Leadership Message
Welcome to Queen Elizabeth High School
Welcome to Queen Elizabeth High School. We are proud to be the only school in the Calgary Board of
Education where students can attend from grade seven to twelve. This provides us with a unique opportunity to
build relationships with students, parents and families. Students, parents and staff speak to the connections
they make with one another and how they value the experiences they share over time at Queen Elizabeth.
We rely on everyone in our school community to commit to learning and to one another to make our school a
better place to be. Inside this handbook you will find important information about our school and our
expectations.
We look forward to working with you throughout this school year. Thank you for choosing Queen Elizabeth High

Student Programs, Services & Supports
Homeroom
Queen Elizabeth runs a homeroom program for all grades. This occurs every Friday. It is a cross grade grouping
in which students may receive important information or documentation from the school. More importantly, it is a
class in which students interact with a teacher who provides emotional, academic or personal guidance.
Homerooms also allow students to interact with each other and the teacher without having an academic lesson.
It is a forum for the discussion of more general issues, as well as an opportunity for students to get to know other
students from different grades. A student entering the school in grade seven will retain the same homeroom
teacher for six years. The purpose of the homeroom is to:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
To create a positive school culture
To develop long lasting interpersonal relationships between staff and students
To foster mentorship
To provide time for meaningful goal setting, writing, and updating
To communicate important school information
The homeroom teacher is responsible for:
 To facilitate scheduled activities with homeroom members (activities will be scheduled/planned and
provided by the Homeroom Committee and Student Senate);
 To work with homeroom members to build positive relationships;
 To work with homeroom members to address student and school concerns;
 To co-develop with students meaningful goals for academic and/or personal success (IPPs, SMART
Goals);
 To communicate and distribute school information (i.e. report cards, newsletters, IPPS).
The homeroom student is responsible for:
 To actively participate in scheduled homeroom activities;
 To work with fellow homeroom members to build positive relationships;
 To work with homeroom members to address student and school concerns;
 To co-develop with homeroom teachers meaningful goals for academic and/or personal success;
 To take responsibility for ensuring school information gets to the appropriate source (i.e.
parent/guardian, homeroom teacher);
 To attend all homeroom meetings.
G.A.T.E. (Gifted and Talented Education) program (CBE – Special Education Program)
Students who are placed into the GATE program at Queen Elizabeth are provided:
 A challenging curriculum that explores substantial global questions, integrates several academic
areas, and extends beyond the Alberta Program of Studies
 Opportunities to apply higher level thinking skills and diverse problem solving strategies to real
world issues
 Learning at the level and pace that is consistent with the student’s capabilities
 Opportunities to explore areas of particular interest through independent research
 Access to experts and mentors, when possible
 Enhanced resources
Advanced Placement (AP) program
The Advanced Placement Program® (AP) is a cooperative educational endeavour between secondary
schools and colleges and universities. Since its inception in 1955, the AP Program has provided motivated
high school students with the opportunity to take post-secondary level courses in a high school setting.
Students who participate in the AP Program not only gain post-secondary skills but, in many cases, they
also earn college credit while they are still in high school. AP courses are taught by dedicated and
enthusiastic high school teachers who follow course guidelines developed and published by the College
Board. Queen Elizabeth is pleased to offer a full program of studies in Advanced Placement. These
programs are designed to offer a challenge to highly motivated, academic students in grades 10, 11 and 12.
Those wishing to write Advanced Placement (A.P.) exams in grade 12 will take course extensions to
prepare them. A.P. exams are available in Physics, History, English, Mathematics, Chemistry and Biology.
Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) program
Queen Elizabeth High School hosts a system program to support the learning needs of students in grades 7
- 12 who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing. In order to meet the needs of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing
students, we provide communication in three communication modes:
1. American Sign Language
2. Signed English
3. Oral/Aural
There are three components to this program:
1. Junior High School congregated classrooms
2. JHS/High School integration with sign language interpreter and/or DHH Educational Assistant
3. Learning Centre Component/Learning Strategist Support (HS)
Support for students in the DHH Program is provided through a Learning Leader, program teachers,
educational interpreters, educational assistants, and school assistant ASL.
