Principal's Message

Dear Salisbury Composite School Community,


As we wrap up the first week of the school year, it’s been great to see our students settling into their routines, reconnecting with friends, and embracing the opportunities that high school has to offer.

This week has been full of energy and enthusiasm as students have navigated their new schedules, met their teachers, and begun to engage in a wide array of academic and extracurricular activities.

We understand that the transition to high school for our grade 10 students can bring about a mix of emotions for both students and parents, and we’re here to partner with you every step of the way. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns, or feedback throughout the year.

We look forward to an exciting and successful year ahead.

Opportunity Wednesday:

Opportunity Wednesdays take place every week, except for the first Wednesday of each month. This is a valuable time to receive extra help in your core classes, catch up on CTS projects, or visit our wellness center. Throughout the building, you’ll find various ways to enrich your high school experience. Keep an eye out for special events and opportunities posted around the school.


Parent Council:

We are excited to announce that our first Parent Council meeting will take place on Thursday, September 19th at 6:00 p.m., in the library. This is a great opportunity to connect, share ideas, and collaborate on ways to enhance our school community. Your participation is valuable, and we look forward to seeing you there!

Door Locking Procedure:

From a security perspective, the most important function of an exterior door is for protection from the elements and to control entry for building security. Elk Island Public Schools has enacted a Building Security and Door Locking Procedure for the 2024 - 2025 school year.


All exterior doors, including the front entrance doors, will be locked, and opened only for student and visitor access during designated school entry times and special events.


Students who arrive when doors are locked, as well as parents/caregivers and visitors, will be welcomed into the office through the main entrance near the front office after ringing the doorbell/video-monitored intercom entry system. All visitors must sign in and out of the school at the main office, follow the visitor protocol and wear visible identification.

Cell Phone Policy:

Appropriate use of personal communication devices contributes to the safety and security of students and staff, minimizes risk to personal wellbeing and disruption to instruction, and protects personal privacy and academic integrity. As such, personal devices are expected to be out of sight during classroom instruction.


Student Parking & Updated Student Drop Off Information:

Parking is available in the front (east) of the school and at Festival Place parking lot. Staff and EIPS parking is located at the rear of the school; by the large gym. A reminder that students cannot park in EIPS or Salisbury staff parking. The bus loop at the front of the school is closed for all parking except for buses and commercial vehicles. Parents/caregivers, please drop off students at the back of the school or follow the new signage at the front of the school. We have been very intentional about freeing up parking spaces for students so would appreciate everyone’s cooperation. Strathcona County bylaw officer will be informed of cars parked in unauthorized areas and those cars may be ticketed.


Additional Parking Information for students:

  • All Day - Kinsmen, Arena and Pine Street
  • 2 hours - Festival Way and Underground ($2 / 2hours after that)
  • Do not park in Staff lot or on grass
