About Edmonton Public Schools
Getting Involved - Partners in Education
At Edmonton Public Schools, we value our Partners in Education families, school councils, community groups, businesses, post-secondary institutions and donors. Our partnerships exist on many different levels and provide opportunities for involvement for everyone. And, most importantly, they support teaching and learning so that all of our students can have bright futures.
If you would like to receive occasional emails about events/issues of interest to parents/families, please email Jean.Jenkins@epsb.ca and ask to be added to our Partners in Education database.

Success at school begins at home. You are the first and most important teacher your child will ever have. As a parent, you can help stimulate your child's enthusiasm for learning. Learn more about how to support your child here!
- Community as Partners
