When reporting an absence, please give the reason why your child is away. If your child is ill, please let us know what symptoms they are experiencing. Please email pneattendance@eips.ca or call the school at 780-467-2246 and leave a message.
Thank you for notifying us about your upcoming absence due to your family holiday. While we recognize the importance of family time and the valuable experiences it can bring, it is important to note that classroom learning often involves dynamic, collaborative activities and discussions that are challenging to replicate through take-home work or after the fact.
In accordance with Elk Island Public Schools’ practices, teachers are not required to prepare work in advance for holiday absences. To help maintain engagement, we encourage your child to continue their learning through activities such as free reading and journaling.
