Absence Reporting
As of June 14, 2022, Alberta moved into Stage 3 of its phased plan to ease measures related to COVID-19. As a result, the Calgary Board of Education will not report student and staff absences at this time.
Students and staff may be absent for a number of reasons, including illness, and illness due to COVID-19.
Student Absences
Families are asked to report their child's absence to the school on a daily basis.
Note: Not all legal guardians/independent students contact the school to provide reasons for student absences.

School-Based Staffing
On June 17, we identified 854 jobs that required substitute teachers or casual employees.
- Teaching jobs: 504 of 541 were filled.
- Support Staff jobs: 304 of 313 were filled.
Please note: Substitute teachers and casual employees may be requested for a variety of reasons, including absences due to illness or otherwise, vacancies and extra help.
The fill figures reflect the number of substitute teachers or casual employees who accept jobs. Schools may re-allocate staff within a school if required to meet additional demands.
