To the students and families of Chestermere Lake Middle School,
It brings me great joy to welcome everyone to the start of the 2023 school year. Whether you're a student, parent, or guardian, the start of the school year is an exciting time filled with new opportunities, learning adventures, and growth. As you embark on this journey, remember that each day brings a chance to learn something new, make lasting memories, and build valuable skills.
For students, it's a chance to reunite with friends, meet new teachers, and explore new subjects that spark your curiosity. This is as much your school as it is the teachers and staff’s. What do you want it to look like? What are you doing to make your vision happen? Let’s get off the sides lines of life and embrace the challenges that come your way, for they will only help you become stronger and more resilient individuals.
To families, your support and involvement play a vital role in your child's educational journey. Thank you for your continued support with their progress, lending a helping hand with homework, and encouraging them to explore their passions.
