Hello Parents/Guardians!
Well, I think this year passed faster than the last one! Again, it is hard to believe that we are already at the end of another school year! As final preparations are under way to wrap up this school year and prepare for start-up in September, we wanted to update you with regards to School Supplies for 2025-2026 school year.
Similar to, previous years and many other schools in our area, we will again order school supplies for every student registered at EES for the school year. There were many factors that went into this decision including specific supply lists, availability of supplies in the area and trying to eliminate waste of supplies not needed, etc. Staff also appreciate this model as this ensures that all students start the year with the same quantity and quality of supplies. In addition, we are able to receive very competitive bulk pricing, which helps to minimize the overall expense to each student/family. Below is a list of the prices organized according to grade level:
EES 2023-2024 School Supply Fees:
Gr K-2 $43.00
Gr 3-5 $48.00
Gr 6-7 $51.00
School Cash 2025/2026:
School supply fees will be available to purchase on your school cash account, if you do not have one yet, please see attached instructions to create your account. In previous years we have opened purchase to all summer for these fees. After some confusion last year, we decided to launch the link the week of August 18th and continue until fees are settled. SD6 is committed to eliminating cash and cheque transactions whenever possible. Many of you used this program this year with great success. All parents/guardians should receive an email inviting them to School Cash in August prompting the reminder to pay for school fees. If you do not receive an invite, please contact the school. Once you have signed in and completed the simple set up, please determine the grade for your child/ren for the upcoming school year, add the item to your cart and checkout. If you are unable to use the online cash system for whatever reason, please contact the school office to discuss possible alternate arrangements.
If you know you are not attending EES next year, please let us know as soon as possible. If you are unsure if you will be here, please give us a heads up and we ask that you pay for school supplies and we can refund you in the fall if you happen to move.
We hope that this process alleviates any stress and saves you some time & money associated with school supplies for next year. If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback on using the new system please feel free to contact the school at 250-347-9543.
