Thank you to everyone who attended last night’s public engagement session about a possible change to the junior high attendance area in Sherwood Park. As you know, EIPS is considering moving the feeder school for students living within Lakeland Village, Summerwood and Summerwood North to Clover Bar Junior High for grades 7 to 9. Currently, students are designated to Sherwood Heights Junior High. Changing the boundaries will help maintain school communities and programming continuity. 

If you couldn’t join us in person and want to provide feedback, or you want to provide more input about the proposed change, you still can. Simply send an email to info@wmc.ca. The deadline to submit input is Oct. 10, 2022.  

To help you with providing feedback, below are two background documents: 

Once all the feedback’s submitted, Western Management Consultants, the contracted public-consultation firm, will compile all provided input and prepare a final report for the Division to review. 

A final decision about the junior high attendance boundary is expected in November. Before making a decision, the Board will review all the information and feedback gathered throughout the public consultations. EIPS is committed to keeping the community informed about the process and will provide information as it becomes available.