Guidance and Counselling services
Guidance counsellors are available to assist students with educational, personal, social and career
questions. Counsellors are closely involved with students in the areas of programming, timetabling,
graduation requirements, post-secondary information and scholarship and career counseling. Services
include individual, small group counseling as well as large group sessions. Counsellors can help students to
resolve problems that may be impeding progress at school. Their services are confidential and are an
integral part of the educational process. While counselors are designated to provide support to students by
last name, students may see any of the counselors by appointment.

Code of Conduct
The code of conduct for Queen Elizabeth High School applies to all students enrolled in grades 7 through
12. It applies when the students are on and of site, at school or CBE sponsored activities or events. It also
applies to students on the way to and from school and on vehicles utilized for the transportation of students
to and from school and other locales utilized for Off-Site Activities.
Duties and responsibilities of students (School Act of Alberta)
The School Act of Alberta clearly outlines duties and responsibilities of students as follows:
A student shall conduct himself or herself so as to reasonably comply with the following code of conduct:
(a) Be diligent in pursuing the student’s studies
(b) Attend school regularly and punctually
(c) Cooperate fully with everyone authorized by the board to provide educational programs and other
services.
(d) Comply with the rules of the school
(e) Account to the students teachers for the student’s conduct.
(f) Respect the rights of others
CBE Administrative Regulations
The Calgary Board of Education further defines the duties and responsibilities of students. (Source:
Administrative Regulation 6001 – Student Discipline)
5(1) Students must respect
(a) school authority
(b) others and their property
(c) differences in ethnicity, race, religion, gender and sexual orientation; and
(d) school board property, community property and property of other persons.
(2) Students are responsible for
(a) school attendance and punctuality
(b) their work habits, assignments and homework
(c) textbooks and equipment; and
(d) compliance with the school’s code of conduct
8(2) Unacceptable student behaviour
(a) may be grounds for disciplinary action, and
(b) provides an opportunity for critical learning in the areas of
i) personal accountability and responsibility,
ii) the development of empathy,
iii) conflict resolution
iv) communication, and
v) social skills development
(3) Unacceptable student behaviour means, that in the opinion of a teacher or principal,
(a) the student has displayed an attitude of wilful, blatant and repeated refusal to
i) be diligent in pursuing the student’s studies,
ii) attend school regularly and punctually,
iii) co-operate fully with everyone authorized by the board to provide education programs and
other services,
iv) comply with the school’s rules or the code of student conduct,
v) account to the student’s teachers for the student’s conduct, or
vi) respect the rights and property of others.
Or
(b) the student’s conduct is injurious to the physical or mental well-being of others in the school. The
response of school personnel to “unacceptable student behaviour” is guided by CBE Governance
Policies, Administrative Regulations and the School Act of Alberta. At Queen Elizabeth, students
are expected to “respect the rights and property of others”, in particular the right to learn, the right
to feel safe and secure, and the right to personal property. Involvement in activities which do not
uphold these expectations, duties and responsibilities, may result in disciplinary action. While it is
impossible to outline exactly how the school will respond in each and every discipline situation,
students who are involved with: fighting; uttering threats; intimidation; harassment; bullying;
weapons; use, possession of, distribution of or active contact with or collection of money for illicit
drugs, alcohol or inhalants in school or on school board property or in the context of any schoolrelated activity, can anticipate an immediate response from school personnel.
While the initial responsibility to resolve incidents rests with students, parents and teachers working in
partnership, on occasion, unacceptable student behaviour may result in a referral to the office to meet with an
Assistant Principal or the Principal. Disciplinary action may result in loss of access to services and privileges
around the school; detention or meeting with a teacher before or after school ; a referral for counselling or
recommendation to parents for intervention; in-school suspension, suspension from school for a period of up to
and including five days, or, suspension with a recommendation for expulsion to CBE Suspensions.
