Greatness assemblies. Check out each month's Cub Coupon recipients on display at the entrances to the school.

Students in grades 1-3 visit our school library once a week.  They also have the opportunity to visit the Amisk downtown library once a month.  Students can check out 2 books from our library and need to return them by their next library date.  The school will be implementing a cost recovery fee for any library books not returned that are deemed lost.

From time to time many of our school events such as the Christmas concert, Basket of Greatness, Winter and Summer Games or the year End Awards pictures are published, displayed in the school, newsletter, newspaper, website, or school social media accounts. If you have any concerns with having your child photographed or interviewed and/or possibly published please contact the school at 780-856-3771.

Large Items on School Buses

Large band instruments and sports equipment such as skate boards, hockey sticks, hockey bags, curling brooms, skis, etc. are not allowed on the bus. Small band instruments and skates in a properly secured bag (i.e. not plastic) with skate guards will be transported on school buses. Students must be able to hold all of their school items on their lap without the items projecting out of their seating area into the aisle or into another student’s space. Items no larger than 13” x 13” x 23” can be carried on the school busses. This applies to regular bus runs. 

Proper Winter Attire

Regardless of the temperature, students should always wear or carry with them appropriate winter attire when riding the school bus. 

Bus Driver Notification

When the weather is cold it is very important that you let your bus driver know that you will or will not be on the bus so they can adjust their stop times so students are not waiting longer than necessary at their bus stop. 

Inclement Weather

If the bus is not running due to inclement weather your bus driver will call you. If you have already left for work before your children get on the bus you can check the BTPS website here. We try to update the website as soon as we are notified by the bus driver.

The inclement weather administrative procedure can be found here. 

Buses will not run when the temperature is -45 oC with or without the wind-chill. If the bus does not run in the morning they will not run in the afternoon; therefore, if you transport your child(ren) yourself to school you will be responsible to bring them home as well.
