New at CA?
Thank you for choosing Calgary Academy! Changing schools is a big step, and we are here to make the transition as smooth as possible. This page is your one-stop-shop for everything you'll need prior to your child beginning classes at CA.
You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers.
Changing schools is a big transition, and we are here to help make it as smooth a process as possible. We’ll be adding need-to-know information to this page throughout the summer.
Summer Concierge
This summer, you can call Calgary Academy Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. to speak with a staff member who will be able to answer your questions or further direct your inquiry. Speak to the Summer Concierge today! Call 403-686-6444 or email info@calgaryacademy.com.
PowerSchool
There are a number of online tools needed for the best possible CA experience – luckily, most of these tools allow you to log in with one set of credentials! Parents can access LunchTime and Rycor through PowerSchool if your credentials are a match. New families were sent PowerSchool instructions in June, and can now log in to purchase Knights Swag, support the Legacy Award by purchasing a Limited Edition 40th Anniversary Mural Tote Bag, or sign up for CASSC – the very popular Ski and Snowboard Club. In August, parents can create a LunchTime account in order to pre-order lunches and load funds onto your child’s Castle Café account. Please note: although you can access the Enrolment Portal (SchoolAdmin) on the landing page in PowerSchool, you will still need to log into the Enrolment Portal separately. These systems are not compatible.
LunchTime
LunchTime is the Castle Café’s cashless program à la carte or pre-order program. Unique cards are issued and parents can load funds onto cards via credit card (no service fees) using the LunchTime program.
Rycor
Rycor allows parents to complete all waivers and forms for field trips, sports, clubs, and extracurricular activities, order CA Merchandise, and make all payments in the “Cart” via credit card (no service fees).
Rycor is accessed through PowerSchool.
New Families FAQs
We know it can be overwhelming to keep a new school’s processes, information, and contacts straight – that’s why we’ve compiled a list of FAQs to help you navigate your way around CA. We’ll be capturing all the FAQs that come up at New Family Welcome, and incorporating them here. Check back throughout the summer for additional FAQs!
General
Can I make changes to my application after submitting it?
Yes! After submitting your application, you can update your information and upload new documents anytime through the SchoolAdmin portal.
Technical Support
What if I do not have all the required documents or they do not apply to my child?
If you’re missing any documents or some don’t apply to your child, please make a note in the designated fields on your online application form. You can also email us to let us know which documents you can’t provide or that aren’t relevant.
Other FAQs
Do you provide busing?
We are pleased to offer transportation to all Calgary Academy students. We redesign our bus routes every year to transport students in a safe and efficient manner. Our busing provider, First Student, normally sends busing information out by the third to fourth week in August to families who indicated interest by submitting the student transportation form in the parent portal during enrollment.