CBE System-wide Student Code of Conduct
The Calgary Board of Education is committed to providing students and staff with a welcoming, caring, respectful
and safe learning environment that respects diversity and fosters a sense of belonging. With this in mind, the
CBE is creating a system-wide Student Code of Conduct (Administrative Regulation 6005) with input from
students, parents and CBE employees. This new code of conduct will apply to all CBE schools, and beginning in
the 2016/17 school year, individual schools will no longer have their own codes of conduct. All CBE students are
expected to abide by the new system regulation, which will be posted to our Administrative Regulation page
http://www.cbe.ab.ca/about-us/policies-and-regulations/Pages/Administrative-Regulations.aspx.
Policies and procedures
Graduation Criteria
To participate in Graduation Ceremonies you must:
 Be enrolled in a program of studies which allows the student to complete the requirements for a High
School Diploma by June 30 of the Gr.12 year.
 Be in regular attendance.
 Comply with the school code of conduct.
Participation in Graduation Banquet:
 Students not meeting the above criteria will be permitted to attend at the discretion of administration.
School Photo Identification
School photo identification is a component of safety and security practices at Queen Elizabeth High School.
Students are expected to carry their school identification card, and to produce the card if requested by a staff
member. If a card has been lost or stolen, please visit the learning commons to purchase a replacement.
Absence Reporting / Student Sign Out
To report absences from school, parents or guardians should:
a) call the school at 777-6380 press 1 at the voice prompt, to get the Attendance Line extension, spell
the family name of the student, provide the student’s grade, and date and reason for the absence
b) On occasion it is necessary to excuse a student from school to attend personal appointments or to
attend to family emergencies. Please send a note with the student enabling the student to get
dismissed from their class. Prior to leaving the school, students are expected to go to the office and
sign out with their note. Parents/guardians are responsible to sign their child out in person, contact
the school by phone or provide a written note prior to the school releasing the student from school.
Absences / Late Policy
Students are expected to attend all classes. Excused absences are: sick, medical / dental appointment,
funeral, death in the family, citizenship court, religious holiday, training for sports / sporting competition,
suspension or expulsion. Students will arrive to class on time and remain in classes until dismissed at the
bell. Attendance is required by Alberta’s School Act, it is essential for the successful completion of courses.
The most common cause of academic failure is absence.
All absences must be cleared by a parent or guardian through the main office attendance line. Failure to do
so will result in the implementation of the following:
Consequences
Teachers will phone home once a week to notify parents/guardians of attendance concerns. Teachers may
phone home more often if required. Teachers will record contact on student’s file through Activity Tracker.
After parents have been notified of unexcused absences, students are expected to make up missed class
time by serving a lunch time school detention in the school’s Learning Recovery Room.
Failure to attend a scheduled detention will result in the student being referred to an administrator for further
disciplinary action. Students will also be referred to an administrator once they have accumulated five (5)
unexcused absences in a particular class. Disciplinary options may include, but are not limited to:
 School community service
 Further detention time
 In-school suspension
 Removal from extra-curricular activities
 Placement on an Attendance Improvement Plan
 Withdrawal to an alternative school environment
Note: As with all policies, the administration of the school will take into account the individual issues and
concerns of students and families when considering action. There are times when Administration reserves
the right to exercise professional judgment.
The Late Policy will be a parallel process. Students are expected to be in class on time.
School Start and End Times
School start and end times are:
Monday-Thursday
Fridays
8:58 am – 3:33 pm
8:58 am – 12:47 pm
Early / Extended Leaves
On occasion, students are absent from school for extended periods of time to attend specific events or
activities out of school, or are required to leave the school prior to the end of a semester or school year.
Parents/guardians who choose to remove their child from school for these purposes must:



Complete an “Extended Absence Notice” available from the school office
Submit the completed “Extended Absence Notice” to the Principal or designate for final signature
Be aware the final examinations policy is in effect if the early/extended leave includes examination
periods at the end of semester one or two.
Absence Homework Requests
The school staff often receives requests from parents to provide homework for extended student absences
from school. School staff require 48 hours notice prior to providing homework or classroom materials to
parents. Staff are not required to provide homework to students who are going on holidays.
Plagiarism
We expect that students will not plagiarize or take credit for the works and/or ideas generated by others.
