Peanut Aware/Scent Free School
Clover Bar Junior High has both students and staff that have severe allergies to peanut based products and scented products and can have life-threatening reactions.
Please send snacks and foods that are peanut free.
Scented products are not to be brought to the school and all staff and students should consciously limit their personal use of scented body products and hair care products on school days.
Due to the severe potential health threat to members of our school community, the intentional use or spraying of scented products in the building will be dealt with quickly and seriously.
Please read the attached EIPS Scented Products and Scent Sensitivity document.
Please help our school be a scent free zone!

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.
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 Cathy Allen at 780-467-2295.
