“Those who trust in him will understand truth, and the faithful will abide with him in love, because grace and mercy are upon his holy ones, and he watches over his elect. - Wisdom 3.9

Over the past while, we have walked through a time of uncertainty and waiting. Yet, as we gather once more as a school community, we are reminded that our strength does not come from perseverance alone, but from God’s grace working through us and among us.

To our teachers, thank you for standing up for our students with courage and conviction, even when the road was difficult. Your dedication speaks volumes about your love for the kids entrusted to your care. To our support staff, thank you for faithfully “manning the fort” and keeping our school grounded in care and consistency. To our parents, thank you for your patience, understanding and support during this time. And to our students, welcome back! We have missed you greatly and have loved seeing your faces this week! Thank you for your steadfast support!

In Philippians 4:13, we are reminded: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Today, we lean into that promise. We give thanks for the courage, compassion, and community that have carried us through these last few weeks, and we look forward with renewed hope. As we enter this new chapter, may it be one of healing, collaboration, and deep gratitude. And, as we return to our regular rhythm, please know that we are still in the process of sorting out dates and events and we thank you for your patience and understanding as we get everything back on track.

May Christ’s peace guide our steps, and may we move forward together; renewed, united, and ready to serve with hearts full of love and joy.

With gratitude,
The STMY Administration Team

*Please get your child's CONSENT & DEMOGRAPHIC forms completed ASAP!

We appreciate your understanding in this matter!*

The “EICS Demographic Confirmation Form” for the 2025-2026 school year, is now available for you to complete and submit, for each of your children attending an Elk Island Catholic School. The form is found online in your PowerSchool Parent Portal and you may have received an email regarding updating this info.

This form is a mandatory document and is required to be updated for every student each year, as it could greatly impact you with respect to the Canada Revenue Agency information and Immigration when they request validation of your information.

Alberta Education requires that we obtain a detailed update of student demographics on an annual basis. Funding they provide for your child's education is conditional to us receiving these updates and making them part of the student's record. We would appreciate you completing and submitting this form, for each of your children, as soon as possible.

Please contact our school at 780-632-3934, if you have any questions or require assistance.

Also please let us know if there are any significant allergies that we need to be aware of in the school, especially for those students who are new to the building.

*PLEASE CHECK YOU BALANCE ON POWER SCHOOL ACCOUNTS,

AND MAKE SURE ALL FEES FROM LAST YEAR ARE PAID*

Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
