2018/2019 School Year
At this time of year we are starting to plan for next year. If you know that your child will not be returning to École OLPH this fall, please email M. Morin at alyrem@eics.ab.ca as soon as possible with this information.
Chromebook Leasing Program
We have had a fantastic two years with the launch of the One to One device program with EICS and the ability to lease a chromebook for students in Grade 4 and up. This leasing program was started to smooth the transition with the bring your own device model for student technology and is being wrapped up at the end of this year.
We continue to have a leasing and purchase partnership with Staples Canada and more information about this exciting initiative was sent home with each student.
For those parents that are currently leasing, we are pleased to offer you the ability to buy-out your existing device for a nominal fee of $35. The form and payment options are both available on-line within PowerSchool on the front page (see pictures below the title ~ EICS Chromebook Lease - Wrapup).
If you are not buying out your child's Chromebook, all Leased Chromebooks and chargers need to be return to the school office prior to the last day of school. Should they not be returned a $35 buy-out fee onto your child's PowerSchool account.
God Bless

Gearing up for Year 3 of the One-to-One Technology Program
Dear Parents,
With the successful implementation of the One to One technology program, EICS is excited to enter into year 3 of the initiative.
Beginning in September of 2018-2019, the option to purchase or lease to own a Chromebook will be offered by Staples and not directly from the school.
Because of the positive feedback we’ve received from you about the service and support provided by Staples, we continue to recommend them to our parent community.
Here is a link to their most recent offer, which now includes payment options.
We will continue to maintain a small inventory of Chromebooks at the school in the event that the student forgets to bring or charge their own device.
Any further questions, please contact your school administration.
Outstanding Fees!
Dear Parents,
Please log onto your PowerSchool account to pay any outstanding Field Trip Fees, Option Fees, or Chromebook Leasing / Buyout Fees.
All Fees can be paid on-line or cash or cheque (payable to EICS) to Mme Winland in the office.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact M. Morin at alyrem@eics.ab.ca or M. St. Jean at marcs@eics.ab.ca or 780-467-5631.
God Bless.
