Elk Island Public Schools is inviting families in Sherwood Park to a pre-kindergarten pizza party information night on April 23, 2026, to discuss early learning opportunities for the upcoming school year.

The event will take place from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Pine Street Elementary, located at 133 Pine Street. Families with children who may benefit from pre-kindergarten programming are encouraged to attend to learn about registration and program details for the 2026-27 school year. Those planning to attend must RSVP by April 21.

During the information night, parents can explore two pre-kindergarten options. The Play and Learn at School program is designed to support children with developmental delays or disabilities. The school division is also launching a new, inclusive program called Early Learners in Motion, which focuses on play-based learning, music, and early literacy. The new program costs $200 per month, though families may qualify for funding through Alberta Education.

All students registered in either program are eligible for free developmental screenings. Officials from the school division noted that these early learning experiences are designed to help children build a strong foundation for kindergarten and their future education. Intake for the 2026-27 school year is currently open, and families are required to complete the intake process before submitting their final registration forms.
