Dear Nickle Families,

Many School fees for this year have now been posted to student PowerSchool accounts. When you have a moment, please log in to review them, and we’d appreciate payment as soon as you’re able. If you have any questions or would like to talk about options, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the office. We’re always happy to help.

Thank you to all parents who came out this week to our School Council and Parent Society meetings. It is great to have a good representation of parents and we truly appreciate all of the support that you provide the school, staff and students!

Please note below there is information for Grade 9 families regarding open houses and information evenings for high schools. We encourage you to reach out if you have any questions regarding high school!

Have a wonderful and spooky weekend,

Randy Lewis

Principal, Nickle School

CBE Student Surveys

Each year, Calgary Board of Education (CBE) students are invited to participate in surveys that gather feedback about their learning experiences, well-being, engagement, and school environment. Survey results help schools and the CBE evaluate programs, inform planning, and identify opportunities to better support student success and well-being. Please see the letter below for some more information regarding the upcoming CBE Student Survey, that will be administered beginning November 2, 2026. Many families have already provided consent for their child to participate in survey data collection. If you would like your child to not participate in the survey, please provide this information through your child's SchoolEngage account.

Wildcats Physical Education

Grade 7-9 students need to be changed for phys ed class, that means changing into clothing that is different than the clothes they came to school in, shorts, jogging pants, tights or leggings and a shirt. Grade 6's need to be appropriately prepared with clothing that allows them to move freely. All grades need to have proper athletic footwear, no boots, crocs, flip flops or sandals. We are promoting a healthy lifestyle and part of that is promoting good hygiene. Students also need to be prepared to be outside or inside and come dressed for the weather, jogging pants, a sweater, hoodie, mitts and a hat would be appropriate for colder mornings when participating in outdoor activities.


Healthy Hunger

Healthy Hunger is returning for the 2026-2027 school year with some new restaurants being included as well as some student favourites from years gone by. To see a full list of dates and restaurants, we encourage you to visit the Lunchtime link on the Nickle webpage. Families will need to create an account for their student on the Healthy Hunger webpage at healthyhunger.ca. The next Healthy Hunger of the school year will be Edo Japan on Wednesday, November 18.
