EHS Terry Fox Run - Friday, Sept 20
Eric Harvie School has participated in the Terry Fox Run each year since the school's inception. We have raised over $18 000 to date. Cancer has impacted our students, our staff and the entire Eric Harvie School Community. Terry Fox has been an inspiration to generations of people including the smallest members of our school. His legacy lives on in all of us.
Eric Harvie School has set a goal to raise $3 000 this year. If the students reach this goal, we will be hosting a movie event for all the students, and they even get to wear their pyjamas to school!
Please pass on the link to our school website to friends and family to make online donations:
https://schools.terryfox.ca/72857
There will also be a donation jar in the office from September 12 - 20. If you require a receipt, please donate online.
Our school will be participating in the Terry Fox run on Friday, September 20th from 9:00 - 11:30am. The grade 1-5 students will be walking over to Twelve Mile Coulee School, while we will be organizing a smaller event for the Kindergarten classes on the EHS field. Kindergarten parents please watch for more information from the Kindergarten teachers.
We are looking for volunteers with their security clearance to help us out.Volunteers are welcome to run with the students, cheer on students along the pathway, or help out with water/snacks/breaks that kids need to take.
We will meet in the EHS Maker Space and walk over to Twelve Mile Coulee school to start the race. The more the merrier!
Come be a part of the EHS Terry Fox Run! We would love to have you come and volunteer - please see the sign up here:

Fairy Lunches - School Council offers a program where if families would like to participate but do not have the means to do so, council will arrange the lunch/snack for that student.Please reach out to our office should you wish to add your child to the “Fairy Lunch” program.

Random Reminders
- Please ensure dogs remain on the sidewalk areas if you are choosing to walk your dog along with you during drop-off and pick up. We have had a few minor issues especially near the Kindergarten drop off where some younger learners are less confident around dogs, and city bylaws require dogs to remain on the sidewalk areas.
- Someday soon, the weather will turn colder. Please ensure your child is ready to be outdoors each day that they come to school. We do try to be outside most days at Eric Harvie School - only days with strong rain or temperatures with wind chill below -20 degrees are days we stay indoors.
- As the amount of daylight quickly reduces, if you are driving for pick-up and drop off, please ensure you are observing all rules of the road and the parking area designations. One key trouble spot is parking in the no-stopping zones close to intersections as it makes the visibility of pedestrians on our challenging crosswalks even harder.
The diagram below shows these designated areas:
RED = Bus Zone - no stopping during the school day (except designated buses)
YELLOW = “Kiss and Drop” zone - no leaving your vehicle unattended, 10 min. Max during drop off and pick up times
GREEN = Parking allowed zones
PURPLE = Please be extremely careful at this intersection and ensure pedestrians are able to cross safely
Action Required: Complete Online Forms By Sept. 16
Dear Parent / Legal Guardian,
Each year, schools have a variety of forms that parents / legal guardians are required to complete or review and update, some of which are paper and others online. In CBE, the forms in an online format (SchoolEngage) are:
- Demographic Verification - 2024-25 – This form includes your child’s personal information as well as parent / legal guardian contact information.
- Citizenship Information Update - 2024-25 – This form becomes available if you change your child’s citizenship information on the Demographic Verification form.
- Annual Authorization - 2024-25 – Combines the following forms:
