Positive Community Members
Since the snow has melted and more students are spending lunch outside, we have noticed an increase in garbage on our fields. We appreciate working together to keep our school property clean for the whole community.
School Council & Fundraising Society
Annual general meetings will be held May 20, 2026 before the regular council meetings. These meetings will include yearly summaries and elections of officers for vacancies.

Tomorrow! FREE Pancake Breakfast — Tuesday, May 19! Join us on the basketball court on Royal Birkdale Dr. for a FREE community pancake breakfast hosted by WDP and ROS School Councils! The Calgary Stampede Caravan will be serving pancakes and halal turkey sausage, with Tim Hortons providing complimentary coffee and hot chocolate.

Rain or shine: if the weather is rough, we'll move indoors to the WDP Aux Gym.
Please note: Parent supervision is required for ROS students and Pratt Grade 5/6 students. Pancakes contain dry eggs, dry milk, and flour. Gluten-free options are not available.
