Fees

Under Alberta Education’s School Fee Regulation, schools must consult with parents prior to setting school fees for the upcoming school year.

The proposed fees were presented at our January school council meeting. During that meeting, information about our current fee structure, and our plan for the next school year was shared. While many of these activities and services enhance students’ educational experience, we want to ensure these fees aren’t cost prohibitive for families.

Please click on the link below to view the proposed fees. We have some optional courses where we have lowered the fee, others we have had to increase the fee due to inflation, and others we are watching for the rest of the year to make a decision if we leave the same or decrease. This is dependent on scheduling and projected costs.

Please email Principal Matt Shudra at principal.clb@eips.ca with any feedback about the proposed fees. Thank you!

Proposed Fees 2025-26

If circumstances exist where you are unable to pay your fees, you can apply to have fees waived by submitting an Application for a Waiver of Fees.

The fee waiver application deadline—for both school and transportation fees—is Dec. 16, 2024. For new EIPS families, the deadline is the latter of December 16 or 45 days after registration.

If it’s determined fees aren’t eligible to be waived, based on the submitted application, payment arrangements may be made with the school’s administration or the director of Student Transportation.

Students who leave their school prior to the end of the school year or semester shall be refunded school fees (excluding activity or extracurricular fees) on a prorated basis as outlined in AP 505: School and Administrative Fees.

One of the following statements regarding refunds will be outlined on each activity or event when the fees are assessed:

1. Refunds will be issued when students are unable to participate in this activity.
2. Refunds are available for the registration portion only. The cost of busing cannot be refunded.
3. We are unable to issue refunds for this activity due to fixed costs.

If a student is not able to participate in an activity and a refund or partial refund is available, it is the responsibility of the parent to contact the school to have the applicable portion of the fee removed from their account.

A student registered for an optional course—where a substantial amount of the course is related to activities—is not eligible to be refunded and is responsible for any related outstanding fees if the student is not able to participate or chooses not to participate in the activity.

Refund Process 
School fee refunds and credits on accounts will be applied in the following order:

• Payment of outstanding fees
• Left on account for future fees
• Transferred to sibling fees, on request
• By cheque
