Planning for Back to School
The past year was great at Fort Saskatchewan Elementary School, and we're looking forward to welcoming new and returning students for 2010/2011.
Fort Saskatchewan Elementary School is now closed for the summer but will reopen again on Monday, August 23. If you have not done so already, please visit the school during the following times to register your children:
Monday, August 23 - Friday, August 27, 9:30 am - 3:00 pm
Browse through our website for registration, calendar, program, and other information to help you plan for next year. For general information about back to school throughout Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS), visit the division website at www.eips.ca. Here, you'll also find a copy of the complete 2010/2011 EIPS' Back-to-School Guide available in August.
First day of Class
Grades 1-6 classes resume on Monday, August 30. Kindergarten will start with staggered entry dates, with the first day of full kindergarten classes falling on Thursday, September 2, 2010 . Check out the EIPS' system calendar for a complete list of holidays and school closure days for 2010/2011. Our bell schedule is also available here to assist you in planning appointments for your children.
Supply Lists
As you prepare for back to school this fall, please reference our school supply lists to ensure your children have everything they need for the first day back in the classroom.
Student Transportation
Student transportation is provided at no cost to all students living greater than 2.39 km from Fort Elementary. Families accessing payride or school-of-choice busing pay a fee for this service. General information, applicable fees, and FAQs about busing are available on the Student Transportation page of the EIPS' division website.
All families using EIPS' student transportation services should have received a letter in May outlining route information and times as well as applicable fees. We encourage parents to take advantage of the EIPS' secure online payment option to pay transportation fees. Pay before June 30 and save $25.
Write-On Stationery School Supplies
Write On school supplies will once again be available for purchase by FSE families. Forms were sent home on Wednesday, May 26 and can be accessed online by clicking here. Forms and payment are due back to the school by mid June.
