We’re off to a wonderful start to the year! Athletics are underway, routines are taking shape and classrooms are buzzing with learning. Teachers are guiding students on how to access assignments via Google Classroom. This is an important step in helping them build independence and take ownership of their learning. We’re excited to see their confidence grow as they settle into the year ahead.
Completing Required Online Forms
Each year, schools have a variety of forms that parents / legal guardians / independent students are required to complete or review and update, some of which are paper and others online. For families who have not yet completed these annual forms, please submit the Demographic Verification and Annual Authorization forms in SchoolEngage for your child by Monday, Sept. 15.
Annual Volunteer Form
Please be aware that we require a New Annual Volunteer Form from anyone who wants to Volunteer this school year (2025/2026). Last Years (2024/2025) forms have expired. A separate email about volunteering information will be sent home this week via your student’s homeroom teacher. Annual-Volunteer-Registration-Form (1).pdf Please email completed forms to the school email.
School Council News
Time is running out! Apple Fundraiser - Don’t forget to order your apples in support of our Band program. Until September 10 – Here’s the online form.
Our Welcome Back BBQ is coming up! Please contact Lisa @ elboyaschool.chair@gmail.com if you’re interested in volunteering to make this a special night for our community. There are also a few School Council open positions for parents to volunteer. This is a great way to meet other families and help make a positive difference in our school community.
No experience is needed - just bring your ideas, enthusiasm, and willingness to work together. Whether you can give a little time or a lot, your voice and presence matter. Plus, it’s a fun way to stay connected with what’s happening at school and to help shape exciting opportunities for our students.
Terry Fox Run
Our school will be participating in the annual Terry Fox Run on Friday, September 26. This event is a wonderful opportunity for our students to come together, stay active, and carry on Terry’s legacy of hope and perseverance. Families are invited to support our fundraising efforts by donating online through our school’s page: https://schools.terryfox.ca/98307. Thank you for helping us keep Terry’s dream alive!
Wishing families a wonderful week!
