ÉPK will be hosting an Open House on Thursday, February 15 at 7:00pm for all who have registered and those who are thinking about registering at ÉPK. Come meet the staff, our Student Leadership Team and community partners who make up the ÉPK team. Connect with staff and students from our two other French Immersion schools, École Our Lady of Perpetual Help and Archbishop Jordan High School. Meet and connect with our PreKindergarten staff, OLPH Parish team, as well as our Out-of-School Care team. Win prizes for touring the school and completing a passport. Enjoy some homemade snacks just like when family gets together. We start all together in the gym at 7:00pm and passport guided tours will follow.
Champions de la Santé (Health Champions)
We will be following Archbishop Smith's recommendations to celebrate Valentine's day on February 13th to truly honour the importance of Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent. So we will be celebrating Shrove Tuesday, Carnaval and St. Valentine all on the same day.
Here is an awesome recipe for muffins that would work well as a school birthday treat too!
EICS's future configuration in Sherwood Park
You're invited to participate in the plan for EICS's future configuration in Sherwood Park.
At the February 6th Coffee House Chat and Open House at Archbishop Jordan Catholic School, EICS Board of Trustees and EICS Central Learning Services Administration shared four boundary and school configuration scenarios that the EICS Board of Trustees is now looking for your feedback on.
EICS has provided background information on the current ThoughtExchange consultation and a link to the questions and answers documents that may help you in providing feedback.
Please click the link below to view the four scenarios and access the link to the survey for your feedback.
