Thank you! A huge shout out to Friends of Rainbow Falls School Society for their generosity!! They approved bussing for field trips, classroom iPads, an activity for our end of school year, science experiences and a grade 6 farewell field trip send off! The money raised through hot lunch, Casino (every three years) and the spring and fall fundraisers are hard at work for the students. A million thanks!!

A special thanks to Amber P who has worked hard to include the kindergarten students in the hot lunch and freezie days! 

Placement Requests 

This is your opportunity to indicate preferences for your child’s class placement for the 2024-25 school year! Outline the educational reasons for a specific request, such as a learning style, learning needs. If your child has had on-going, persistent concerns with another student, you can let us know and we can try to separate them into different classes for the upcoming year. Please note, we will try our best to consider your information with the many factors of class placements. I DO NOT accept requests for or against teachers. Please send an email to Mrs. Rahn, rrahn@rockyview.ab.ca
