Dear Sabre Families,


Welcome back!


We hope you had a good summer and we are so looking forward to seeing our students back to school.

If you require assistance with your PowerSchool Parent Portal account please email the school at salattendance@eips.ca


Student Registration:

Student registration will allow students the opportunity to have pictures taken for school identification and for accessing your lockers. Locker assignments will be visible on the Student PowerSchool Portal starting the day of the student’s grade registration.


Student registration dates are as follows.


  • August 24 - Grade 12

  • August 25 - Grade 11

  • August 26- Grade 10


With the goal of social distancing, please note the following times for all grade levels during the outlined registration dates.


  • A-E 8:30 am

  • F-J 9:00 am

  • K-O 9:30 am

  • P-T 10:00 am

  • U-Z 10:30 am


Following Alberta Health Services Guidelines and Elk Island Public Schools schools re - entry plan, please note that masks are mandatory during our return to school and registration.


For further information on EIPS re-entry safety protocols, in alliance with Alberta Health Services, please visit: https://www.alberta.ca/k-to-12-school-re-entry-2020-21-school-year.aspx


Unlike previous years, students are returning using a staggered entry—meaning only certain grades start back on September 1, 2020. The next day, another grade group comes to the school, and so on. The staggered entry allows students and families to ease into the new experience of attending school. It also helps schools explain to students the new routine and health and safety measures before a full restart takes place.


  • September 1 - 30 level courses

  • September 2 - 20/30 level courses

  • September 3 - all courses


With the global pandemic and a return to school, we understand there are many questions that families may have with safety protocols and the pedagogy of learning under a quarter system. Hence, Administration will be running a ‘Q and A’ on August 27, 2020 for families for each grade level via Google meet. Stay tuned next week with specific times and how to access this meeting.


Should you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.


Take care,


Sunny Sandhu
