December 2025

Happy December, Camilla Families!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Parent Teacher Interviews. It was wonderful to connect with so many of you and to celebrate the learning happening in our classrooms.

We are very excited for our Christmas Concert on December 16th, and we can’t wait to see the gym filled with families and friends. Our students have been working incredibly hard on their performances, and we know they’re looking forward to sharing the magic of the season with you.

A big congratulations to our volleyball teams on another successful season. We’re proud of the dedication and sportsmanship our athletes showed throughout the fall. With the nets now coming down, it’s time to transition into basketball season—best of luck to all our players and coaches as we get underway!

As we move into the Christmas season, Camilla School will be buzzing with activity, excitement, and celebration. Thank you for your ongoing support and involvement in our school community.

Wishing everyone a wonderful start to December!

Kevin Elias
Principal, Camilla School

Board Policies and Administrative Procedures | Sturgeon Public School Division

"Sturgeon Public Schools is proud to be the first school division in Alberta to partner with Unplugged Canada, a parent-led movement encouraging families to delay giving children personal smartphones until at least age 14. Research shows that waiting can positively impact children’s mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. While technology is an important part of learning in our classrooms, personal smartphone and social media use present different challenges. By sharing the Unplugged Canada Pledge, we hope to support open conversations at home and connect families with the resources they need to make the best choices for their children. Participation is completely voluntary—learn more and sign the pledge here."

At Camilla 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.
