Supplies

Rundle purchases all school supplies and invoices the parents in September. This ensures that each child has the correct materials and that the materials are aligned for each grade. Rather than collecting fees numerous times throughout the school year for each event/activity, parents are able to make this one-time payment at the beginning of the year. 

Fees

School fees will be posted to your child's PowerSchool account in September.  

Grades 4–6 school fees are as follows:

• Parent Advisory Council (PAC) Fee: $50.00

  • • The Collett PAC needs your support.  This money equips the PAC to sponsor events throughout the year.

• School Supplies: $175.00

  • • Includes all school supplies including textbooks, workbooks, pencil cases, felts, erasers, yearbooks, art, music supplies, etc.

• Field Trip Fund: $200.00

  • • This fund covers expenses projected for our day trips throughout the year. Overnight field trips and optional Outdoor Education trips will have additional costs that will be communicated to parents as the trip draws closer.

The total school fee for each student in grades 4–6 is $450.00.

Payment Process

Our accounts manager has provided the following details regarding the payment process once the invoices are set up in September:

1. On a laptop or computer (not a cell phone) login to your PowerSchool account rundle.powerschool.com

2. Select the student's name (for families that have more than one child attending Rundle, you will need to select each student individually) 

3. Select Student Fees/Forms and the current year's school fees will appear. 

4. Click on the cart to add the fees

5. Fill in your credit card information for payment 

*For returning parents, you may have a credit from a previous school year and this amount will automatically be applied towards your fees. 

If you need further assistance please call the office at 403-282-8411.

What day do we return to school?
College Elementary students will return to school on Thursday, August 31. We will start at 8:15 am (drop off anytime after 8:05 am) and end at 11:45 am on this day. This will allow families who are bringing a Primary student to school to pick up their Elementary aged child at the same time.

• Morning supervision will begin each day at 8:05 am.

• Monday – Friday Start | 8:25 am

• Monday – Thursday End | 3:05 pm

When will I find out about my child's homeroom teacher?
Your child's teacher will be calling all their students/parents on August 24 or 28.

What do I do if my child has a nut allergy, asthma, or a health concern?
Please advise your classroom teacher of any health concerns when they call. As well, please ensure you inform the school of any changes in health concerns throughout the school year.

How will I know where to drop off and pick up my child on the first day?
Details about the drop-off and pick-up routines will be shared in August. 

On the first day, can I park my car and walk my child into his or her classroom?
We ask all our parents to use the "kiss and child exits the car" approach to drop off in our parking lot. This will best prepare your child for routines and independence while ensuring a safe and fluent traffic flow. Parents are being asked to stay in their vehicles unless it is necessary to support your child.

Does my child need to bring any school supplies?
No, all school supplies are ordered and provided by the school. Each child should come with their own set of headphones. Our preference is that students use over-the-ear, non-wireless headphones.

What fees are there and how do I pay?
All fees are paid online. Details about the fees as well as how and when to pay the fees are outlined above in a separate drop-down. 

What does my child bring on the first day of school?

• first day of school is a non-uniform day

• backpack

• indoor uniform shoes (that do not mark the floor)

• gym shoes ( that do not mark the floor) 

• snacks, lunch, and water bottle

Police Information Check (PIC) Process for Volunteers

All parents who would like to volunteer to work with students, or in the Collett school building in any capacity will need to have a PIC (Police Information Check) completed and submitted to the school.

As this process can sometimes take a little time (about two weeks), we want to give you a heads-up about the steps involved so that you may get started over the summer. If you plan on being a school volunteer this September, please complete your police check by July 31, 2023 in order to have it processed in time for fall.

1. Please go online, or visit your local Calgary Police Station to request a Vulnerable Sector police check. You will need to pay a small fee for this service.

2. Please use this link if you would like the police check results to go directly to the school.

3. Select the green Perform Personal Police Information Check button. 

4. Select Rundle College K-6 from the list of agencies.

5. If you would prefer to deliver a copy of the police check to the school, you may bring it to Jill Edison in the Collett building front office. She will scan a copy of the police check and return the original copy to you.

6. Once the completed police check is on file with the school, your name will be added to a school list of parents available for volunteer support.

7. If you have an existing police check from another authority/province, you will need to present that to the Calgary Police Service for review.

8. Police Information Checks are valid for three years from the date they were issued. 

9. If you have any questions about this process, please contact Josepha Raptis at jraptis@rundle.ab.ca.

Let’s Connect!

As a parent of a child at Rundle College K-6, you are automatically a member of the Rundle College Collett School Parent Advisory Committee (PAC). One of the PAC’s missions is to promote a positive and welcoming environment for all families and as such, the PAC would like to give parents the ability to connect with each other to help build a stronger sense of community.  

The PAC will be organizing grade-based socials in the coming weeks. These will be a great opportunity to meet and catch up with parents in your child’s grade. You need to be on the PAC mailing list to be included on the invite list. For those who have not already completed the form, it can be found HERE. 

Please note that this is required annually, and a separate form is required for each child attending the school. 

These are PAC initiatives and are overseen by the PAC Executive. If you have any questions, please contact the PAC at rundlecollettschoolpac@gmail.com.
