- Supports offered for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit students
- We thank all families for joining us in our initial gathering and sharing your stories. We were grateful to all who attended our initial meeting. As we started with words from Elder Wilson and took time to meet each other, we did not get through the full agenda from our first gathering. We will ensure we cover the missed topics and answer your questions in the second gathering. Here is what we hope to share on March 9:
- EIPS First Nations, Metis and Inuit team mandate
- What self-identification is and what it means
- What supports are in place for self-identified students
- Time for Q and A

Returning Student Registration (2021-22 school year) from Feb 1-28, 2021
Families of all returning students must complete the process to confirm the school their child plans to attend in the 2021-22 school year. Additionally, students who want to attend a non-designated school need to make that request through the returning student registration process—acceptance is based on available space.
FR Haythorne is an open boundary school for the upcoming school year.
Access to the Returning Student Registration Form is provided through the PowerSchool Parent Portal. If you don’t have a PowerSchool Parent Portal account, you need to set one up before Feb. 1, 2021.
Caregiver Education Series
Alberta Health Services is hosting a series of caregiver information sessions focused on ways to support students’ mental health. The sessions are free and geared toward parents, caregivers, teachers and community members who want to learn more about challenges impacting children and adolescents. This year, session topics include anxiety, ADHD, depression, self-harm, technology, teens and teaching leadership skills, and more.
