The Leader In Me
Lakeland Ridge School has always been on the cutting edge of new initiatives and we are continuing this tradition by taking part in a revolutionary program, based on Stephen Covey's popular book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, called The Leader In Me. We are just in the planning phase of this innovative program so please check back often to learn more. To have a sneak peek at the philosophy and to hear about the components of this program please explore the following link: http://www.theleaderinme.org/what-is-the-leader-in-me/

Re-Imagining our Sherwood Park Schools: Student, Program, and Boundary Planning
Community Consultation
Re-Imagining our Sherwood Park Schools: Student, Program, and Boundary Planning
As approved by Elk Island Public Schools (EIPS) Board of Trustees and identified in our Three Year Education Plan, one of our priorities is a review of school boundaries and programs within Sherwood Park. Given the recent demographic and program population changes in Sherwood Park, it is necessary to review and re-imagine our Sherwood Park schools to determine the best possible use of our facilities and the locations of programs for the maximum benefit of all students.
This project, Re-Imagining our Sherwood Park Schools: Student, Program, and Boundary Planning, will begin in February. We value your input and feedback and look forward to your involvement.
Throughout February and March, parents (through their School Councils), students, and staff at the schools directly affected by possible changes are invited to participate in the first round of conversations. Directly affected schools include:
- Bev Facey Community High
- Brentwood Elementary
- École Campbelltown Elementary
- Clover Bar Junior High
- F.R. Haythorne Junior High
- Glen Allan Elementary
- Lakeland Ridge
- Mills Haven Elementary
- Pine Street Elementary
- Salisbury Composite High
- Sherwood Heights Junior High
- Wes Hosford Elementary
- Westboro Elementary
- Woodbridge Farms Elementary
- Wye Elementary
This first round of conversations will inform upcoming components of the process that will take place in the spring and into the 2012/2013 school year. These later conversations will include opportunities for parents and students from other Sherwood Park and surrounding area schools to participate.
We encourage you to take this opportunity to participate in these conversations to share your input on student, program, and boundary planning for our Sherwood Park schools. Your involvement throughout this process will help ensure the recommendations put forward will be for the maximum benefit of all students.
The first conversation for Lakeland Ridge parents will take place at the February School Council meeting on Thursday, February 23rd at 6:30 pm in our library. Please plan to attend. Through your involvement, we hope to generate the best possible recommendations.
If you have questions regarding Re-Imagining our Sherwood Park Schools, please contact Principal Karen MacDonald at 780 416-9018

Important Information for Junior High Parents
This year Elk Island Public Schools introduced a new student information system. It allows the parents of junior and senior high students the opportunity to access their son's/daughter's attendance and grades through a secure computer portal. Our parent information evening about the system and how to access it was held on Monday, October 4th. If you were unable to attend the meeting, we sent home information to you. Instructions and secure passwords were given to your son/daughter in sealed envelopes. If you didn't receive your information, please ask your son/daughter for it or contact the school.
The following instructional video is meant to help parents with logging into the Parent Portal of PowerSchool. It is presented in two formats, Quicktime (.mov) and Windows Media Player (.wmv). Please choose the link that works with your computer software.
