ACHIEVING SUCCESS TOGETHER - RÉUSSIR ENSEMBLE
May 9, 2022
There are also tutorials available in Hindi, Spanish, Tagalog and Tigrinya.
It's Great To Connect With You Again!
The weather has changed and so too has the energy in our building. Students are excited to be outside and active during break times. At the same time, we want to remain focused on the academic success and wellness of our students.
You can reach out to our staff should you have any questions or inquiries about your child's academic progress. You can find the staff directory here.
School Council Meeting
On May 16, 2022, at 7:00 pm, we will host a hybrid school council meeting. We will host an in-person meeting in the Staff Room. We will also welcome any parents virtually through Zoom.
Parents and guardians play an important role in student success. School councils allow parents to participate in decisions that impact student learning. By contributing knowledge, perspective, and ideas at school council meetings, parents actively contribute to the success of the school community.
If you are interested in joining virtually through Zoom, please email Pam Boyson, the Chair of our School Council at ecksparentcouncil@gmail.com to request the Zoom link.
ECKS Track Day
With the change in date for the ECKS track day, we need parents to help us out and volunteer. We are hoping to find parents to act as timekeepers, supervision of students with teachers, and concession help between 11:00 - 1:00. If you are able to help out please contact Mrs. Ellert at jellert@brsd.ab.ca as soon as possible. We appreciate any and all help! Proceeds from the concessions will go to support the purchase of our LiveStream Equipment, school Chromebooks, and outdoor equipment.

Bussing Applications - 2021/2022 School Year
ECKS Soccer Club
Tom has had coaching experience in both the youth and university levels. Tom is a strong advocate for soccer and is hoping to continue to grow the sport in our community.
This year, our soccer club will play in memory of Conlan Davey, an ECKS student who passed away earlier this year. Conlan was a major soccer buff who dedicated many hours to the game of soccer. Conlan had a love for the game and encouraged all those around him to be their best. While students build their skills, we will also dedicate our time together to play in memory of Conlan. We hope to see you out!
