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.

We encourage families of Grade 12 students to talk with their student about the graduation progress.
A Grade 12 student is generally considered on track if they have 75 credits at the start of Grade 12 and have passed all classes first semester. This helps ensure graduation by the end of the school year.

Students must complete:
- English Language Arts 30-1 or 30-2
- Social Studies 30-1 or 30-2
- Mathematics 20-1, 20-2, or 20-3

- Career and Life Management (CALM – 3 credits)

Guidance Counsellors will be reviewing graduation progress with all Grade 12 students in the coming weeks. The next graduation list will be posted mid-February.
MyPass — Required for All Alberta High School Students
All Alberta high school students must have a MyPass account.
MyPass is used to:
- View diploma exam results

FLHS Advisory Committee Upcoming Casino – Volunteers Needed
Consider joining us as a casino volunteer and help in raising funds for FLHS Student Programs.
We will be looking for individuals to help us out with our casino fundraiser on June 26-27, 2026, at Pure Casino – 1420 Meridian Rd NE
This is a great opportunity to get involved in your school community and give back while having a lot of fun. No previous experience is necessary. A casino advisor will fully train you before you begin your shift. All volunteers must be at least 18 years old and will be supported in their role by casino staff.
Some of the tasks we need help with include cashiers, chip runners, and count room staff.
