EIPS Returning Student Registration Opens February 1

Sherwood Park, AB. — Elk Island Public Schools’ (EIPS) returning student registration process takes place Feb. 1-28, 2022.

On February 1, the Division will send an email to all EIPS families asking them to confirm their child’s enrolment for the upcoming year by completing the online Returning Student Registration Form—available by logging in to the PowerSchool Parent Portal. Using the form, families can indicate the school their child plans to attend in the upcoming school year and apply to attend a non-designated school, if applicable.

The returning student registration process is the only time current students, in pre-kindergarten to Grade 11, can request to attend a non-designated school or out-of-boundary program for the upcoming school year—acceptance is based on available space and resources. The only exception: Students who move into the Division from outside the geographic area, or another community within the Division, after the returning student registration process closes. Some EIPS schools have closed boundaries because of high enrolment numbers and aren’t accepting non-designated students for the 2022-23 school year. Schools will contact all students directly who apply to attend a non-designated school and advise of the outcome during the second week of March.

All current EIPS students—in pre-kindergarten to Grade 11—are required to complete the Returning Student Registration Form by Feb. 28, 2022:

To confirm your child will attend the identified school;
To submit the request for your child to attend a non-designated school; or
To inform the Division your child will not be returning to EIPS next year.

EIPS is one of Alberta’s largest school divisions, serving approximately 17,125 students in 43 schools. We're proud to be an integral part of our communities, including Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan, Vegreville, Strathcona and Lamont counties and the western portion of the County of Minburn.
