❄️Inclement Weather Reminders❄️
With typical Alberta weather we never know what we will get. Some days will be wet and some days will be cold. What matters is that we all dress appropriately for outdoor activities no matter the weather.
This week our weather is warming up and as the snow melts comes wet conditions. Please ensure your child(ren) have an extra set of clothes in their school bag. Tip: Label extra clothing to leave at school such as socks, underwear, pants and shirt.
*Please also ensure your child has appropriate indoor footwear in the event of an unplanned evacuation.

High School Summer School Registration
Summer School 2024 registration opens March 15- EIPS is offering more course offerings than in the past to create more opportunities for students and families. Students can take up to 10 credits in Summer School. See the pamphlet below or https://www.eipsnextstep.ca/ regarding updated information, registration, and programming.
Kindergarten Registration Starts Soon!
Is your child turning five on or before December 31, 2024? If so, it’s almost time to register for kindergarten.
Kindergarten registration opens for the 2024-25 school year on February 1, 2024.
To help families prepare, Elk Island Public Schools has put together an online EIPS Kindergarten Tool kit to make the transition as smooth as possible. The kit includes information on registration, important dates, programming options, what to expect, eligibility, how to find your designated school, transportation and more.
Additional information regarding Lakeland Ridge’s kindergarten program is available at Lakelandridge.ca.
Returning Student Registration: 2024-25
Mark your calendars! Returning student registration for the 2024-25 school year will take place February 8-21, 2024.
Families of all current students—with the exception of graduating Grade 12 students—must complete the process to confirm the school their child plans to attend in the 2024-25 school year or advise the Division of their plans not to return to EIPS. Additionally, students who want to attend a non-designated school need to make that request through the returning student registration process—acceptance is based on available space. Watch for more details in the new year.
