We can't wait to see you on Wednesday, Sept. 11 for our Meet the Staff evening! The purpose of the Meet the Staff is for families to learn about the St. John team, place faces to names, see your child's learning environments, and build teacher-parent connections.
On Wednesday, we will meet in the gym at 5:00 for prayer and introductions, then your child's teacher will offer two different presentation times either 5:30 or 6:00. This will give you an opportunity to find out more about the learning that will take place in your child's classroom this year.
Your Kindergarten child will be receiving their Kanga Pouch the week of Sept. 16-19.
The fee will be added to your child's PowerSchool account before the end of September. If you already have a Kanga Pouch, please email the school at stj@eics.ab.ca to let us know.
2024-2025 Yearly Consent
In order for your child to be permitted to use technology in school and participate in field trips, parents must digitally consent by filling out the 2024-2025 Yearly Consent forms.
Please log into your PowerSchool Parent Portal account and complete each of these consent forms as they are past due.
Here is a link to an instructional video, which can be found on the Parent Technology Handbook - PowerSchool for Parents page on the EICS website, if you require further assistance.
Does your child have medical information, a condition the school should be aware of or require medication? If so please complete a B.2) 2024-2025 Medical Status Update/Request for Medical Treatment form located in your Parent Portal . This form is required yearly. We use this important information to alert any staff members, including substitute teachers, of any existing medical needs we need to be aware of. If your child requires medication at school you must fill out the medical form with all relevant information related to the medication.
If your child requires use of an EpiPen, please make sure this is filled out by September 3rd, 2024. Please submit all other medical forms by Friday, September 6th, 2024. If your child no longer has a medical condition, please update the form accordingly.
Please note:
- All medications, even over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol, Benadryl etc. require a label from the pharmacy
- the submission of a Medical Form is required prior to medication being sent to the school
If you need assistance, please click the Medical Form link found on our website.
If you wish to register your child for the bus or change your current route due to changing schools, please contact the Student Transportation Department of EIPS at (780) 417-8151 or st@eips.ca.
St John has an incredible connection between home and school; one way you can be a part of that connection is by participating in our school council.
If you have a child enrolled in our school, you are automatically a part of the school council, so congratulations!
That means you are welcome to attend our school council meetings, where you can partner with teachers and administration to help in decision-making, fundraising, and learning about your child’s school experience here at St John. It is also a great way to connect with other parents within the school.
Our meetings are held monthly in the evenings.. You are welcome to attend all or any meetings. Your commitment to school council is up to you. We do have executive positions that are voted on in the fall, and we also have those parents who simply choose to attend when their schedule allows it.
One of the great things we do on our school council is support the programming at St John with our fundraising. Our parents organize the hot lunch program, the school yearbook, and special events such as our Halloween dance, hot dogs on fun days, and our year-end community events.
We are always looking to have new faces around the table. We really hope that you will consider joining us at our School Council Meetings.
We are so blessed to be able to have our school and parish work together to walk with you and your child on their Sacramental Journeys. Father Carlos and our Sacramental Prep team will be offering Sacramental Prep classes at St. John XXIII after school from 3:15 - 3:45 on the following dates:
