This fall, the CBE has hired hundreds of teachers, education assistants, and other school staff to support student learning. These positions have been funded by the Government of Alberta with the intention of addressing classroom complexity and class sizes.

We are pleased to welcome several new staff members to Ethel M. Johnson School for the 2026-27 school year:

• Kendra Zankl - Grade 6
• Kristine Smyth - Grade 3
• Tammara Behl - Complexity Team
• Jenlen Leonard - Complexity Team
• Sarah Duguay - K-6 Student Support

We are very excited to have these talented educators and support staff join our school community. This additional staffing will help ensure students benefit from:

• Increased teacher attention
• Improved classroom learning environments
• Greater support for diverse learning needs
