Welcome to Elphinstone! You have probably been here for track and field meets, cool school, the Fall Fun Fest, or many other activities, so we hope you already feel comfortable in the building.
Our transition activities typically involve several components, including visits to grade 7 classes by several ESS staff members and students, the Grade 7 Day, where grade 7s visit ESS, and the Grade 7 Parent Night.
Other Information for Grade 7s & their families
