We acknowledge that we are in Mi’kma’ki, which is the unceded traditional ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq people.

From Ms. Crocker and Ms. McKay:
All the teachers and staff at Ellenvale would give a big shout out to everyone who had to isolate the past two weeks. Thank you for doing your part to protect our community and for keeping your family safe.
Callum M. has been bringing a smile to his classmate’s faces by appearing to some classes in costume.
Spirit Days!

Planning for 2021-22 School Year:
If you know your child will not be returning to Ellenvale next year because of a move or transfer, please let the office know (435-8420) or email jcottingham@hrce.ca.

Bussing for 2021-22:
If you think your child may qualify for bussing next year (this particularly applies to grade 9 students going into Grade 10), please ensure your primary address is up–to-date in PowerSchool as the bus companies draw their information from PowerSchool. Please call the office at 435 8420 if you need to update or verify your address.

Stay Safe, Be Kind.
