Principal's Message
Sabre Families,
We hope everyone had a good Spring break and Easter weekend. We are excited to get back and have a strong finish to Quarter 3 next week and an equally strong start to Quarter 4 in a couple of weeks time.
As a refresher, our Quarter 3 final day of classes is April 14, and the full exam schedule is posted below.
April, May, June really seem like one month as time always seems to absolutely fly by as we close the school year. With that, we are looking forward to celebrating the grad class of 2021 in June! This group of exceptional Grade 12 SAL students have gone through so much with the safety protocols and restrictions in place. They have demonstrated tremendous leadership and have really mentored our Grade 10s and 11s through such a difficult time. This graduating class of 2021 is unquestionably a special one and we will honor them accordingly.
There has been a lot of work that has gone into Grad already and a lot that will continue to happen in the next twelve weeks in making this a momentous and memorable experience for our students and families. More Information about Graduation is below.
While we can see the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ with more vaccinations in sight, we are also aware of the rising case numbers in Alberta. As a reminder, please be mindful and follow the Covid-19 guidelines. CLICK HERE
Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions or concerns.
Take care and stay well.

Tags are usually single words, and the importance of each tag is shown with font size or color. Please fill out this Google Form with one word that you would use to describe your graduate. We will collect these words and create the Wordle to be displayed during Grad 2021 ceremony.

EIPS Parent Survey
Have your say! The 2021 EIPS Parent Survey is Now Open
Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) wants to hear from you. Make sure to complete the 2021 EIPS Parent Survey—open from April 6-20.
Annually, EIPS conducts a parent survey to gauge its progress toward meeting the goals and priorities outlined in its Four-Year Education Plan. Families are asked a series of questions about their experiences with EIPS and the school their child attends, the overall performance of the Division, the quality of education being provided to students and areas for improvement. The survey feedback helps the Division develop new strategies to better serve students and the wider community.
Plus, new this year, the survey includes a Part B, featuring questions about the Division’s priorities, goals and outcomes. As you know, in fall 2021, EIPS welcomes a new locally elected Board of Trustees. Your feedback will help the incoming Board develop a new EIPS Four-Year Education Plan—one that’s responsive to student and community needs and focused on continuous improvement.
NOTE: The survey is anonymous and doesn't take long to complete. If you want to share the experience of more than one child attending an EIPS school, simply complete the survey again.
