Dear Parents,
As we prepare for our upcoming Remembrance Day ceremony on November 8th, we would like to honor the brave men and women who have served in the military. We invite you to send Ms. Moses (ashlyn.moses@eips.ca) a picture of a family member or loved one who has served. Please include the following information with the photo:
- Name
- Rank
- Where they served
These images and details will be included in our slideshow during the ceremony to pay tribute to their service and sacrifice.Additionally, we are looking for students in cadets who would like to participate in the Remembrance Day ceremony. If your child is interested, please have them reach out to Ms. Moses for more information.Thank you for your support in making this a meaningful event.
Ms. Moses
Mr. Basaraba

Inclement Weather
With the winter season almost here, we have a few reminders for families:
- Ensure students have clothing appropriate for expected weather conditions.
- If weather conditions are bad enough to impact student transportation, Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) advises families directly, as well as posting on social media and eips.ca as early as possible.
- Decisions regarding bus cancellations are guided by an EIPS administrative procedure that states, “school bus service may be suspended…when there is a forecast or current temperature of -40 C, including wind chill factor, in one or more regions.”
- Other reasons for suspending or delaying school bus services include adverse weather and poor road conditions.
- When school bus services are suspended, schools remain open to students.
For more information, contact EIPS Student Transportation at 780-417-8151
