2024-24 RHJ Course Selection
We will open elective course registration on April 15th by noon. This will be done in PowerSchool. This is not a first come, first served system. This process allows us to gauge student interest and create the programming that best suits our students. Not all options are guaranteed. However, we will do our best to try to accommodate as many requests as possible. Each 2024-25 Grade 8 student will be asked to choose four options and two alternative options to be used if one or two of the four preferred options do not fit into their schedule. 2024-25 Grade 9 students will choose five options and two alternative options. The screen will look like the picture below. We ask that you complete the elective course selection by April 29th. We ask parents to register in PowerSchool as we want parents and guardians to talk with their students about which options they might like, and consider the fee for the option.

Student Homerooms
Please complete the student information form linked here. This helps us make our homerooms for next year. While we can’t guarantee each student will get to be with their best friend, we will do our best to consider placing one or two friends together if appropriate.

A big THANK YOU to EIPS Volunteers
National Volunteer Week takes place April 14-20. On behalf of the Board of Trustees at Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS), I want to extend my most heartfelt thanks to all EIPS volunteers. Every time you’ve contributed, whether it was helping on a class field trip or planning a school event for families to enjoy, you were there at a moment when we needed you. Students needed you, staff needed you, the community needed you—and you answered the call. These are moments that matter and are ones that make a difference in a student’s experience at their school.
So, thank you again for being there. Without you, EIPS would not be what it is today, and schools wouldn’t be able to do all the wonderful things they do. This National Volunteer Week, I encourage everyone to celebrate the hundreds of volunteers and thousands of hours put into supporting student growth and achievement at schools across the Division.
Cathy Allen Chair, EIPS Board of Trustees
