Is your child considering the Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) Junior High Honours program for the coming school year? The program is designed for students in grades 8 and 9 with high achievement in their core courses and who enjoy a challenging academic environment.

Applications for the 2025-26 EIPS Junior High Honours program are open until 11:59pm on Sunday, January 26th.

When applications open, the parent/guardian on file in PowerSchool identified as the Permission Click contact for all current grades 7 and 8 students will receive an email through Permission Click outlining the application process for the program—including a link to an application form.

Refer to the EIPS Junior High Honours program information page for details about specific courses within the program and eligibility requirements.

For next week's strategy, we are going to ask the students to look around the room and quietly find...

• 1 thing that is red
• 1 thing that is orange
• 1 thing that is yellow
• 1 thing that is green
• 1 thing that is blue

They can choose to write them down or keep them in their head.

This strategy switches your mind to focus on a different task which allows you to take a moment from the stress or anxiety you might be having. This focused attention strategy is one that you can easily use when in the classroom and is great for a mind reset when writing tests or whenever you may need!

To try out previous week's regulation strategies, check out the Regulation Strategies page on our school website.

Is your child turning five on or before Dec. 31, 2025? If so, it’s almost time to register for kindergarten.

Kindergarten registration opens for the 2025-26 school year on Feb. 1, 2025. To help families prepare, Elk Island Public Schools has put together an online EIPS Kindergarten Tool kit to make the transition as smooth as possible. The kit includes information on registration, important dates, programming options, what to expect, eligibility, how to find your designated school, transportation and more.

The Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) returning student registration process for 2025-26 takes place Feb. 10-24, 2025. Through the online form, all families will confirm the school and program their child will attend next year or advise the Division if they aren’t returning. For students who want to attend a non-designated school next year, these requests must be submitted through the returning student registration process—acceptance is based on available space.

On February 10, the parent/guardian on file in PowerSchool identified as the Permission Click contact for each pre-kindergarten to Grade 11 student will receive an email through Permission Click with a link to the form. If your family hasn’t received any Permission Click forms this school year, contact the school office so we can investigate any technical issues before registration season.

High School Open Houses

To help students and their families make informed decisions about next school year, senior high schools across the Division will host open houses throughout the upcoming registration season to share information about specific courses, programming and extracurricular opportunities available.
