Tools for School
If you’re a parent, or know of a parent, who needs help purchasing school supplies, we can help. EIPS has once again partnered with the United Way for the annual Tools for School campaign. Tools for School in EIPS provides backpacks filled with school supplies to students in kindergarten to Grade 12 whose families have limited resources. When classes resume, the backpacks are respectfully distributed to students who’ve order them.
Submit an order
The Division is also accepting donations for the campaign. If you have the means to do so, why not pick up a few extra supplies when you’re back-to-school shopping. Donations can be dropped off at EIPS Central Services.
683 Wye Rd., Sherwood Park
Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
School Fees
Families are invoiced for school fees at the beginning of every school year. Fees are due within 30 days of the invoice date. The simplest, and most convenient, way to pay school fees is by logging in to the PowerSchool Parent Portal. There you can view your fees and pay them online using Visa or MasterCard.
If circumstances exist where you are unable to pay your fees, you can apply to have fees waived by submitting an Application for a Waiver of Fees. The fee waiver application deadline is in December.
All families using EIPS Student Transportation services for the upcoming school year will receive a tentative route schedule and the applicable invoice. Transportation fees can be paid online. Bus passes and updated route information are mailed to families in August.
Haven’t registered for Student Transportation yet? There’s still time. Contact Student Transportation at 780-417-8151.
Little Elk Island Adventure
For all pre-kindergarten and kindergarten first-time bus riders, the Division offers the Little Elk Island Adventure program. It’s an opportunity for new students and their parents to learn about bus safety, the danger zone, how to board the bus and scan their bus pass, how to sit properly on the bus and EIPS’ Code of Conduct.
Sessions will take place in Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan and Vegreville in mid-August.
