Principal's Message
We have wrapped up our seventh week of school and couldn’t be happier with how the year has progressed so far despite a few challenges. Monday is a professional development day where staff will be learning about First Nation’s in the morning and making goals for students in the afternoon. Even though we are a school of 300, we truly aim to serve each student and know them as an individual person and learner. Part of our work on Monday will help us work towards that goal. This week was our first week of incorporating a daily mental health curriculum into our morning classes. Please ask you student(s) for any feedback they may have on the daily mental health messages. If you have not done so yet, please check your student(s) PowerSchool to see what their current achievement is in their classes, including missed assignments. You can also access your fees due and pay them online in the web browser. Fees cannot be paid through the app. We welcome your feedback and comments so feel free to email me at gregory.cruickshank@eips.ca

Improving Home-School Communication
To enhance communication between families and schools, Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) has developed a how-to guide entitled, “Communication Protocol for Schools.” Topics include appropriate channels to use, standard formats and structures, timing and sequencing for regular and ongoing home-school communication, and ways to bring forward questions or concerns. The guide also offers useful tools and resources schools and families can use to enhance face-to-face meetings, email communication and various social media efforts.

School Fees
Pay School Fees Online!
School fee information for the 2021-22 school year is expected to be posted on the PowerSchool Parent Portal by late September. All fees are due within 30 days of being posted. To access your fee information, simply log in to the PowerSchool Parent Portal and go to “Student Fees.” There you can view your fees and pay online using Visa, MasterCard or debit card—when available from your financial institution.
Don’t forget to log in to the PowerSchool Parent Portal regularly throughout the year. Fees are often added to your child’s account to cover the cost of certain school activities such as field trips, class projects, athletic-team fees and more. Additionally, junior high and senior high fees can change as courses are added and deleted.
If circumstances exist where you’re unable to pay your school fees, you can apply to have fees waived by submitting an Application for a Waiver of Fees. The application deadline is Dec. 15, 2021.
