Ivor Dent School

As Edmonton prepares for a partial solar eclipse on Monday, it’s a good opportunity to remind your children about sun-viewing safety. Starting at 11:54 a.m. on Monday, the moon will cover part of the sun during the eclipse that lasts an hour and 45 minutes. If your children are outside over the lunch hour, make sure they protect their vision with these important safety tips: https://bit.ly/3vIfBNz

Check out our open house on Feb. 22!

It’s time to get ready for the 2022-2023 school year! Sign in to your parent SchoolZone account between March 8 and April 14 to select your child’s preferred school.
Whether your child is staying at the same school or changing schools, all students need to pre-enrol. Learn more about pre-enrolment at https://epsb.ca/schools/register/currentstudents/.

We remind all families to log onto Schoolzone or call our school to select their learning choice by January 11th, 2022. Please contact the school office if you have any questions.

As our school will be closed on Sept. 30 for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we will honour this important day on Sept. 29. Join us in the spirit of reconciliation by wearing orange.

New information is now available about what school will look like this fall. Read the 2021-22 Back to School Plan and learn what to expect in September: https://bit.ly/3AKGpcN

We encourage you to read through the plan and decide if your child will learn online or in person for the first half of the school year.

Please make your decision by August 19 at 4 p.m.

We welcome all parents to attend the Ivor Dent School Council Annual General Meeting on Thursday the 24th at 6:30 PM. Trustee Trisha Estabrooks will be attending to meet our community! See SchoolZone for details.

At Ivor Dent, we celebrate our differences and show our pride!

We thank MusiCounts and Great Kitchen Party for their support and donation of a class set of instruments for our students!

's partnership with MusiCounts has been crucial in furthering our reach and impact by providing instruments, equipment and resources to schools across Canada.

With the contributions from KP’s supporters in this past year, 12 new schools have been allocated instruments. Canada’s Great Kitchen Party has now supported programs in 53 schools! Your generosity has allowed more young people the chance to explore diverse musical genres and traditions while celebrating and sharing their cultural identity through MusiCounts' Band Aid Program.
