Dear Chestermere Lake Middle School Families,
Welcome to another exciting year at Chestermere Lake Middle School! As we step into 2025–2026, our mission continues to guide us: to be a welcoming and inclusive community where every student is valued. At CLMS, we celebrate diversity, build meaningful relationships, and create a culture of belonging where every child has the chance to grow, learn, and achieve their goals. We believe every student has unique strengths, and our job is to help them discover, develop, and shine.
This year, we’re focused on three big priorities: building strong foundations in literacy and numeracy, preparing students for the future through real-world career connections, and continuing to grow a school culture where every student feels safe, supported, and proud to belong. These aren’t just goals on paper; they are the heartbeat of our work together, guided by our RISE values of Respect, Integrity, Safety, and Engagement.
Families, staff, and students all have a role to play in this journey. When we all lean in together in classrooms, on the court, in school performances, and through community events, everyone can achieve. At CLMS, learning isn’t just about meeting expectations; it’s about sparking curiosity, building confidence, and setting students up to succeed long after middle school. Living our RISE values in every space, whether it’s the classroom, the hallways, or the playground, helps make that possible.
We are proud of the incredible school, the curiosity and work ethic of our students, the dedication of our staff, and the unwavering support of our families. Together, with RISE at the core of our community, we will make 2025–2026 a year of growth, connection, and achievement that every member of our school can celebrate.
Let’s make this our best year yet.
Sincerely, John-Mark Crane, Principal
Aja Coe & Stacy Connolly, Assistant Principals
