Inclement Weather

With the winter season already here, we want to remind parents to dress children appropriately for the weather when getting ready for school or the bus. The weather often changes unexpectedly throughout the day, so please select suitable outerwear and ensure your child is prepared for changing conditions.

If inclement weather conditions occur, Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) advises parents of any bus cancellations using various communications tools—automated-telephone messages, alerts posted on www.eips.ca and school websites, Twitter, Facebook, local radio stations and on Versatrans My Stop. Any morning bus cancellations are posted on www.eips.ca by 6:30 a.m.

Decisions regarding bus cancellations are guided by EIPS administrative procedures that states, “school bus service may be suspended…when Environment Canada reports a temperature of -40 C.” Other reasons for suspending or delaying school bus services include adverse weather and poor road condition.

When school bus services are suspended, schools remain open to students. EIPS believes parents have the right and responsibility to make choices for their children based on their beliefs and perceptions of safety during times of inclement weather.

For more information, contact EIPS Student Transportation at 780-417-8151.

Hope that is helpful!

What happens during lunch? Is there a cafeteria?

All students will be paying a lunch fee this year.  Students will start the school year with the privilege of eating with their friends in various locations around the school.  They will not have an assigned room.  Once they have finished eating they can continue to socialize with their friends, meet with their club, play with their peers on an intramural team or go outside.

 

What do I need to do when picking up my child during the school day?

Students are not permitted to leave the school building or grounds during the instructional day.  This includes the morning break and lunch. Nevertheless, from time to time a student may be required to leave school early for an appointment, emergency, or due to illness.  All students must checkout at the office prior to leaving the building.  A parent note, phone call, or contact is required if the student is leaving.
