Following the Still Small Voice

Religion 35 students have fun learning about the connections between Conscience and the Holy Spirit as they study Ethics and Morality in block 4 at the end of the day. Distractions in life can overwhelm which only highlights the need for Faith Formation in our lives.

Demographic Confirmation Forms

The “EICS Demographic Confirmation Form” for the 2023-2024 school year, is now available for you to complete and submit, for each of your children attending an Elk Island Catholic School. The form is found online in your PowerSchool Parent Portal and you may have received an email regarding updating this info.

This form is a mandatory document and is required to be updated for every student each year, and is needed especially for local field trips and athletic trips as there is a digital permission form that is required for students to use our STMY buses.

Please contact our school secretary, Margaret Michaelchuk at 780-632-3934, if you have any questions or require assistance.

STMY Athletics Website

St. Mary's Catholic School is excited to announce the launch of their new Athletics Schedule Page, aimed at keeping students, parents, and the wider community informed about upcoming sporting events.

The Athletics Schedule Page is an initiative by the school's sports department to provide easy access to all the athletic activities taking place at St. Mary's. Whether it's practices, games, tournaments, or fundraising, this page will serve as a one-stop destination for all information related to the school's athletic events.

With this new platform, students and parents can stay up to date with game schedules, ensuring that they never miss an opportunity to cheer on their favorite St. Mary's teams. The page will include details about both home and away games, along with any necessary information about transportation or other logistical aspects.

If your child is on a sport team please download the TeamLinkt App and we will be sending out invitation codes to the specific team your child is on so you will have access to the chat function and schedules for that team. Thank you for being patient with us as we iron out the kinks in this new system.
