Tonight's announcement comes as a surprise to #EPSB. School divisions were not consulted on this shift. If we were, #EPSB would have shared the desire to move slowly, to listen to parents, to listen to boards.

DMAA is looking for coaches for the upcoming badminton season. The season runs from mid March to late April and the team will consist of 16 senior players and 16 junior players. Please reach out to Dylan Grayson at [email protected].
Thank you in advance for your support!

Thank you to all of the donors who made this portrait of our school namesake, created by local artist Tom Menczel, possible. It will inspire students for generations to come! @winsettcentre @epsbnews @NathanIpYEG @WISESTualberta

Tx to parents, students & staff who spoke loudly & clearly about wanting protocols to continue. Board voted to advocate for testing, contract tracing, self-isolation, mandatory masking, cohorts and screening. You also helped shape #EPSB plan to make masks mandatory. Thank you.

The family choice deadline has been extended until August 19 at 4 p.m. The Division is reviewing the back to school health guidance released by the province. #EPSB families can expect to read our 2021-22 Back to School Plan on Monday. Learn more: https://t.co/J94VoTvUGX #yeg

The emails continue to roll in advocating for a continuation of COVID protocols in #EPSB schools. I hear you and I agree. School divisions are in a position where we have to wait to see what gov't re-entry plan is before we can announce our own. The waiting is tough. #abed #yeg

Thanks to everyone who shared concerns on the draft K-6 curriculum with #EPSB. Concerns included: content, age appropriateness & how it doesn’t align with the board’s draft anti-racism & equity policy. #EPSB won’t be piloting it. #abed #yeg https://t.co/g3wdt1vnw4

Gather a glimpse into what our grade nine students were up to last week during Skills Exploration Days! Fast forward to 2:01:15 to watch our live interview! #ABisSkilled

[SkillsCanadaAlberta @skillsalberta]

Tune in to day 2 of Skills Exploration Days! We have more eager students from across the province ready to put their new skills and new tools to use building their prototypes. https://t.co/DJsQgcMwoM #ABisSkilled

[DMAA School @DMAA_School]

Thanks again for the opportunity, @skillsalberta & supporting sponsors! Our grade nines really enjoyed the hands-on experience and working with one another through the human-centered design approach. The Chindogu idea was an excellent challenge!

[SkillsCanadaAlberta @skillsalberta]

A big thank you to Finning Canada, our presenting sponsor for Skills Exploration Days. We are so excited that with their support we were able to find a way to keep our junior high students connected while they learn new skills! #ABisSkilled

[EPSB @EPSBNews]

It’s time to tell us if your child will learn in person or online for Quarter 2. Visit the forms section of your parent SchoolZone account to let us know. The deadline for #EPSB families to make this choice is Monday, Oct. 19 at 4 p.m.

[EPSB @EPSBNews]

Our bus carriers have told us there will be yellow bus delays for #EPSB students this week. Families are encouraged to make other arrangements to get children to and from school, if possible. See SchoolZone for more information or visit
