Information Bulletin: Online information to help Albertans prepare for back-to-school
Edmonton… There are only a few weeks of summer left and Alberta Learning's Back-to-School Information Kit is now available to help Albertans of all ages plan for the upcoming school year.
This kit includes a wide range of information to help students and their parents get ready for the return to the classroom next month. Information may also be useful to media preparing back-to-school supplements.
Some of the highlights of this year's information kit are:
- Informative feature stories for students and parents
- 2004-2005 School Year Operating Schedule highlighting school start and end dates for all jurisdictions, as well as Christmas/Winter and Easter/Spring vacations
- Information and links on student financial assistance including facts on scholarships, bursaries, student loans and Alberta's loan relief program
- Resources to help plan education and career paths including information and links on post-secondary education and apprenticeship
- Resources for students, parents and teachers including homework and study tips, choosing schools and educational institutions, as well as numerous links to information about Alberta's lifelong learning system
