New School in Langdon Accommodation Plan

Rocky View Schools (RVS) welcomes your input as we determine the grade configuration and designated attendance boundaries for the new school currently under construction in Langdon. We are excited to open the new school in September 2024.

After hearing your initial feedback during the first phase of this engagement in spring 2023, the Board of Trustees (the Board) decided to delay making a decision in June as planned and to extend the engagement timeline. In-person and online engagement opportunities will begin again on Oct. 17 and the Board will aim to make its decision at the Dec. 14 public Board meeting.

The next phase of the consultation will include the original option for the grade configuration and designated attendance boundaries shared with the community during the initial phase:

• Sarah Thompson School as Kindergarten – Grade 6 (K-6)
• Langdon School as K-6
• Indus School as K-6
• New Langdon Jr/Sr High School as grades 7-12, opening as grades 7-11 in September 2024 and expanding to grades 7-12 in September 2025

Based on the feedback received, two additional options have been developed:

Additional option B

• Sarah Thompson School as Kindergarten – Grade 5 (K-5)
• Langdon School as K-8
• Indus School as K-8
• New Langdon High School as grades 9-12, opening as grades 9-11 in September 2024 and expanding to grades 9-12 in September 2025

Additional option C

• Sarah Thompson School as Kindergarten – Grade 3 (K-3)
• Langdon School as Grades 4-8
• Indus School as Kindergarten – Grade 8 (K-8)
