The Simon Fraser School Improvement Results Report 2022-23 and the School Development Plan for 2023-24 is posted on the school website. These two documents are now amalgamated into one to support school communities to see both the impact of our previous work and the continuity of our planning and professional learning to support student achievement, engagement, and wellbeing, I have included the complete document below.  Please visit https://school.cbe.ab.ca/school/simonfraser/about-us/school/pages/default.aspx 

Transportation 

Fenton Bus Lines has a bus app to help families monitor their child’s bus route. The app is called “Bus Status 4”. Download the app and select “Fenton Bus Lines.”  This company is responsible for route K.  

All other routes are handled by Southland, please refer to www.myschoolbusmonitor.com every morning to make sure your child/ren’s bus is on time and has no delays. If you do not remember your child’s bus number, you can look on your MyCBE/PowerSchool account --> Bus Routes and stops, Route.
