Leadership Message
Growing Brains, Sharing Smiles...
We want to make you aware of a couple of upcoming opportunities for you as parents to also grow your brains! On Monday, October 23rd at 7;30pm EICS will be hosting Sister Helena Burns on the topic of media choices for our youth. Please see the flyer below for more information. This is a free event! The second opportunity is the 15th Annual Literacy and Learning day that is that is taking place on October 28th, at the Northlands Expo Center in Edmonton. There will be keynote addresses from Barbara Coloroso and Alyson Schafer along with many other workshops during the day. Please see the brochure below for more information. We hope you have the opportunity to take in one or both of these events!

Keeping our school safe...Visiting the school
We are committed to ensuring a safe school for your children. Parents and visitors we ask you to please sign in at the office before walking the halls of the school. We ask, if you are volunteering or coming into the school for ANY reason, please sign in and let us know you are here in the building. Our responsibility in the office is knowing who is in the building at all times, especially in the case of emergency.
We also would like to kindly ask parents to wait outside at the doors for your children to be dismissed. Our halls become far too congested to have and extra bodies at the end of the day and students are working hard to learn routines. Thank-you for your cooperation and assistance with ensuring JV is a safe place for all students.
