Summer St. John XXIII Office Hours
2022-2023 EICS Transportation Changes
Elk Island Public Schools and Elk Island Catholic Schools are expanding their cooperative student transportation agreement. This will help reduce the impact of higher insurance and fuel costs, increase direct busing for students where feasible, reduce carbon footprint and address capacity issues for both divisions. The expanded partnership is good news for both EIPS and EICS, as student transportation represents a significant expense for Alberta Education and school divisions.
Elk Island Public Schools will be sending out tentative schedules and invoices for students currently riding a bus in Fort Saskatchewan and surrounding areas. If you are not currently on a bus, but wish to register for busing for the 22-23 school year, please contact EIPS Student Transportation directly at st@eips.ca or 780-417-8151. All payments are made through EIPS
You can find your child's 9 digit Alberta Student Number on their Semester One report card in PowerSchool.
