EIPS High School Information Night
To help you make an informed decision about senior high, EIPS is hosting a Division high school information night. All EIPS students in grades 8 and 9 and their families are invited to attend to learn more about the senior high program. The session will provide information about senior high courses, instruction, programming and extracurricular opportunities throughout the Division, as well as details about diploma requirements and various career path options.
Join us at our EIPS High School Information Night - Jan 30, 6:00pm at The Park Church
Athletics Corner
Our teams started off the season with a bang! The Jr teams both defeated Rudolph Hennig, playing a great game! The Sr girls also beat RHJ and the Sr boys narrowly lost by only 2 points.
The Jr teams compete in the EIPS Tournament this weekend at SCA and SCA Elementary! Stay tuned to our athletics calendar for game updates. Good luck to our teams!!
Can’t wait to see what these talented athletes do next week!

Semester 2 Course Change Requests (coming soon)
Semester 2 begins on Tuesday, January 31, 2023 (Day 1 in our school cycle).
Course change requests will be considered once our first 6 Day cycle of Sem. 2 is complete and then a link to the Course Request form will be provided.
Please note: This is a REQUEST form. We do not guarantee that you can make changes to your schedule but we will consider your request and do our best.
RESET Room Update!
As you enter the new location of our RESET Room you will find yourself welcomed by our lovely Ms. Bullerkist. The space is fashioned with calm lighting and music and flexible seating.
Though the library has shrunk by a few feet to accommodate the RESET Room it has allowed us to reconfigure our furniture to create a more comfortable, lounge-like space. The Library/Learning Commons can be used as a space for structured classroom time to work, research and exchange library books but also place to relax and chill out in the company of a school mate, Mrs. Todoschuk or just by yourself.
**Please note: The entrance to the Library/Learning Commons is now accessed from the hallway near Mr. Go's room.
Canteen Volunteers and Menu
Volunteering for shifts in our SWH Canteen with Mrs. Braun is an excellent way to help prepare our students for the world of work. These opportunities help students build confidence, increase skill range, and feel successful as they work towards entering post-secondary or the workforce.
