Parent Council Meeting – School Board Trustee in Attendance
All parents and guardians are welcome to our next Forest Lawn High School parent council meeting on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, at 6:30 pm. Our local elected school board trustee, Susan Vukadinovic, will join us. This is a great opportunity for parents and guardians to share with our local school board trustee about the high expectations of our families have for Forest Lawn High School. Trustee Susan Vukadinovic will start by providing a brief overview of the role of the Board of Trustees at the Calgary Board of Education (CBE) and then she will open it up to a roundtable to hear from you, the parents and guardians. Even if you have never been to a school council meeting before, you are welcome to join us.
Email Student Absences
If your child is going to be late or absent to school, please email forestlawn@cbe.ab.ca; this is a much quicker method to relay this information.
Our school telephone lines are very busy in the morning, and we cannot answer every call, so please try to email in the absence information.
