EIPS is in the initial stages of developing a transition plan for students impacted by the decision to relocate the senior high French Immersion program and balance senior high enrolment in Sherwood Park. Throughout 2024-25, several consultations are planned to ensure a smooth and successful transition for everyone involved.
Latest Update
Currently, EIPS is in the initial stages of developing a plan and implementation strategies to ensure a smooth and successful transition for everyone involved—students, staff and families. To make sure EIPS gets it right, the Division has several phases of consultation planned.
Phase 1 involved a survey for impacted students, staff and families, which ran November 7-20. The survey asked respondents a series of questions about their individual needs, concerns, goals and suggestions to make the transition as successful as possible. All impacted families were invited to complete the survey—the link was sent directly to stakeholders by email.
Now that the survey is closed, EIPS is moving into Phase 2. Currently, the Division is reviewing all the feedback provided to begin work on developing a transition plan—considering local needs, program requirements and related outcomes-oriented strategies. Then, in Phase 3, expected to start in early 2025, the Division will share the draft plan at a public feedback session—collecting even more input from stakeholders to help fine-tune and perfect a final version.
