Ernest Manning Weekly Rundown
Jan. 27 - Jan. 31
Greetings Griffin families,
We are looking forward to welcoming students for the start of Semester Two tomorrow, January 28. If you are new to Ernest Manning and your child DOES NOT YET have a schedule for Semester Two, please have him/her check in at Student Services. If your child has requested a course change, please have him/her attend classes currently scheduled, for purposes of attendance. Eligible students will be called down to Student Services by grade during the first week to discuss requests. As a complement to all the detailed information found on the Ernest Manning High School website, here is your Weekly Rundown for January 27-31.

Revised Calgary Transit Route 731 to Manning
Effective Tuesday, January 28 Calgary Transit is revising the schedule for the 731 bus to start service at 8:15 am with arrival time at school of 8:42 am. As this is a manual change- trip planning will not show this change. Please let your children know to be at their stops – six minutes early.
From March 17 it will be revised again to arrive at school at 8:38
Reminder: Door Locking Protocol Changes
In keeping with updated CBE protocols, the entrances to the school from the Parkade as well as 69 Street will be locked each school day as of 9:30 am. Students arriving after that time will need to go around the school and enter from the Main Doors by the office. Thank you for your understanding.
Yearbook Ordering Deadline Approaching
This year, our deadline for yearbook ordering is the end of February, as opposed to end of May as it was last year. If you haven’t ordered a yearbook yet, please find information on how to do so here.
A confirmation email will be sent upon completion of booking. Please note that Lifetouch Calgary Studio is located at #30, 5329 72 Avenue S.E.
2025-26 Instructional Calendar Approved
In order to support our families in your long-term planning, the 2025-26 Instructional Calendar has been published for your reference.
Semester One Textbook Return
If your children have forgotten to hand in any Semester One textbooks or course materials, please encourage them to do so in the Learning Commons as soon as possible. Semester Two students will need those resources. Once materials are returned, the deposit charged to families will be removed.
