Dear Douglas Harkness Families
Complete Two Forms: Demographic Verification Form and Annual Authorization Form
Parents / Legal Guardians are to complete both the Demographic Verification Form and Annual Authorization Form in SchoolEngage.
The Demographic Verification Form is to ensure your child’s information (parent phone number / email, medical, address, guardianship) is up-to-date in our system. The Annual Authorization is for parent consent/permission to share student information.
You will do so through MyCBE. If you don’t have a MyCBE account, please learn how to create one here.
Demographic Verification Form:
To learn how to complete the Demographic Verification Form, please go to the Demographic Verification Form technical support page for parents.
Note | a computer is not required to complete these two forms; you may complete these forms on your cell phone.
Please see the instructions on how to complete both the Demographic Verification Form and the Annual Authorization Form in SchoolEngage: Demographic Verification Form and Annual Authorization Form
If you do require assistance in completing the forms, please contact the Douglas Harkness Main Office and we will happily assist you.
School Council and Parent Society
Thank you to those parents and community members who came to School Council and Parent Society meeting on Thursday, September 19. If you are interested in attending the next meeting on October, please stay tuned for future dates.
This is an opportunity for parents / legal guardians to make a meaningful difference for students by participating on the school council.
Under the Education Act, a school council is a collective association designed to advise the principal and the CBE Board of Trustees on matters related to the school. School councils have legislated advisory and decision-making authority defined within the Education Act and the School Councils Regulation. They are different from Parent Societies & Associations, whose main function is to raise funds for the school. You can find more details in the CBE School Council Handbook.

Terry Fox Run
Our students learned about our Canadian athlete Terry Fox and his humanitarianism and activism for cancer research. Our students showed their support by running around our field and reflecting for those who they care about. Thank you students for showing great spirit.
