Some Last Minute 2023/24 School Year Reminders:

Report card marks and comments are now available for viewing through PowerSchool.

We will have staggered entry on the first two days of school next school year. This will allow staff more time to connect with students, adjust schedules and options and go over any new changes to our school year. We will not be using FLEX days next year and early out Thursday's will have the students going home for the entire afternoon matching BRSD for transportation purposes. An updated bell schedule will be shared this Fall prior to students arriving at school.

TUES/WED Sept. 5 & 6- Staggered start (half of each class/grade each day) as per schedule below.

THURSDAY Sept. 7- First full day with ALL students in the building.

ALL students in grades 5-12 should attend school next school year on the following days according to last name:

Tuesday, September 5th - A-K

Wednesday, September 6th - L-Z

Thursday, September 7th - ALL students attend

FOR 2023-2024 School Year *LOCKS MUST PURCHASED THROUGH OLMP SCHOOL ONLY-NO OUTSIDE LOCKS*

Our schedule for next year is not quite finalized; we are expecting this to occur by mid-August where class placements will be available for viewing through Powerschool. We appreciate your patience with this aspect of our planning. We wish you all a wonderful summer and look forward to welcoming you again in the Fall. God bless all of our families during summer break.

Summer blessings from your 2023-2024 OLMP Admin Team!

Email jaymier@eics.ab.ca to book a 30-45 minute appointment on Monday, August 28th, to tour the school and meet with Mrs. Helen Rodin about your child. Actions for Healthy Communities will be present to support your family in the meeting. Bring immigration papers and school records.

High school students will be able to view their timetables on PowerSchool in mid-August.

From August 21st-24th, students can fill out a Course Request form. Timetable changes will be made in the order they are completed, with preference given to students needing to fulfill graduation and university entrance requirements and only with valid academic concerns, such as:

• Spares in grade 9 or 10 schedule
• Failure to meet the prerequisites for a course
  
• Concern about the difficulty level of a course and would like to select a course that will ensure academic success
• A prerequisite course has been placed in the wrong order (i.e. the 20-level before the 10-level)
• Enrolled in the wrong course (does not match MyBlueprint request).

On August 28th, any outstanding concerns with grades 10-12 can be completed through in-person appointments only. Grade 9s can complete changes September 5-6th. Students should keep an eye on their email, the week of August 21-24th with all details for course changes.

Dear Families of Students with ISPs/RSPs:

Final ISP/RSP reviews are required before the end of the school year. These important documents are acknowledged through PowerSchool. If you have questions, please contact your child's homeroom teacher or Mrs. Froehler (grades 5-8) or Mrs. Reinhart (grades 9-12). Thank you for your continued support.

Due to exciting changes for the 23/24 school year, Transportation registration will open June 12, 2023, at 8 am. ALL eligible riders will need to re-register for next school year. Please register by using the online Transportation Registration form located on the BRSD website: https://www.brsd.ab.ca/families/transportation/registration

We ask that you complete this form in PowerSchool by Friday, June 30, 2023.

You can perform the following steps to access, review and submit the form:

1) Log into PowerSchool at https://powerschool.eics.ab.ca
