Farewell to Mrs. Kugler

Next year, the Bev Facey High School Science department is gaining an amazing educator! We want to say a massive thank you to Mrs. Kugler as she prepares for her next adventure.

Mrs. Kugler has spent nine wonderful years prowling the hallways of Lakeland with energy, enthusiasm, and a fantastic sense of humor as a junior high Science and Math teacher.

We are definitely going to miss her here at Lakeland, but we are so happy to see her pursue her passion for Science. Thank you for everything, Mrs. Kugler, and best of luck!

Exam Schedule

As a reminder, there are no Grade 7 and 8 final exams this year. These classes will run normally through June 23.

Exam Attendance

On any day your student has a scheduled exam, they must remain in their designated exam room until the start of morning break at 10:20.

Once their exam is complete, Grade 9 students are expected to attend their regularly scheduled classes and/or study blocks. Standard daily attendance procedures will apply for the remainder of the school day. During instructional time students are not permitted to use their personal devices to call home, nor come to the office to do so.

PROCEDURES FOR EXCUSING STUDENTS AFTER EXAMS

If you choose to excuse your student from their classes after they finish exams, please inform the school at least one day in advance. Once students are excused, they must leave school property to avoid any potential disruption to the rest of the school.

Junior High New Curriculum

Junior High Curriculum Updates

Next year, EIPS will use the 2026–27 school year as an optional piloting year in select curriculum before full implementation in September 2027. Piloting allows teachers to test the draft curriculum, build expertise, and refine instructional practices before the changes become official. EIPS’ approach is deliberately careful, with the continuity of student learning as the top priority. Here's what to expect during EIPS's piloting year.

What Students Will Experience

Grade 7: Students will pilot the new curriculum in all four subjects: Math, Social Studies, Physical Education & Wellness, and Career Education & Financial Literacy (CEFL).
Grade 8: Students will fully pilot PE & Wellness and CEFL. They will participate in a partial pilot for Math to ensure a smooth transition into Grade 9 and high school.
Grade 9: Students will continue with the current curriculum for Math and Social Studies. Grade 9 PAT preparation will remain unaffected, ensuring a predictable transition to high school. However, Grade 9s will experience the new Physical Education & Wellness and CEFL subjects.

Cohort/Classroom Requests 2026/27

We always strive to ensure that our classes are as balanced as possible and are set up to maximize success for all students. Our teachers are in the best position to understand the dynamics of each group, including the academic, social, and emotional factors that support a positive learning environment. Because of this, we will not be taking any classroom/cohort requests for the 2026/27 school year.

Student Transportation: 2026-27 registration

Planning to use Student Transportation in the 2026-27 school year? If so, make sure your child is registered so Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) can plan routes and send your child a bus pass before the first day of school.

All students who indicated needing transportation services through the returning student or new student registration processes are now registered. Those families have also received tentative route schedules and invoices—fees are due June 30, 2026.

For those students who did not indicate needing transportation services during the registration process and want to now register, complete a Busing Setup form through the Transportation Service Desk.

NOTE: Families can pay fees online using the PowerSchool Parent Portal for current students or Student Quick Pay for new students . To pay in-person, visit the EIPS Student Transportation building during its office hours—Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on school days and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on school closure days.

Little Elk Island Adventure: Registration

Elk Island Public Schools is once again planning to run the Little Elk Island Adventure, a fun and informative program for first-time school bus riders.

Annually, Student Transportation offers the Little Elk Island Adventure to new riders and their parents. The program’s aim: To help introduce families to busing so they feel comfortable and at ease before even starting school. Through a series of activities, riders learn about school bus safety, danger zones, tips on boarding and how to sit properly on the bus. After that, both the children and parents hop on the bus to practice what they’ve learned by venturing out on a short ride.

Register Now [ES1] [TS2]

Space is limited and pre-registration is required.

More information about busing for kindergarten children is available at: eips.ca/transportation/kindergarten-busing-faq.
