Planning Ahead Together
Looking ahead to next year, it is time to set priorities that will be reflected in ÉPK's school's budget process. In order to ensure your parent voice is part of this equation, please take a few moments to complete this 4 question survey.
The results will be reviewed and discussed on April 25 at the ÉPK School Council Meeting. We hope to see you there.

Eye on Learning
Alternative seating
Hands-on vocabulary
Students receiving small group French support build sentences with vocabulary cards that are colour coded for their parts of speech
Guided Reading
Students working in small groups with their teacher to learn reading skills at their own pace and level
Rite to Learn Center (RLC) – Sherwood Park & Area
Free tutoring for students diagnosed with Learning Difficulties in reading and writing (dyslexia/dysgraphia).
Looking for students and volunteers
The RLC is presently serving young students (grade 3-6) with a possibility of increasing numbers. The center is volunteered based, hence the opportunity for free tutoring. If you are looking for a way to give back, this is a good opportunity for those who are looking to make a difference in a young person's educational success.
There are two ways to help.
1) Monitor: Minimal time commitment (once or twice a week or month) where you greet parents and students as well as checking in on the sessions every so often to verify all is going well.
2) Tutor: You will work with the students directly. This is a larger commitment of one hour twice a week for about 2-3 years. All training is free.
Location: École Père Kenneth Kearns Catholic School
