RVS Seeks Feedback for Potential Student Accommodation changes in Chestermere

Posted on

RVS will host a public engagement session to gather feedback on potential changes to grade configurations at East Lake School and attendance boundary changes in some Chestermere communities on Oct. 22 at Chestermere Lake Middle School (128 W Lakeview Drive, Chestermere). A presentation will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m., followed by an opportunity to share your thoughts with RVS staff during a table discussion.

The Board is seeking feedback on the following proposed solution:

  • East Lake School’s English program expands from Kindergarten to Grade 6 to Kindergarten to Grade 9.
  • Christian and French Immersion programs for Kindergarten to Grade 6 remain at East Lake School while the Christian and French Immersion programs for Grades 7 to 9 would continue to be offered at Chestermere Lake Middle School only.
  • Communities of Chelsea, Dawson's Landing, Bridgeport commercial, Waterford, Waterford Estates and Paradise Meadows are redesignated from attending East Lake School to attend Rainbow Creek Elementary School.
  • North Acreages area is redesignated from attending East Lake School to attend Prairie Waters Elementary School.
  • Clearwater Park community is designated to attend Rainbow Creek Elementary School.
  • Bridgeport North is designated to attend Prairie Waters Elementary School.

Written feedback is being collected through RVSEngage.com until Nov. 26, and delegations to the Board will take place Dec. 12. Please visit RVSEngage to learn more and view tables of possible changes by school and community.
