​Please visit our COVID-19 page for the most up-to-date information. Our plan is subject to change throughout the school year as more information becomes available.​

One way parents/guardians can make a meaningful difference for students is by participating on our school’s parent society. Under the School Act, a parent society is a formal group of parents, incorporated under the Societies Act for the purpose of raising funds for the school. A society is a separate legal entity from the school council. The school principal is not part of this group. More information can be found in our CBE Administrative Regulation 5001 – School Councils and School/Parent Societies.​​

Parent Society

Our Parent Society is known as Elbow Park School Parent Society (EPPS).

Some of the activities undertaken by our Council include: fundraising; organizing of social activities for the children; coordination of charitable activities; special lunches; and more. These activities have a major impact on the success and enjoyment of the children at the school.

Examples of what our fundraising efforts have purchased are: 

  • Outdoor Boulder Classroom
  • Planting trees and shrubs to create our naturalization area
  • Class set of 25 iPads for student use
  • MakerSpace tools and supplies
  • Many residencies including Foothills Nordic Skiing, Elev8 Lacrosse, Aussie Rules Football, Trickster Theatre, and Alien Inline Skating
  • iXL Math and Language Arts online subscription

RT @CMOH_Alberta: Effective today parents & guardians in AB can access their children’s COVID-19 results via MyHealth Records, enabling them to receive their children’s test results more quickly. Once a child is tested, parents can log in & see the results as soon as they’re available, 24/7. (5/8)

RT @FechJason: Thanks to our Parent Society for funding to “grow” our outdoor classroom. Students @ElbowParkSchool two years ago told me we had no insects or animals on our grounds. I saw dragonflies & bees today! Thanks @BowPointNursery & @TheArborest for planning and planting this past week. https://t.co/cAh6Z56AeH
