Message from FOP

Welcome to our final week of online Family Oriented Programming! Please copy & paste the text below into an online translator if needed. Unfortunately, after many years of supporting our preschool and kindergarten families, Family Oriented Programming has been discontinued. Over the past twelve years we have seen our program grow and evolve.  It has been our pleasure to watch thousands of children grow and develop and reach many milestones.  We strongly believe you are the first and most important teacher in your child's life!  Your support and involvement in your children's learning are necessary for their success at school and in life.  As a Family Oriented Program team, we were thrilled to be your partners in the beginning of your child's school journey.  Thank you for attending our sessions, and for all your questions and concerns. A big thank you to all the families and CBE staff, past and present that have supported our program!  We would like to thank you for the opportuity to serve you and your children.  We will cherish the wonderful partnership we have built! Here are some community suggestions to help your family: Summer resources 2020 Please email us at fop@cbe.ab.ca if you have any questions or if would like to leave our team any comments or feedback! Wishing you all the best in your future journey!
