Dear Parents,

Let us welcome you back on occasion of the CÉF's inauguration of the 2016-2017 school year. You will find that our school staff is genuinely involved in the educational mission of the CÉF, which is committed to the academic success of your child. In our schools, you will meet other parents like you who want the best education for their children, not only in French first language, but also the very best education available anywhere in Saskatchewan.

The considerable reduction of the CÉF's long-term debt and the adoption by the Francophone school Board of a balanced budget in 2016-2017, will allow the organization to begin the school year in a context that will better enable it to fulfill its mission than it has been in the recent past.

The Conseil des écoles fransaskoises wishes to provide you with pertinent information regarding transportation services for the 2016-2017 school-year.

The transportation form is now available in the “Parents” section on the CÉF’s web site at www.ecolefrancophone.com .  We ask that every family complete a separate form for each child.

"Please find below the contact list of our transportation providers.  Please refer to the school your child attends for their contact information."

Here are the latest news and happenings this month at École de Bellegarde:

• Congratulations to Jacob Dumaine who competed at the district level in badminton on May 7^th in Moosomin. He put in a great effort during that tournament!

The musical artist Kattam is currently touring our province in order to offer his highly popular French school presentation Kattam et ses Tam-Tams. This percussionist who currently resides in Montreal is presenting his show in more than fourteen schools throughout Saskatchewan. On March 10th, our schools in Gravelbourg had the pleasure of welcoming the artist : Gravelbourg Elementary School in the morning and École Beau Soleil in the afternoon. École Ducharme in Moose Jaw was also in attendance at ÉBS.

« A multicultural adventure enjoyed by all those who had the pleasure of attending! »