Students who plagiarize have committed theft of intellectual property. In such a case, students will be
subject to disciplinary action. The consequences range from: (a) letter in the student CUM file; (b)
withdrawal of credit for the work presented; (c) suspension from school.
General Conduct / Guests / Visitors
Queen Elizabeth High School is a closed campus. All guests or volunteers must report immediately to the
main office to register. While on campus, all visitors must wear a visitor lanyard or CBE Staff Identification.
Failure to do so may result in a request to leave the school immediately.
Personal or sexual harassment by any employee, student, parent or volunteer against another employee,
student, parent or volunteer is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated. Students, parents, volunteers and
visitors must conduct themselves in a manner which promotes and protects the best interests and wellbeing
of students, staff, co-workers, parents, volunteers and visitors. A parent or volunteer who subjects an
employee, parent, volunteer or visitor to personal or sexual harassment may be subject to disciplinary action
up to and including exclusion from school. A student who harasses another student, an employee, parent,
volunteer or visitor may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including expulsion. Action may be taken
against members of the public whose conduct has resulted in personal or sexual harassment of students,
employees, or representatives of the Calgary Board of Education.
Dress and Deportment
Students are required to dress appropriately for school. Students will not be allowed to attend class if they
choose a style of dress which detracts from the learning environment. Inappropriate dress may include bare
midriffs, short shorts, skimpy skirts and tops, offensive cresting or discriminatory inferences, or low rider
pants. Footwear should be safe and appropriate for the learning activity in which students are engaged.
Hats may be worn at school subject to the discretion of the teacher in charge. Spike collars, chains, pins
and other “like” personal fashion items are not to be worn or displayed. Inappropriate displays of affection
are not acceptable for a school setting and will be responded to by school personnel.
Safety and Security – Fire Drills, Lockdown, Searches
Every school is required to have practice fire drills and practice lockdown exercises throughout the year.
Practice fire drills and practice lockdowns are to be taken seriously. Doing so will ensure that students and
staff know what to do in the case of a real fire or lockdown.
The fire route is posted near the door of each room. All personnel in the school are to exit along
prescribed routes in single file and an orderly fashion. Students are under the direction of the teacher and
must listen if alternate routes must be found. Once outside, the class will move away from the building
and attendance will be taken.
A lockdown is a period of time when all doors in our school are locked. An external lockdown will
prevent anyone from entering the school from the outside. An internal lockdown will prevent anyone
from moving around the inside of the school. Teachers will review information with students prior to the
actual practice lockdown. Students are expected to follow all instructions and directions provided by
school staff or other individuals in authority e.g. Calgary Police Service.
On occasion, it is necessary for school administrators to conduct a student search. When there are
“reasonable grounds for a search”, the following may be subject to search:
Students, school desks, lockers and school storage areas used by students, and articles and objects
used by students either on school board premises or during off-site activities including but not limited
to, backpacks, clothing, purses, suitcases, and tote bags and Calgary Board of Education electronic
resources used by students.
Parents/guardians of the student involved in the search of a student’s person will be informed of the
search as soon as practical.
Smoking
Queen Elizabeth High School is a smoke free campus. Smoking is not permitted in the building, on the
school grounds or on neighbourhood properties. Students found to be smoking may receive a verbal
warning, be charged by Police and/or face disciplinary action from the school.
Lunch Time
Students are encouraged to stay in the school or on school grounds for lunch. They may socialize in the
cafeteria, student gathering area, hallways or participate in teacher supervised activities in the gym, library,
computer room, etc. Due to the short lunch period, we advise against leaving the building but do not prevent
students from doing so. Parents are advised there is very limited supervision outside of the school or off
school property. Students are reminded of their responsibility to be respectful of the property of others when
off campus during the lunch hour. Being respectful of the property of others means that students do not
loiter in or around business establishments, or trespass, loiter, or litter on private property.
Care of Possessions and School Property
Students are discouraged from bringing valuable personal items or possessions to school. The school cannot
accept responsibility for the loss of or damage to personal possessions or personal property. Students are
expected to accept personal responsibility for their possessions and for any they borrow. It is important that
library books or other resource material available on loan to students be returned at the required time so that
all students in the school have access to these materials. Students who lose or damage school textbooks,
library books or materials are responsible to pay a replacement fee. Any person guilty of theft or vandalism of
school or private property may be suspended from school and be liable for restitution.
