Department of Education & Student Transportation!!!
Dear Parents,
The department of Education with the Alberta government would like to get Alberta families views on student transportation and the student transportation eligibility criteria. To do so, they are conducting an online survey that will close on June 15, 2018.
These responses will help the government determine if changes are needed to the student transportation system, and if so, what changes to make.
To share your thoughts and priorities on the student transportation criteria, please fill out the online survey.

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.
