Showing up for school has a huge impact on a student’s social and academic development. Even as children grow more independent, families play a key role in making sure students get to school and understand how attendance benefits their health and success in school and beyond.

Did you Know?

• Students should miss no more than 9 days of school each year to stay engaged and on track to graduation.
• By 6th grade, chronic absence (missing 10%, or 2 days each month) is one of three signs that a student may drop out of high school.

• By 9th grade, attendance is a better predictor of graduation rates than 8th grade test scores.

  
  

Schools throughout Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) are celebrating School Bus Safety Week from October 19-23. The theme: ‘Be Bright, Stand in Sight,’ which helps remind students to be visible and make smart choices while waiting for the school bus. Throughout the week, various activities are planned, including information sessions, bus-safety lesson plans and bus-evacuation drills.

Families with students in grades 7-12 are invited to a virtual myBlueprint information session on October 6 at 6 p.m. Parents and guardians are encouraged to attend to see how the tool works, explore its features and learn how it can support individual goals and career planning through junior high, senior high and life beyond graduation. See below for details on how to join the sessions:

Mrs. Rice is excited to announce that The Indigenous Youth Ambassadors Club will be running again this year. This initiative is designed to create a supportive space for students to explore and celebrate Indigenous culture, and she would love for your child to be part of it.

Club Details:

• First Meeting: Monday, September 28th, 2026
• Frequency: Once a month throughout the school year
• Time: Lunch hour
• Location: Music Room

Indigenous students in grades one to nine are encouraged to bring a friend or ally along with them. Together, they will engage in enriching activities led by mentors and guest speakers, where they will learn about art, games, language, plants, beading, and making Bannock.

If your child is interested in joining the Indigenous Youth Ambassadors, please encourage them to attend the first meeting on September 28th. Mrs. Rice looks forward to a wonderful year filled with learning and community building.

Lakeland Ridge Office

Students with severe allergies (anaphylaxis), asthma, epilepsy, or diabetes require a medical plan. Please contact our office if your child has one of the conditions listed above or has a medical condition that requires a medical plan. A permission click will be emailed to you to complete.

If your child requires medication to be accessible at the school, such as Tylenol, Advil, Benadryl, Reactine, Tums, or prescription medications, please complete the Medication Management Form.

Students are not permitted to administer their own medication at school. All medication should be provided in its original packaging and labelled with the student’s name. All medication will be stored in the office with administering recorded.

Wondering when and how to pay for school fees? School fee information for the 2026-27 school year will be posted on the PowerSchool Parent Portal in late September. All fees are due within 30 days of being posted. NOTE: Additional fees may be added throughout the year—for example, at the beginning of each semester, as your child takes part in various activities, or they may be adjusted by changes in selected optional courses in junior and senior high school. If you’re unable to pay your school fees, you can apply to have certain fees waived. The application deadline is Dec. 15, 2026.
