Your Parent Volunteer Society is proud to once again offer greeting cards created from YOUR CHILD’S artwork! Cards will be delivered to your child in early May, prior to Mother’s Day.

- To view your child’s art, send a request to PineStreetStudentArt@gmail.com with the name of your child and the teacher.
- We will only be accepting payment via e-transfer this year. To place an order, reply to the email to view art with the number of sets of 10 cards that you’d like to purchase. Send an e-transfer to the same email address. Please ensure the password is “artcards” (lower case, one word). In the message to recipient portion, please include your child(ren)’s name(s).
- The deadline to order is Wednesday, March 23rd. Payment must be received by this date to ensure your cards are delivered by May.

Have Your Say! The 2022 EIPS Parent Survey is Available March 14-27
Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) wants to hear from you. Make sure to complete the 2022 EIPS Parent Survey—open March 14-27.
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.
Click HERE TO TAKE THE SURVEY: Available March 14-27
NOTE: The survey is anonymous and only takes a few minutes to complete. If you want to share the experience of more than one child attending an EIPS school, simply complete the survey again.