Skateboards and In-Line Skates
Skateboards and in-line skates are not to be used on school property, including sidewalks and roads
bordering the school.
Replica Weapons and Laser Pointers
Items resembling weapons of any kind are not permitted on school property. Laser pointers are considered
to be a weapon and are not allowed in school. Laser pointers will be confiscated and students in possession
of laser pointers may be subject to disciplinary action.
Final Examinations
School-based common examinations and Alberta Education Diploma exams will be scheduled during the
last two weeks of each semester. Provincial Achievement Tests are scheduled during the last two weeks of
June as mandated by Alberta Education. These examinations are compulsory and all students are required
to write them. Teachers in consultation with administration may arrange an alternate examination for
students when extenuating circumstances warrant.
High School Diploma examinations mandated by Alberta Education cannot be re-scheduled but
arrangements may be made to write the exam at the next sitting for the exam.
Homework / Home Study Expectations
Students should expect to engage with both homework and an ongoing, consistent home study program.
Homework can be characterized as those assignments, projects that need to be completed by a specific
deadline. Home study refers to a planned, ongoing review of course materials and resources. Teachers will
not assign large projects or assignments to be completed during school breaks.
General Information
Communication
Success in school is linked closely with effective communication between home and school. There are
several ways to learn more about our school and to communicate with school personnel. The newsletter is
posted on our QE website, www.cbe.ab.ca/b806. Hardcopies are available only by request. Parents are
encouraged to explore the various links on our school website. Our school uses an email system called
MessageEasy to share information with parents about school events, reminders of important dates and
general details about Queen Elizabeth High School or the Calgary Board of Education. Parents can locate
up to date information about their child’s attendance in their HomeLogic account. Parents may address
questions or concerns with teaching staff by phone or email. A listing of the contacts for all staff can be
found on our website.
Lockers
Locker space is provided for student convenience. All Junior High students share a locker with another
student. Students will be provided with a school combination lock for their use. Only school issued locks
may be used. There is a $5.00 fee to replace lost locks. The school will not accept responsibility for lost,
damaged, or stolen items from Phys. Ed. tote boxes, lockers, or any other areas within the school. Students
are responsible for the care and upkeep of their lockers. Students may not switch lockers or locker partners.
Speak with a teacher or the Main Office if there are concerns about locker assignments.
Student Parking
Limited student parking is available to Grade 12 students for rental on the school premises. All student
vehicles must be registered and a permit must be displayed on the car’s mirror. Please park only in the
rented student parking space. DO NOT PARK in the Visitor parking stalls. Vehicles parked illegally or
without a permit will be ticketed and/or towed away. Passes can be purchased from the business office for
$40.00 for the school year. Parking in the Visitor Parking areas or in permit areas of the neighbourhood may
result in a parking ticket. Neither the CBE nor Queen Elizabeth High School will accept responsibility for any
damage to vehicles parked on the grounds.
Change of personal information
Please remember to inform the office if you change your address and/or telephone number. Parent/Guardian
work numbers are especially important in case of emergency.
Cafeteria
Our cafeteria provides a range of foods for purchase. Students can obtain hot or cold lunches and
beverages and are asked to clean their lunch area after lunch is completed. The cafeteria items comply with
healthy food standards of the CBE.
Library / Learning Commons
We have approximately 16,000 shelf items including one of the finest novel collections in the Calgary Board
of Education. Books can be checked out for two weeks, and renewed with picture ID. For the Library
Learning Commons webpage and additional links to teaching and learning information, follow the link from
the QEHS Homepage http://schools.cbe.ab.ca/b806/. Our Library Assistant as well as our Teacher Librarian
are both trained and experienced and ready to assist.
Digital Citizenship and Use of Technology
The use of technology is an integral part of learning at all CBE schools. Students are eligible to access school
technology and resources, including CBE email and CBE secure network. Students and parents may also elect to
use personal devices, and apply to connect to the Internet through the Learner Accessible Wireless Network.
