Good morning MSS families,

Spring Break runs from March 23-27. Classes for all MSS students resume on Monday, March 30, 2026.

Eligibility for Badminton (Females)

A reminder to parents/guardians about the requirements under Alberta’s Fairness and Safety in Sport Act, SA 2024, c F-2.5 (the “Act”), which came into force Sept. 1, 2025. This Act mandates that participation in female-only leagues, classes, or divisions be limited to student athletes whose sex recorded at birth is female. Any female student 12 years of age or older who plans on trying out for the badminton team must have the attached form signed and returned by the start of tryouts (April 1 & 2). Female student athletes are not able to try-out and/or play without a signed consent form.

The consent form can be accessed HERE.

Paper copies will also be available in the main office March 30 and 31. A new form must be completed for each athletic activity/event. Ex) The consent form returned for basketball/volleyball/soccer etc. is not applicable or transferrable to badminton.

Enjoy the break.
