School Fees
Where can I find fees associated with courses?
Your child’s school fees can be viewed and paid through the MyCBE,
What if I Can't Afford to Pay School Fees?
If you are unable to pay school fees, please access this CBE What if I Can't Afford to Pay School Fees? document for further information.
Please contact Linda Kowalchuk by email at llkowalchuk@cbe.ab.ca or call the school at 403-817-3600 Ext 2007 if you have further questions.
Students Arriving Late or Leaving Early
Students arriving late do not need to stop in at the office to sign in; they can go directly to class. If a student is leaving early, parents need to give permission by email, phone or texting the student; all students must stop at the office to sign out. Parents are not required to come into the school to pick up students.
Transportation and Parking
Calgary Transit
Calgary Transit has express buses to the school from designated communities. For JCS Express Route information, please visit the Calgary Transit School Express Routes website.
Calgary Transit also has a “Plan a Trip” tool or families can also call 403-262-1000 for assistance with route planning and questions about Calgary Transit operations. Families do not need to register to use Calgary Transit, including school express routes.
Grade 12 students have priority for purchasing a JCS parking pass. An email was sent to all grade 12’s with the application. Students who submit a parking application will receive a confirmation email with further instructions. Grade 12 students who did not receive an email, can contact Linda Kowalchuk. Grade 11 and 10 students will receive an email in mid-September inviting them to apply for a parking pass.
A parking fee appearing in MyCBE is confirmation that they will receive a pass. Once the online payment is complete, they will be issued a parking pass through the Business Office. Parking fees include GST, and are as follows:
- Full Year (Sept to June) $40
- Semester One (Sept to Jan) $20
- Semester Two (Feb to June) $20
