Go Cougars Go! Thank you to all the players, parents, and everyone else who made this season such a success! We finished the season as league champions, and it was an amazing team to be a part of right from the very beginning. We are so lucky to have 13 athletes who not only excel skill-wise but are also positive, charismatic, and caring teammates. We have no doubt that each and every one of you will go far and find success in whatever you do.

To our grade 9's, we will miss you! Good luck tackling a new school, new teams, and new challenges! To our grade 8's, we'll see you in the gym next year to chase down another gold medal!

We are so proud of the work the girls put in, and the progress they made in what feels like such a quick amount of time. Most of our team was new to basketball and we placed 3rd in the league, a HUGE achievement. Thank you to players for supporting each other and giving it your best in both games and practices, to parents for driving the kids out to every game and practice and supporting the team even when no spectators were allowed.

As coaches, we will miss your intensity, drive, and passion for the game, but we will mostly miss the fun times we had with such a caring and funny group of people. Good luck on future endeavors, we will be cheering you on from the sidelines !

Lakeland Ridge is once again partnering with the Saffron Centre to deliver a free parent/caregiver session on Monday, March 21 from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.

We would like to invite all EIPS parents to join us for the presentation titled Foundations of Connection: How to Communicate with Your Youth.

The session will also address healthy habits and how to recognize healthy or unhealthy behaviours in others.

The presentation will take place virtually through Microsoft Teams.

Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) wants to hear from you about your experience with the Division and your school. Make sure to share your thoughts by completing the 2022 EIPS Parent Survey—open from March 14-27.

Annually, EIPS conducts a parent survey to gauge its progress toward meeting the goals and priorities outlined in its Four-Year Education Plan. Families are asked a series of questions about their experiences with EIPS and the school their child attends, the overall performance of the Division, the quality of education being provided to students and areas for improvement. The survey feedback helps the Division develop new strategies to better serve students and the wider community.

TAKE THE SURVEY NOW!
Survey closes March 27, 2022

NOTE: The survey is anonymous and only takes a few minutes to complete. If you want to share the experience of more than one child attending an EIPS school, simply complete the survey again.

To complement the 2022 Parent Survey, the Division’s also conducting a student survey with learners in Grade 9 and Grade 12. Students will complete the survey in class between March 14-27. Similar to the parent survey, the questions focus on the student’s experience with the Division and their school. EIPS will share the results from the parent and student surveys before the end of the school year.

Join us to learn about elements of healthy relationships including boundaries and consent. We will explore the language we can use and how to develop healthy habits with your children. We will also discuss how to teach children about consent, conflict, and how to recognize healthy or unhealthy behaviours in others.
