Elk Island Public Schools’ (EIPS) returning student registration closes on Monday, February 24. All current students, except Grade 12, must complete the online Returning Student Registration Form to confirm their enrolment in a school and program for the upcoming 2025-26 school year. Additionally, students who want to attend a non-designated school or program need to make that request through the returning student registration process—acceptance is based on available space. All current EIPS students are required to complete the form by Feb. 24, 2025.

To complete your child’s returning student registration, refer to the Returning Student Registration Form email you received from Elk Island Public Schools through Permission Click on February 10. Families will receive one email for each student. No log in is required to complete the form.

For more information, contact the school directly.

We are excited to announce the launch of our Family Mental Wellness Challenge, running from February 24th to March 20th.

You may be wondering how this will work... Well, each student will receive a passport with pages including a QR code and reflection questions. When scanned with a digital device, the code will take you to a short video. After watching the video, we encourage you to discuss the reflection questions with your family! Once you've completed the video and discussion, please sign at the bottom of the page.

At the end of the challenge, every student who has all four passport pages signed will be entered into a draw to win a Family Prize Basket. Completed passports must be submitted by Thursday, March 20th. The winner will be announced on Friday, March 21st, just in time to enjoy the basket over Spring Break!

If you have any questions, feel free to email julia.knudsen@eips.ca.

Thank you and good luck!

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

Kindergarten registration for the 2025-26 school year opened 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.

Additional information regarding Westboro Elementary's kindergarten program is available at www.westboroelementary.ca/about/kindergarten
