Inform| Grade 9 High School Transition 

Grade 9 students are designated to High School based on home addresses. Students currently registered at Simon Fraser School are designated to either John G. Diefenbaker (Evanston) or Sir Winston Churchill (Brentwood/Charleswood). Information pertaining to the High School transfer process can be found on the CBE website. If you and your grade 9 student have alternate plans for grade 10, please email Principal Clark or our student services teacher, Ms. Johnson at lojohnson@cbe.ab.ca so that we can support the transition.
