Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) has once again partnered with the United Way for the 2022-23 Tools for School campaign. Annually, Tools for School provides backpacks and school supplies to students in kindergarten through Grade 12 whose families have limited resources. While the school supplies included may not exactly match your school's supply list, they're a great start. 

Requesting Support

If you’re a parent, or know a parent, who needs access to the program, contact your child's school or submit an order to EIPS Central Services directly. We'll respectfully distribute the backpack to your child at the beginning of the 2022-23 school year. Contact your child's school to inquire about available backpacks and supplies. 

Making a Donation

It’s easy. EIPS is also collecting donations of new, unopened supplies. Simply pick up a few extra supplies when you’re out shopping for back to school this summer. Then, drop them off at EIPS Central Services.
     High-need items

The United Way also accepts monetary donations, and donors can designate the funds directly to the Tools for School program. 

For more information about the EIPS Tools for School program, contact Communication Services through the online contact form or call 780-464-3477.

EIPS Central Services is located at 683 Wye Rd. in Sherwood Park.
