Returning to West Ridge?
As we ramp up the planning for the 2026-27 school year, we would like to gather accurate data about the number of students who will be attending West Ridge School next year, as this can have an impact on staffing, class configuration, and the complementary courses that we can offer.
If you have a child(ren) in Grade 5, 6, 7, or 8 that will not be returning to West Ridge School for the upcoming school year, please email Mr. Lang (jplang@cbe.ab.ca) or West Ridge School (westridge@cbe.ab.ca) so that we are aware. If your child is in Grade 9 there is no need to email us as we know that they will not be returning next year.
Also, if you know of someone who may be coming to West Ridge School next year, who is not currently attending West Springs School we would appreciate if you could let us know that too.
Thank you for your help!
