Embrace the Joy of Reading!

On Jan. 27, Family Literacy Day reminds us to embrace the joy of reading as a family. Ask your child today what they are excited about reading!​​

CBE STUDENTS ARE SUCCESSFUL

CBE students are successful and this is clearly demonstrated in the Annual Education Results Report (AERR) for 2021-22. The AERR is the CBE’s “report card” on its performance for the previous year. The 2021-22 AERR demonstrates that despite the challenges of the past year, students continue to achieve success in their learning. Trustees are so proud of the accomplishments, dedication and commitment of CBE staff, students, and their families.​​
