Lakeland Ridge Weekly Update!
Friday, September 10, 2021
Hello Lakeland Ridge families,
Kindergarten began this week. It was wonderful to see the hallways filled with so many "little" smiles!
We will have our first School Council meeting on Tuesday, September 14 at 6:30 pm. We will be meeting virtually using "Microsoft Teams". At our first meeting, we will be selecting our School Council Executive for the 2021-22 school year. The agenda and link for the meeting can be found on our school website.
Mask Reminder
- Maks are mandatory for all staff and students in kindergarten through Grade 12.
- Any and all visitors to EIPS schools and buildings must adhere to EIPS’ mandatory masking requirement.
Please carefully read the EIPS Operations Guidelines 2021-22 and EIPS Operations Frequently Asked Questions documents that were sent out to families.
Visitors in Schools
All visitors, couriers, and contractors must sign in at the front main doors and check-in at the office, complete the COVID-19 Alberta Health Daily Checklist, and be wearing a mask properly.
If any of the answers to the questions are “YES,” DO NOT enter the school or workplace.
Similarly, if feeling unwell or have COVID-19 symptoms—fever, cough, runny nose, sore throat, shortness of breath, loss of smell and taste, aches, pink-eye, nausea —DO NOT enter an EIPS-operated school or workplace.
ATHLETICS UPDATE FOR 2021/2022 SCHOOL YEAR
Volleyball is underway and Cross Country will begin shortly. Please be sure to check out our "Athletics Calendar" on our website. The calendar will be updated regularly.
In order to limit the potential spread of COVID-19 during EIPS athletic events, spectators are not permitted at practices and games at this time. We ask that when dropping off or picking up student athletes outside the school, parents and guardians maintain a 2-metre distance from other families.
This will be consistent in all EIPS buildings as we follow the Metro Athletics guide.

Lakeland Ridge Jr High Agendas
The agenda is an important classroom tool in school as it helps with communication between the school and home and assists students with organization and preparation. We have a limited amount of Jr High LLR agendas. The agendas are available on a first-come, first-served basis until our supply has been depleted. A form went home with each Jr High student, if you wish to have an agenda for your Jr High student, complete and return to the office.
Required Forms
The division has developed a series of forms all families are required to review and submit at the start of the school year to support school operations. All forms are available through your PowerSchool Parent Portal. If you have trouble accessing your Parent Portal account, contact your child’s school for assistance.
