If these dates and times do not work for you, please connect directly with your child's teacher to arrange an alternate time for the meeting.
**Attention Mrs. Oikonen's Elementary Students: Your link will be on the classroom's "Homeroom Pages". Email Mrs. Oikonen if you have any troubles: ChristyO@eics.ab.ca

You will receive an email from the teacher you booked with. In that email will be a Google link for your interview. Please be mindful these interviews can only be 10 minutes as we have several parents to get through. If you require a longer interview, please arrange an alternate date and time.
Thank you.
**Please note: Because some teachers are only part-time, their availability also reflects this in the schedule.
Congratulations Isabella!

PowerSchool Weekly Notifications for Parents
Please see the instructions on how to set up PowerSchool notifications so you can receive a weekly update on your student's progress (please note: this only applies to EICS students in grades 7-12). If you require any assistance with these steps, please do not hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Damur, Assistant Principal at melissad@eics.ab.ca
The Email Notifications page provides you with the ability to manage your parent account email preferences, including what information you would like to receive, how often you would like to receive the information, and any additional email addresses that you would like the information sent to. Email preferences may be applied to a single student or all students associated to your parent account.
- Step 1: Log into your Parent Portal on PowerSchool
- Step 2: On the left hand side of webpage, you will find Account Management. Click on Account Management. A sub category entitled Email Notification will drop down.
- Step 3: You will be taken to a screen that will provide you with the options to choose the type of email you would like to receive, determine how often the emails are sent, and trigger your email notification to send immediately by choosing "Send Now".
We recommend that Parents/Guardians check PowerSchool regularly to be up to date on their progress and as a means to facilitate communication between teacher, student, and parents/guardians.
