STUDENT INFORMATION VERIFICATION FORMS - These are due ASAP

Every year we are required to provide Alberta Education with a signed and dated  "Student Verification form" for each of our students.  We also use the form to ensure all of the information we have regarding your child(ren) is correct. This year we have moved to an electronic verification form for this process.  In an attempt to streamline our process, the FOIP and Technology Use forms have been incorporated into the Verification form.

To access and complete this form you will need to log into the parent portal via your Web browser (Google Chrome for example.  You will not be able to complete this process on the App).  Click on the SchoolEngage icon on the left.  You will be redirected to the SchoolEngage site where you can select your child’s name.  Click on the  2022-2023 Student Verification Form and then on the blue icon in the first column to review the information.  Once you’ve completed your verification, click on the green submit button on the bottom of the page.

NEW Way of accessing your child’s images online:

A Message about Soccer Academy from ÉCKS

Dear Grade 5 Families, 

It's great to connect with you!    

On our ECKS school website, we have information about our school's Soccer Academy Program running from February to June 2023.  Originally,  it was communicated that the registration deadline for the program was October 30, 2022.  As we reflect on our ability to effectively plan for the second semester, we need to adjust the deadline.  Therefore, the registration deadline has been changed to August 30, 2022.  This has been updated on both the parent information document and the registration form.    Please see our school website for more information!  

We can't wait to meet all of our new students in September.  Have a great summer break.

January 3 - Gr. 4 and 5 Families - Drop-off/Pick up location change

In an effort to reduce vehicle congestion in the back loop of the school parking/drop off/pick up, we are asking grade 4 and 5 families to drop their student off to line up outside the front of the school, rather than at the back and adding to the congestion. We thought we would be in the new school and wouldn't need to make a change, but as we don't yet have a move in date, we need to make the change now to try to keep students safe and minimize risk.

Starting January 3, please drop your gr. 4 or 5 student off to line up in the front of the school yard.  If they are crossing the street in front of the school, please ensure they do so safely, using the crosswalk. 

Thanks for your help!

 

January 3, 2022! - Welcome back - regular classes resume!
