February 10 Fire Wire
Happy Monday!
February is here, bringing with it Valentine's Day and a reminder of the importance of kindness and connection in our school community. While we embrace the celebrations of the season, we’re also looking ahead to the future! It may seem early, but planning for the 2025-26 school year is already underway.
A few key reminders for families: Returning Student Registration for all EIPS students opens Monday—please ensure you complete this important step. Kindergarten registration is also open for our newest learners. For our Grade 9 families, high school open houses are happening this week, providing a great opportunity to explore options for next year. Additionally, parents are encouraged to complete the 2025-26 fee survey to help guide decisions for the upcoming school year. Information for all of the above items can be found in this week's Fire Wire blog post articles below.
Finally, as winter continues, please remember to dress warmly for the weather—it’s essential for staying safe and comfortable during the school day.
Stay warm, stay engaged, and let’s make the most of February together!
It's a great week for a great week!

ACTION
Complete your Returning Student Registration: February 10-24
Elk Island Public Schools’ (EIPS) returning student registration process is now open. All current students, except Grade 12, must complete the online Returning Student Registration Form to confirm their enrolment in a school and program for the upcoming 2025-26 school year. Additionally, students who want to attend a non-designated school or program need to make that request through the returning student registration process—acceptance is based on available space. All current EIPS students are required to complete the form by Feb. 24, 2025.
To complete your child’s returning student registration, refer to the Returning Student Registration Form email you received from Elk Island Public Schools through Permission Click on February 10. Families will receive one email for each student. No log in is required to complete the form.
For more information, contact the school directly.
