We are very excited to have your children joining us for Chinese classes in the 2023-2024 school year.
IMPORTANT: NEW TCA EXTERNAL DOORS ACCESS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
In accordance with the Calgary Board of Education (CBE) policies, TCA has revised the John G. Diefenbaker (JGD) and Sir John A. Macdonald (SJAM) external door entrance and exit procedures. The goal is to enhance the monitoring of all TCA school community members – including students, staff, parents and guests entering and exiting our school. Our number one school goal is to offer our community the safest and most secure campuses possible. This ultimately provides our students with the best learning environment to pursue their studies effectively and comfortably.
