See the link for NSO News March 17-29 (Monday is Instructional day #29 of 84 or 35% through semester 2)

As we move past the 35% mark of Semester 2, we want to express our appreciation for your partnership in supporting our students. Your involvement—whether through daily encouragement, communication with teachers, or engagement in school meetings—plays a vital role in student success.

We are currently gathering valuable insights through the EIPS and Alberta Education annual Feedback Surveys, which remain open until March 21. Your input helps shape our school’s growth and ensures we continue to meet the needs of our learners. If you haven’t already, please take a few moments to complete the survey. Your voice matters!

Additionally, our Parent-Teacher-Student Conferences are coming up on March 17 & 18. These meetings are a great opportunity to connect with teachers, discuss progress, and collaborate on strategies to support your child’s learning journey. We encourage you to attend and be part of the conversation.

As always, we appreciate your continued support and involvement. As our school motto reminds us, "Small steps are still progress," and together, we are making a difference in every student’s journey.

March Parent Teacher Student Conferences- These are an excellent opportunity to discuss your child's progress and collaborate to support their learning journey. Fort Saskatchewan (FSO) Monday, March 17 & Sherwood Park (SPO) & Vegreville (VGO): Tuesday, March 18. Future Parent Teacher Student Conferences dates are April 23 (SPO/VGO) & April 24 (FSO). As always contact teachers directly should you have questions or concerns.

EIPS Annual Feedback Survey: For Parents and Caregivers (Closes March 21)- Your input is invaluable in shaping the future of our school and ensuring that our students receive the best possible education. This survey provides you with an opportunity to share your experiences with both EIPS and Next Step, helping guide important decisions about funding, programming, and future initiatives. As a school that values alternative and flexible education, your voice is crucial in advocating for the importance of personalized learning pathways. Your feedback directly influences decisions that impact our programming and resources, ensuring that we continue to meet the diverse needs of our students.
