Saint John XXIII Catholic School 2021-2022
Happy Father's Day
Every challenge, every experience provided an opportunity to become more and more of who they are today. Students will continue to be challenged and grow, each time adding rich colours to the masterpieces they are. Our students are now ready to spread their wings and leap from the Saint John XXIII nest into the exciting new adventures and opportunities waiting for them at St. John Paul II! Each one of them have made their mark on us and we are grateful for the time we were able to share in their journeys.

Lost & Found Items
2022-2023 Supply Lists
Staples is offering special pricing for parents from Elk Island Catholic Schools. You may choose to get your school supplies from Staples or from another retail store. Stay tuned for more information this week about the 2022-2023 lists.
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.

Grade 4: One-to-One Technology
Students entering grade 4 in the fall will need to bring a device to school as another tool for learning. EICS recommends Chromebooks as the ideal device due to price, battery life, fast startup, and usability.
