September Message From The Principal
Dear BACS Families,
Welcome back to a new and exciting school year at Bon Accord Community School!
I hope you and your family enjoyed a restful summer filled with fun, laughter, and time together. Whether you are returning to our school or joining us for the first time, we are so happy to have you as part of our caring and vibrant community.
The summer renovations to the building have largely been completed and putting the school back together for our students has been the latest goal. However, the work done in and out of the building looks fantastic and I hope once everything is complete, students and families will be able to truly appreciate how much change has occurred since last spring.
Here at Bon Accord Community School, we believe the early years of school are a special and important time in a child’s life. From Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 4, we focus not only on building strong academic foundations but also on helping children grow socially, emotionally, and creatively. Our amazing team of educators and support staff have been busy preparing warm, welcoming classrooms where your children will feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.
We truly value the partnership we have with you, our families. Your involvement, encouragement, and communication play a key role in your child’s success, and we look forward to working closely with you throughout the year.
Thank you for entrusting us with your little learners. Our staggered start return this past week reminded us all of why we work in education. To hear the sound of your children’s laughter in the hallways and see the spark of curiosity in their eyes provides us with the energy to make this school year year one to remember!
With warmest wishes for a joyful start,
Matt Ohm, Principal
Bon Accord Community School
Upcoming:
Terry Fox Run
This year, BACS is so proud and excited to participate in the Terry Fox School Run on Friday, September 26th at 2:00pm. To date, our school has raised over $21,000.00 for cancer research! We have been participating in this wonderful event for 26 years! This year we celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Marathon of Home and the theme of this year’s run is FINISH IT. Terry had a dream of helping others by raising money for cancer research. By participating in this great event, we hope to finish Terry's dream of a world where people are free from cancer. This year, our goal is to raise $1500.00 in support of the Terry Fox Foundation. Thank-you for supporting our school in the fight against cancer and showing your FINISH IT attitude in honour of Terry!
We will begin collecting online donations for the Terry Fox Foundation today and continue collecting until our run date. Donations can be made by following this link:

We appreciate your continued support!
Just a reminder that we have our first School Council and Parent Support Society Meeting on Tuesday, September 23rd, 2025 at 6:30pm. Please come join us for an evening of discussion and collaboration!
Also, don't hesitate to check out the School Council and PSS page above for more information, including an important note regarding the upcoming casino fundraiser!
We are thrilled to announce that Ms. Jennifer Mercier will be joining us in PreK with our afternoon class. If you see her in the building, please say hello!
Also, we want to give a huge BACS welcome to Cst. Tanner Wills with the RCMP. Cst. Wills has been visiting us throughout the week and is commencing a "Positive Ticket" program, which acknowledge acts of kindness. Students who receive a positive ticket will also earn a small treat from one of a variety of local businesses!
If your child will be absent from school, you may report that absence by emailing baccord@sturgeon.ab.ca or calling the school at 780-921-3559, if your call goes to voicemail please leave a message. The messages are checked frequently.
Please ensure you send your child to school in proper wear for the weather with extra clothes, including socks and underwear. Be sure to label all your child's outerwear, including their shoes. We have many BACS Bears with the same shoes and want to avoid any mix-ups. As the weather is much hotter please be mindful of sending your child to school with sunscreen already applied, a hat and water bottle.

TCIS at
At Bon Accord Community School, we are committed to fostering safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environments for all students. One of the key tools we use to achieve this is the Therapeutic Crisis Intervention for Schools (TCIS) system. TCIS is a trauma-informed, division-wide framework designed to help staff prevent crises, de-escalate potential conflicts, and support students in developing healthy emotional regulation and coping skills. This system not only enhances safety and well-being but also promotes stronger relationships between students, staff, and families.
