Support for Students at the CBE
Our students’ success is our top priority and we understand that our students live complex lives and that many factors both in school and outside of school can affect their ability to learn. The CBE offers a variety of services (such as Culture and Linguistic Support, Exceptional and Special Needs, and Psychological Services) to support students, their families and our school, so students can be successful learners.

All coded EAL students will have an Alberta Benchmark Level on their upcoming report card. This year, students will receive an overall benchmark level. Next year, students will receive a benchmark for each of the four strands: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking as well as an overall benchmark. The purpose of the benchmark evaluations is to assess
language acquisition and progression to support student learning. More information regarding the Alberta Benchmarks can be found at http://www.learnalberta.ca/content/eslapb/
If you have any questions about your student’s EAL benchmark assessment or language acquisition, please contact your student’s EAL teacher.
