Dear Thorncliffe Families, 

We hope you had an opportunity to review the new bell times shared this past week.  For the 2025-26 school year, our bell times are: 

9:15am - 3:43pm, with early dismissal Friday at 1:10pm   

More information including the next year calendar will be available later in the Spring. 

As we start our next year planning, it is helpful to know whether students will be staying with us or moving to other schools.  If your family has moved or is planning to move to a different community or school, please contact the office at 403-777-6670 at your earliest opportunity to let us know. 

Thank you all for your continued support of student learning at Thorncliffe! 

Calleigh and Nadine
