MyCBE Acocunt
A MyCBE Account is an important tool for accessing all of your child’s information. Parents/ Legal Guardians/ Independent Students who have not already done so must create a MyCBE account and add student(s) to the account to:
- access your child’s program information (e.g., course assessments, daily attendance record, report card)
- view your child’s learning using Brightspace by D2L
- pay fees and request waivers
- register for transportation and lunch supervision
- book parent-teacher conferences
- submit online school forms (required for the 2022-23 school year)
You will need your email address on file at the school, as well as the student’s CBE ID. This can be found on:
- SchoolEngage student profile for families that registered their child using SchoolEngage.
Note | For a visual guide on how to find the CBE ID within SchoolEngage, refer to SchoolEnage CBE Student ID - CBE Report Card, beside the child's name
- CBE ID card
See the support page for instructions on signing up for a MyCBE account or accessing an existing account.
Your MyCBE account is used as long as your child remains at CBE from kindergarten to Grade 12, so please register with an email that will be active during this period.
School Transportation
Bus stop locations and routes are posted in MyCBE. If you register after the deadline, your child will be placed at the closest available stop with space. Please note processing may take up to six weeks. Families are responsible for transportation until registration is confirmed.
