Report Cards
West Ridge School continues to support students in developing a growth mindset while enhancing their resiliency in learning. As such, emphasis continues to be placed on the process that students go through rather than the final product they produce. Students are encouraged to take risks, push the boundaries, and see what is possible.
We do our best to focus on student progress and help students see where they were, where they are, and where they are trying to get to in their learning. This way the priority is the learning rather than the “mark” and students begin to take more ownership over their learning.
The area(s) that students see the most progress in and the rate at which they progress are just as unique as each student. We would like you to be proud of and focus on celebrating your child’s successes as we work together to support their learning.
For consistency within the CBE, the style and structure of the comments will be similar in each school. Like last year, the comment will include a proficiency descriptor, the stem/outcome/area of curriculum it relates to, evidence of student learning, and success criteria. Areas for Growth will also include an action to support continued growth.
What may look slightly different from last year may be the number of comments students receive for various subjects. Grade 5 and 6 students will see comments in all of their subject areas where students in Grades 7 to 9 will have comments for English Language Arts and Mathematics but may or may not have comments for Science or Social Studies, depending on the needs of the student.
Kindergarten to Grade 9 report cards will be available starting Feb. 24, 2026. After May 29, 2026 all Semester 1 report cards will no longer be available for viewing, downloading and/or printing.
Parents and Guardians can sign in to MyCBE to view student information, including report cards, comments from your child’s teacher, assignments and grades, and attendance information. For the best access to information, log in through the MyCBE portal, using a web-browser like Chrome or Safari instead of using the PowerSchool App.

Pink Shirt Day - Feb 25
Pink Shirt Day originated in Halifax, Nova Scotia back in 2008 with two high school aged students that saw a need to be kind while another student was not being treated with kindness and respect. That one act of compassion quickly spread beyond the school. In 2008, British Columbia’s provincial government proclaimed a provincial Anti-Bullying Day in February, and over time the idea of wearing pink to stand against bullying spread throughout Canada and then internationally. Today, Pink Shirt Day is observed annually in Canada on the last Wednesday of February.
Pink Shirt Day is now a national and global movement that encourages people of all ages to:
- Wear pink as a visible symbol of support for kindness, inclusion, and respect for others.
- Raise awareness and start conversations about why bullying is harmful and what we can do to prevent it.
- Raise funds for programs that help children and youth build healthy self-esteem, resilience, and safe environments.
The Calgary Board of Education recognizes Pink Shirt Day across all schools and offers professional learning and classroom resources that support a strength-based approach to well-being, emphasizing schoolwide and classroom supports for students. As an organization, through Pink Shirt Day we honour the grassroots act of kindness and reaffirm our shared commitment to reducing bullying and creating welcoming, caring safe and respectful spaces for everyone.
Promoting inclusion is something that occurs in our schools every day. Check out some of the information and resources available! Creating Safe and Caring School Environments
