We want to hear from you! EIPS Survey
Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) is committed to ensuring all parents and guardians of students within the Division have a chance to share their thoughts on the overall performance of their school and the Division. One of the ways EIPS ensures its parents’ voices are heard is by conducting an annual parent survey.
Ardrossan Elementary encourages all parents and guardians to take a few minutes to complete the brief online survey. It will only take a few minutes and will help to supplement the Division’s Accountability Pillar Survey data. Plus, new this year, the survey includes questions about cellphones and personal devices. Your feedback will help the EIPS Board of Trustees develop a policy about cellphones and their use within the school.
Survey closes March 29
The feedback gathered will help the Division measure its progress towards meeting the goals and priorities outlined in the EIPS 2018-22 Four-Year Education Plan and develop strategies to better serve its students and the wider community.
NOTE: The survey is anonymous and only takes a few minutes to complete. If you want to share the experience of more than one child attending an EIPS school, simply complete the survey again.
Our Bison families are known to be the best participants! We thank you for your enthusiasm.
Great happens here!

Share Your Love of Reading! Volunteer for Wee Read!
Share Your Love of Reading! Volunteer for Wee Read!
Our Wee Read has been a wonderful success! Volunteers read English picture books to our ECS and Grade 1 students, helping them work on the pre-reading skills necessary to become a great reader. Fifty-six ECS and Grade 1 students participated in the program during our first round and forty-two students worked with our parent and community volunteers during the second round. Mr. Morgan Coates’ Grade 9 English Honours class has just joined us and will be reading with forty-seven students.
We are looking for volunteers for our second round of reading beginning in April. We still have some ECS and Grade 1 students who have not yet had the opportunity to participate in this amazing program.
Volunteers are the heart of the program. They come to the school for 60 minutes once a week for eight consecutive weeks. If you deliver Hot Lunch or pick up your child after school, there are 30 minute sessions that can fit into your schedule! Volunteers read with two groups of two students. Each group works with the volunteer for 30 minutes. During the 30 minute session, volunteers read an English picture book, talk about the book they read, and play games that support literacy skills. Because each volunteer reads with the same children each week, a bond is developed. This makes the time together special, helping the children believe in themselves as readers.
For detailed information, check out Mme Kulmatycki’s Literacy Support eTeacher Page.
